- Costs for mountain bike tours of Nepal vary from under USD 100 for a day tour in Kathmandu Valley to USD 3,000 for the Annapurna Circuit mountain biking trip. So budget accordingly.
- Be aware of the terrain. Depending on the route, it can vary widely from the flat landscape of the Terai to steep climbs in Upper Mustang.
