Nepal Heritage by Bicycle
When you think of cycling in Nepal, extreme mountain biking on the rugged slopes of the Himalayas probably comes to mind. While there's no shortage of that, this tour invites you to explore a wider range of Nepal’s landscapes and cultures, all while keeping the cycling pace and terrain at a moderate level. From the temperate highlands around Kathmandu to the lush, subtropical plains of the Terai region, and from the sacred birthplace of Lord Buddha at Lumbini to the mountain lakes of Pokhara, this 10-day bike tour takes you deep into the heart of Nepal’s rich heritage.
Meeting in the capital of Kathmandu, the first stage of the tour takes us south through the Himalayan foothills, passing pine forests, Nepali villages, and terraced agricultural fields. We enjoy views of snow-capped peaks, hike to a Hindu temple nestled in the woods, and whizz down a winding road to reach the Terai Plains. Following the rice-field-covered banks of the braided Rapti River, we reach the edge of Chitwan National Park, renowned for its subtropical jungles teeming with wildlife. A canoe ride into the park offers a chance to spot rhinos and crocodiles. We then drive west to explore the Sacred Garden of Lumbini, the cradle of Buddhism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The final stage takes us back into the foothills, where we spend a night in Tansen, a charming hill station, before riding along wild gorges to reach the lakeside city of Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna Range. On the last day, we hike and bike around picturesque Begnas Lake before the tour ends in Pokhara, leaving you the option to continue with trekking or return to Kathmandu by flight.
Join us in discovering Nepal’s rich cultural, spiritual, and natural heritage by bicycle!
