Mountain bike the famous Annapurna Circuit for a one-in-a-lifetime challenging and scenic ride! Looking for an incredible adventure and something beyond the same old trekking? We have designed this two-week mountain biking package in the Himalayas.
The Annapurna region earns its popularity from stunning mountain terrain, lush valleys, glaciers, lakes and overall incredible scenic beauty, along with a prominent culture and traditional lifestyle in this high alpine region. A biking tour is the best way to discover these hidden treasures and diverse landscapes of the Annapurna.
The trail starts right from Besisahar and follows river Marshyandi to its source, catching the enchanting mountain views of Mount Manasalu and Himal Chuli to the east. En route, cycle by mountain villages inhabited by a wide diversity of local people. Extending the breathtaking scenery to its side, the trail continues to the north of the main Himalayas range to the height and dry Tibetan plateau. Biking via the Thorang La pass, you will pierce from Manang—one rain shadow valley— into another valley --Mustang.
The trip includes a visit to Kathmandu and Pokhara, including a sightseeing trip in the Kathmandu Valley.
PRIVATE TOUR: Prepare for an unforgettable journey that begins in the heart of Kathmandu and carries you to the vibrant city of Pokhara. Nestled amidst serene lakes and cradled by the towering Himalayas, Pokhara invites you to explore the enchanting World Peace Stupa, partake in a boat ride on Phewa Lake, engage with Tibetan refugees at Tashiling Tibetan Refugee Camp, and experience the daily rituals of monks at Jangchub Choeling Monastery. Your adventure comes full circle as you return to Kathmandu, leaving you with cherished memories of Nepal's natural wonders.
This seven-day, guided tour takes you to some of the most important places in and around the Kathmandu Valley, giving you the chance to learn more about its culture and history. Be part of this trip and explore the three durbar squares in the valley as well as destinations like Panauti, Nagarkot and Chandragiri.
Although Nepal is known all over the world for its mountains and is home to some of the highest peaks on the planet, this country is equally rich in culture and history. The people in and around Kathmandu follow rituals that blend elements of both Hinduism and Buddhism, something that you will realize as you tick off the temples and stupas located in and around the city.
Also included in the itinerary are Nagarkot and Chandragiri, two towering hills located on either side of the valley that offer gorgeous sunrise and sunset views along with a panoramic mountain scenery.
This 12-day adventure immerses you in the vibrant cultures and stunning landscapes of Nepal and Bhutan. Your journey begins in Kathmandu, where you'll explore the bustling streets of Thamel by rickshaw, wander through the historic Durbar Square, and marvel at the ancient Swayambhunath Stupa, affectionately known as the "monkey temple". From there, you'll take a breathtaking flight over the Himalayas to the mystical kingdom of Bhutan.
In Bhutan, you'll delve into centuries-old traditions and explore majestic fortresses known as dzongs. You'll witness the art of incense making, hike to sacred temples nestled in breathtaking valleys, and even experience the unique hospitality of a Bhutanese homestay. A highlight of your trip will be the challenging but rewarding hike to Taktsang Monastery, the iconic Tiger's Nest clinging to a sheer cliff face. This journey offers a unique blend of cultural immersion, natural beauty, and spiritual exploration.
Returning to Nepal, you'll witness a spectacular sunrise over the Himalayas from Nagarkot, a picturesque village in the Kathmandu Valley. You'll then delve into the ancient city of Bhaktapur, with its well-preserved temples and traditional crafts, and even try your hand at pottery. The tour culminates with visits to significant religious sites in Kathmandu – the Hindu temple of Pasupatinath and the Buddhist Boudhanath stupa – offering a glimpse into the spiritual heart of Nepal. This itinerary promises an unforgettable experience filled with vibrant colors, ancient traditions, and breathtaking scenery.
