Day 01 Arrival in Kathmandu
You will be met at Tribhuvan International airport by our representative and taken to the hotel which is located in the heart of the tourist district of Kathmandu, Thamel (approximately a 30-minute drive).

Depending on your arrival time, there may be time to explore the streets, sights and shops of Thamel or to relax after your journey, before joining your guides for an early evening welcome meal, where they will explain more about the coming days tour and activities.

Day 02 Preparation Day
Following a relaxed breakfast at the hotel, someone from our team will come to meet you. There will then be time to check over the bikes, with our crew member on standby to assist with any mechanical issues.

The afternoon will be free for a relaxed sightseeing ride around some of the sights and cultural points of interest that Kathmandu has to offer.

An early evening group meal will leave ample time for packing, ready for the early start the following morning.

Bike bags and luggage that are not required for the tour can be left at the hotel.

Day 03 Transfer Day
Whilst you enjoy your breakfast, the luggage and bikes will be loaded onto the tour vehicle by the MTB-WW crew for the transfer to Aarughat.

The journey is approximately 122km and will take approximately 6 to 7 hours. On arrival you will check into the hotel, leaving time in the late afternoon and evening to stretch the legs and explore the town.

Day 04 Aarughat to Machha Khola: 25km Ride, 1000m Ascent
Leaving Aarughat you will start to ascend. The first 13kms are very rocky, and after this there will be some push and carry sections. As the trail ascends towards your final destination remember to take in the beauty of your surroundings! To the right you will see the Budhi Khola and to the left steep mountain sides, dotted with villages and interspersed with waterfalls.

The accommodation will now become more basic as you start getting to higher and more remote locations in the mountains.

Day 05 Machha Khola to Jagat: 25km Ride, 1050m Ascent
Upon leaving Machha Khola the trails will be approximately 80% push and carry and 20% riding. The trails are rocky with some steep climbs. The landscapes are beautiful! On both sides there are big rocky hills with the narrow Budigankdaki river flowing through.

Day 2 will be harder than the first day due to the long non-rideable sections.

Day 06 Jagat to Dyang: 25km Ride, 1100m Ascent
There will be 50% riding and 50% pushing in today’s climb to Dyang. The landscape will be similar to the previous days but with the addition of some small forest sections containing some great single track. The first 12kms after leaving Jagat will be the hardest with lots of push and carry.

After Philim the trail improves, becomes more rideable and it is an awesome track to the nearby hotel. Dyang is a very small village with few houses.

Day 07 Dyang to Namrung: 20km Ride, 1250m Ascent
Day 7’s trails are all single track with 60% riding and only 40% pushing and carrying. The views are amazing with many waterfalls. Namrung, your final destination, is a small village with views of the Lugar Himal.

DAY 08 Namrung to Samagaun: 17km Ride, 1200m Ascent
Heading towards Samagaun, the trail passes through beautiful villages with fantastic views of the Manaslu Himal. About half way there is a large monastery that is open to visitors. Arriving in Samagaun, there will be internet access again after 4 days of being technology free and the hotel is slightly less basic. Although please don’t have your hopes up for high speed!

Day 09 Samagaun to Dharamsala: 13km Ride, 1000m ascent
Leaving Samagaun, the first 4km of track is rideable, but then it’s push and carry to a place called Samdo and a well-deserved lunch stop.

After lunch there will be a total distance of 6km, which is all climbing. Most sections will be rideable, but it will become increasingly difficult due to the altitude. In fact, the final 6km could take as long as three hours!

Dharamsala is very basic and due to very limited accommodation you may have to stop in a tent.

Day 10 Dharamasala to Bhimthang via Larke Pass (5136m): 14.5km Ride
The hardest day of the whole trip! Riders will need to be on the trail at 5.00am for the ascent over Larke Pass (5136m). The route up to Larke Pass is 6.5km with 700m of climbing which can take more than 3 hours due to the effects of the high altitude.

All the effort will be worth it, as from the summit there are brilliant views of Larke Pick, Mount Manaslu, Ratna Chuli and many other mountains. After Larke Pass, there is 8km of trail with a rapid 1400m of downhill descents to Bhimthang. The first 2.5km of the descent is very steep with lots of rocks and icy sections but after this the trail become easier to ride and there will be great views of ice lakes and 7000m+ mountains.

A large percentage of the route today will be push and carry with only a few sections that are rideable. On arrival to Bhimthang the hotel is slightly more comfortable than Dharamasala and is surrounded by panorama views of towering snow-capped mountains.

Day 11 Bhimthang to Chyamche: 32km Ride, 600m Ascent
Day 11 will invariably be the longest, distance wise, of the trip. The first 8kms are very rocky and will involve mostly pushing and carrying the bikes. The trail turns into flowing, long single track through forests descending to Tilcho

After Tilcho the trail crosses a suspension bridge and turns into jeep tracks all the way to Dharapani. This is the point where the Manaslu trail joins the Annapurna Circuit route where another 12km of fast undulating track leads to Chyamche.

Day 12 Chyamche to Besi Sahar: 32km Ride, 700m Ascent
The trails to Besi Sahar will be wide jeep tracks, mainly downhill, which could be busy with other vehicles. The ride will be comparatively easy today compared with those at altitude, with all of the tracks being totally rideable.

Upon arrival in Besi Sahar the MTB-WW crew will load the luggage and bikes onto the return vehicle whilst riders enjoy a well-earned meal and cold drink. It will take approximately 6 hours to arrive in Kathmandu along the sealed but scenic main highway.

In the evening there will be a farewell dinner for all riders and crew.

You will leave Kathmandu after breakfast, starting riding straight from the hotel. A gradual 10km climb through the streets of Kathmandu takes riders up to the Shivapuri National Park.

From Shivapuri, you will hit the dirt with a 3km steep climb, followed by a 14km descent and another brutal 5km ascent in the mid-day heat.

The destination of Nuwakot hosts the idyllic location of The Famous Farm Guesthouse, regarded by some as one of the most beautiful and tranquil spots in Nepal.

Day 04 Nuwakot to Arughat – 51km Ride – 1900m Ascent
After an early breakfast you will leave for one of the hardest days of the tour!

Leaving from Nuwakot, there is a 10km sealed downhill section before you hit the dirt again. Over 50km of riding with 1900m of ascent follows, in sweltering heat and dusty conditions, this will be a test for even the toughest of riders.

Day 05 Arughat to Gorkha – 50km Ride – 1200m Ascent
Not as tough as Day 4’s trails, but still lots of dry and dusty climbing and descending. The final destination of the day is Gorkha, Nepal’s former capital, perched high on the side of the Himalayan foothills.

Day 06 Gorkha to Besi Sahar – 60km Ride – 1200m Ascent

Following breakfast, you will start the day with a 15km back track from Besi Sahar, before you start the 55km of scintilating and undulating off road trails that will bring you out at Begnas Lake in Pokhara.

A further 15km of sealed road will lead you back to the lakeside resort of Pokhara, where a luxury hotel and relaxing atmosphere awaits you.

You’ll enjoy the ultimate downhill ride with over 2000m of descent through pine and rhododendron forests which eventually gives way to semi-tropical vegetation as the air becomes more humid. Small clusters of houses cling to lonely hill tops but as you approach the Terai, you will pass through more and more villages.

The town of Hetauda (455m above sea level) lies at the bottom of the descent and you will end today’s cycling on an unforgettable high.

DAY 06 Hetauda to Chitwan
Biking Distance: 71km

Day 6 is a much flatter ride compared to the previous couple of days. You will now be in central Terai, a region of hot subtropical plains, and the surrounding vegetation reflects this.

The route diverts onto a dirt track to the outskirts of the Chitwan National Park area at Saurahaand, where you will be staying at a hotel in the park!

Chitwan National Park is the largest and most famous wilderness in Nepal and covers a pristine area with a unique ecosystem.

Biking Distance: 14km

There are 2 options today!

Option 1: Following an early nutritious breakfast, a short transfer will be made to Pokhara airport to catch a scenic morning flight to Jomsom, which takes approximately 20-minutes. The flight takes you above the Pokhara valley and deep into the heart of the Himalayas. This is where you can get your first real glimpses of the mighty Himalaya mountain ranges, including the breathtaking mountain views of Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna. Please bear in mind that these flights are weather dependent and can sometimes be delayed or cancelled at the last minute. Once you have landed in Jomsom, there will be time to get kitted up and have a hot drink before the ensuing ride. The riding will be an easy 14km on mainly flat terrain to allow your body to adapt to the increase in altitude. The night’s accommodation will be at the beautiful Tibetan village of Kagbeni.

Option 2: A nice and early start, and straight onto the jeep for the 8-hour transfer to Kagbeni. You’ll start on sealed road, but this will soon turn into bumpy jeep-track and you’ll start to get a glimpse of what riding in the Himalayas is all about! Imagine deep valley gorges, snow-capped mountains & river passes. You will get to stop off for lunch and enjoy the spectacular scenery whilst taking in the stunning views around you, before finally reaching your destination of the day – Kagbeni.

Day 04 Kagbeni to Muktinath via Jhong
Biking Distance: 18km

Upon leaving Kagbeni, there will be an uphill ride to Muktinath which is at an elevation of 3900m.

The route continues, by climbing the trail to the north side of the gorge and on a dusty jeep track, which heads towards the mighty Thorong La Pass via the village of Jhong. In Jhong, you can stop to catch your breath whilst explore the ancient monastery and then have lunch basking in the sunshine whilst enjoying the stunning mountain views.

The final section after lunch will be short and you should arrive in Muktinath around mid-afternoon. You can spend this time to explore the local village including monasteries and temples with your guide, or simply have some time to rest.

Day 05 Muktinath to Marpha
Biking Distance: 26km

An early breakfast and start will be needed for Day 5, due to the high winds in the valley that start to pick up around 11.00am. They can make the ride very tough! The day starts with a slow ascent to Lupra Pass, where you will get to see the breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna ranges.

Once you get to the top of the pass, you will ride a fast stretch of downhill until you reach the river valley, from where there is a 6km flat section leading to Jomsom.

After lunch in Jomsom, the trail undulates along the river until you reach Marpha. For the more experienced and technical riders there are some alternative beautiful, fun and technical single-track options to take.

Marpha is famous for growing apples and making apple brandy and cider, so be sure to sample some local produce in the evening!

Day 06 Marpha to Tatopani
Biking Distance: 42km

The trail from Marpha is mostly downhill to Tatopani. The trail starts gentle and flat through pine forests and small villages, where you will follow the river, and on a clear day, see stunning views of the snowcapped peaks. The lunch stop will be at the flowing waterfalls at Rukse Chaahara.

With lunch finished, you will continue to ride fast-paced downhill as the trail drops approximately 1000 meters on rough jeep track before you finally reach Tatopani. Tatopani is a cobbled street village, famous for its rejuvenating hot springs at which you can enjoy a well-deserved soak to ease any tired muscles.

Day 07 Tatopani to Beni onwards to Pokhara
Biking Distance: 23km or 100km

Day 7 will be the final guided ride, taking you on jeep tracks which are predominantly flat but have a few ‘Nepali flat’ sections of up and down to remind you that you are still in the Himalayas! The final destination is Beni where the guides will load the bikes up, and you will transfer by jeep back to Pokhara for a well-earned rest and perhaps a beer or 2!

For those who want to continue the journey to Pokhara by bike, rather than the bumpy jeep ride, there is an option to ride all the way to Pokhara from Tatopani, which will mean an extra 77km of riding.

Day 08 Pokhara to Kathmandu transfer
After breakfast you will return to Kathmandu via a 25-minute short plane journey or 8 hours return on the bus.

Once back in Kathmandu, there will be time in the afternoon for some trinket shopping or to explore some of the many temples and places of interest in the city.

After a nutritious breakfast, you will head out on a 7km ride along lakeside to the first of our off-road loops, Fewa Lake. The total off road riding is 40km with 1400m of climbing and the trails will be steep and challenging. There are, however, a number of points where you can cut the ride short and return to Pokhara should there be any tired legs.

Day 3’s trails climb and criss-cross the mountains that surround the prominent Peace Stupa, after which you will descend on some awesome single-track back down to the lakeside followed by a 7km relaxed cool down ride back to the hotel.

The afternoon and evening are free to stretch out, relax and explore the Lakeside town of Pokhara and its many delicious local and continental eateries.

Day 04 Kristi Hill: 62km Ride, 1800m Ascent
The same routine as yesterday but you’ll be heading out to Kristi Hill. A 6km ride to the trail head where another 50km of scintillating off road trails await. Again, don’t worry if you’re not up for the full 50km, there are plenty of escape routes!

The trail today is 2 loops with the second loop being much tougher than the first, with some really steep climbs rewarded with awesome views across to the snowcapped mountains.

Day 05 Begnas Lake loop: 75km Ride, 1800m Ascent
You know the score by now! Today’s ride to the start of the trails is the longest of the lot at 15km but you will be rewarded with panoramic views of Begnas lake as you ride the 45km of off-road awesomeness. As always there are many short cuts for those that want a more leisurely ride.

The course starts from the beautiful Begnas lake and climbs up to Kalika top before descending via a different route back down to Begnas and a loop around Rupa lake on undulating trails.

Day 06 Bat Cave Loop: 67km Ride, 1600m Ascent
The last day of riding but no need to take your foot off the gas if you don’t want to!

Our guides are happy to go as fast or as slow as you like and can accommodate those wanting a total workout or those who’d rather take in the stunning views.

Either way, even with the full 47km off-road loop there should still be time today to explore the bat caves before heading on a 10km ride back to the hotel.
