This 200km, 14 day trail takes us on a fantastic off road route linking the 2 major cities in Nepal, Pokhara and Kathmandu..
Following your arrival in Kathmandu, we limber up for our journey by taking a short tour of the medieval city of Kathmandu before flying out to Pokhara. Situated by the beautiful Phewa lake, Pokhara affords some of the most stunning views of the Annapurnas and Machhapuchre - Fish Tail Peak. Another day trip around the area will ensure that everything is in order before we set off back to Kathmandu.
Less than 30 miles of this ride is on tarmaced highway, so prepare yourself for what has been described as ...the best off-road riding in the Himalayas. Tracing an assortment of broad foot paths, old jeep trails and some technical single tracks we make our way across remote territory that's seldom visited by westerners. Challenging ascents as well as some incredible descents combine to make this off-road biking a Great Mountain Biker's dream.
A support vehicle carrying all of our tents and equipment, will follow us as closely as possible. One glance at the picture above and you'll get the idea - they will not always be righ on our tail.
