Upon arrival in Kathmandu, we’ll transfer you directly from the airport to Hotel Timila. The afternoon is dedicated to assembling and fine-tuning your bike, followed by your choice of cultural sightseeing or a relaxing yoga session to unwind before hitting the trails.
Begin your riding journey with a customizable warm-up loop around the Kathmandu Valley, covering 30–50 km with up to 1,000 meters of elevation gain. This scenic ride winds through vibrant rice fields and historic old towns, offering a spectacular introduction to the local terrain. Cap off the day with evening sightseeing or yoga before spending another night at Hotel Timila.
We’ll travel by van toward Manakamana (1,300 meters), a historic hilltop pilgrimage site home to a famous wish-fulfilling goddess temple. You can choose to save your legs by taking the iconic cable car to the top or tackle the steep climb by pedaling. From the summit, you'll drop into an absolute highlight of the trip: a thrilling, mega-downhill descent. Once at the bottom, a scenic 2-hour van transfer brings us straight to the lakeside city of Pokhara.
Saddle up for an epic loop through the heart of the Pokhara Valley. We’ll kick off the day pedaling through lush, terraced rice fields before tackling a rewarding 600-meter ascent. Your effort pays off at the summit with a jaw-dropping, panoramic viewpoint of the entire Himalayan range. After soaking in the majestic peaks, get ready for the ultimate reward: a thrilling, flowy downhill descent carving straight through dense tropical forest.
Catch a scenic morning flight to Jomsom to officially kick off the big mountain adventure. From the airstrip, enjoy a relaxed 15 km acclimatization ride to the ancient town of Kagbeni (2,800m).

We kick off the morning with a steady 3-to-4-hour grind up to the sacred town of Muktinath (3,500m), where we’ll refuel with a well-earned lunch. But the climbing isn't over yet—we push higher into the thin air to reach a spectacular 4,200m summit. From the top, it’s a mountain biker's dream: pure, wide-open Himalayan freeride. You'll carve an unforgettable, sweeping downhill all the way into the stunning Lupra Valley before we roll into the ancient village of Kagbeni for the night.

The biggest challenge of the trip takes you into thin air.

Today, we have two different options for our ride:
Option 1: We tackle a long climb to a newly discovered 4,600m peak sitting right beneath Mount Dhaulagiri. The view from the top is spectacular, but the real highlight is the descent-a sandy surface that gives you the thrill of "surfing" down the Himalayas! Afterward, we will follow the Kali Gandaki River to Kalopani, dropping into a pine forest along the way to play on some incredibly fun single-tracks. (Distance: 35 km | Elevation Gain: 2,500m)
Option 2: For an easier day, we can skip the massive climb and follow the Kali Gandaki River directly to Kalopani, enjoying a relaxed ride on those same lovely pine forest single-tracks.
Leaving Kalopani, we’ll start our climb up to Numsang, a sweeping high-altitude plateau home to grazing yaks. We'll take a well-earned break right in front of the towering Mount Dhaulagiri to soak in the views before dropping into a fantastic downhill section. To cap off the day, we’ll ride out to explore a more rugged area closer to the mountain, discovering two beautiful, hidden alpine lakes.(Distance: 35 km | Elevation Gain: 700m)
For our final day in the mountains, we are heading down, way down. The first two to three hours are a spectacular, sustained descent featuring a perfect mix of chunky technical sections and fast, flowy trails. After that adrenaline rush, the route mellows out into a gentle two-hour ride taking us all the way down to Beni. Our van will be waiting there to load up the bikes, and we will take a 2-3 hour scenic drive back to civilization. We'll spend the night celebrating the end of an epic ride in Pokhara.
