Kathmandu makes a natural starting point for a mountain biking holiday. The city sits in a valley at about 1,345m, and the programmes on this page use it as the base for riding out into the hills of the Kathmandu Valley and beyond. There are two to choose from, and they differ quite a bit in length and reach.
The Mountain Bike Fitness Week in the Kathmandu Valley Hills runs for six days. Day one is simply arrival: you're met at Kathmandu airport and taken to your hotel. The next morning begins with a briefing, where you're fitted to your bike and helmet and go over the route and safety basics before riding north out of the city. It's priced from 490 USD.
The Himalayan Mountain Bike Adventure is a 12-day trip covering both the Kathmandu Valley and Lower Mustang. It starts at Hotel Ambassador in Kathmandu, and from there you're driven an hour and a half east to Nagarkot, a ridgetop village at 2,000m, where you're welcomed with a Sherpa beer and a view across the valley. You build your bike, meet the support crew and settle in before the riding begins. It's priced from 3195 GBP.
If you have a week and want focused riding in the valley hills, the shorter programme is the natural fit. If you'd rather take a longer trip that carries on beyond the valley into Lower Mustang, with a support crew alongside you, the 12-day adventure gives you more time in the saddle and more ground to cover.
The two programmes on this page are priced from 490 USD for the six-day Mountain Bike Fitness Week to 3195 GBP for the 12-day Himalayan Mountain Bike Adventure. Note that the two are listed in different currencies.
You can choose between six days and 12 days. The six-day week focuses on the hills of the Kathmandu Valley, while the 12-day trip covers both the Kathmandu Valley and Lower Mustang.
Both programmes start in Kathmandu, Nepal. The six-day week rides north out of the city into the Kathmandu Valley hills. The 12-day adventure begins with a transfer to Nagarkot, a ridgetop village east of Kathmandu, and goes on to include Lower Mustang.
On the six-day programme, day one is arrival: you're met at Kathmandu airport and taken to your hotel, with a briefing the following morning. The 12-day trip starts at Hotel Ambassador in Kathmandu, followed by a 1.5-hour drive east to Nagarkot.
This varies by programme. The six-day week includes an airport pickup, a transfer to your hotel and a pre-trip briefing where you're fitted to your bike and helmet and go over the route and safety basics. The 12-day adventure includes the transfer from Kathmandu to Nagarkot and a support crew for the trip.
Kathmandu sits at about 1,345m. On the 12-day programme, your first stop is Nagarkot, a ridgetop village at 2,000m.
