Tibet-Lhasa Kathmandu Mountain Biking - 24 Days Tour code: TLKMB-TB-001
With our Mountain biking programs in Tibet, Adventure Silk Road is giving you mountain bikers a chance to get an experience of a lifetime. We offer a range of trips on mountain bike in Tibet, right from what has become the "classic ride", Lhasa to Kathmandu to more exceptional features like "the world's longest downhill". The Lhasa to Kathmandu ride has become a big thing lately, with quite a few people heading to Tibet every year to test themselves on this route across the Tibetan plateau.
Mountain biking in Tibet however is not something for everyone; this is true adventure, which requires dedication and lots of preparation. All the preparation pays off when you are riding above 4000 meters with some of the most beautiful imaginable scenery around you, climbing towards a 5000 meter pass on your bike and the moment you reach the top is something you will remember all your life.
Now is the time to witness at first hand the mystery of Tibet - as modern life begins to encroach on this once forbidden land. Biking starts from serene Lhasa, with its wide streets, encircling mountains and sense of living religion manifestly woven into everyday life through centuries of devotion. We ride through picturesque valleys and camp wherever scenic locations and access to water happily coincide. This is not technical biking, but the trip demands a high level of fitness if you want to ride the whole route - something very few other companies offer. The rewards are incomparable views of Everest and the Nepal Himalaya. The endless descent into verdant Nepal offers an incredible contrast to the arid Tibetan Plateau. If you've got the legs we've got the trip – it won't disappoint!
