Come with us to Nepal for the cycle ride of your lifetime, following an ancient passageway to India on this exhilarating exploration of the Himalayan wonderland.

After a day in cosmopolitan Kathmandu to prepare for your adventure, we let you settle into your saddle with an easy but exciting ride through delightful rural valley villages, experiencing their colourful local culture and the dramatic mountainous backdrops. After that, you'd better hold on tight to your handlebars - your second day on the bike starts off with a thrilling downhill ride from the hilltop lookout of Daman, which drops down by 1500m altitude along 80 simply thrilling kilometers, twisting and turning through a river valley that gives you an enthralling view of the Himalayas on a clear day.

Once you're down onto the southern Terai plains, you'll be charmed by the timeless village vibe and you'll get roared at by wildlife at Chitwan National Park. As we peddle forward on our route through the Pokhara valley to the Annapurna Himalaya, you'll get to explore a treasure trove of truly tantalising historic landmarks and landscapes, many of which are off beaten tourist tracks and hidden from most western eyes.

The beauty of this trip - aside from the enchanting cultural experiences and sublime mountain scenery - is that it's not all about the bike. Along the way you'll do a jungle safari, a dug-out canoe ride on the Rati River, some boating on the Phewa Lake and a hike along the famous Royal Trek.

This challenging - but not impossibly hard - ride is fully vehicle supported, so you can choose how much you want to ride each day. Then, at the end of each day's adventure, you can rest your legs and enjoy the creature comforts of superb accommodation that we've carefully chosen for character and location.
