Mountain Biking
in the shade of the Himalayan range.
Nepal offers a great diversity of terrain with a varied
climate from the pleasant scenic rides of the tropical
plains of Terai to the subtropical valleys of the middle
mountains, to the more challenging Trans Himalayan zones
that lie in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. About
48% of Nepal's population lives in the middle mountains,
which includes the broad shallow basin of the Kathmandu
Valley. The inhabitant's form a diversity of ethnic
groups, a blend of the Indo-Aryan and the Tibeto-Burman
races. The only flatlands in Nepal run from the east
to west and lie in a narrow strip of the southern Terai.Nepal
is the world's number one adventure playground for mountain
bikers. From the flatlands of the Terai to the terraced
hillside farms, the vertical landscape soars towards
the snow clad peaks of the Himalayas, inviting you to
share the adventure of this awesome landscape. The tropical
lush vegetation is a rich contrast against the stark,
arctic regions where winds have swept, sculpting amazing
forms on arid valleys of the Tibetan plateau. Discover
yourself in one of the world's greatest wonders by joining
us on an exhilarating and memorable biking adventure
in the Himalayas. Mountain biking is a tremendous way
to see the exotic sights of our kingdom such as the
ancient routes of Trans-Himalayan Traders and the rural
village life of Nepal. Here you will enjoy the timeless
culture and rich flora and fauna of our heritage as
you explore such wonders as the Kathmandu Valley, the
monuments or the temple complexes. Alternatively peddle
at your own pace along some of the hidden trails to
the rarely visited rural villages where you will see
the warm smiles of locals living the preserved, traditional
and simple life (on the verge of poverty, long forgotten
in the post industrial cultures of the world), that
is the style of Nepal.
