This has to be one of the best cycle trips I’ve done. It’s a very well put together trip that gives you a full flavour of the country of Nepal. It was 20 years since I last visited Nepal and I’d always wanted to go back and it sure was worth the wait to experience this amazing trip.
The scenery was fabulous, taking in rural life in the Kathmandu valley then climbing over a number of passes with great views then after a superb flight to Jomsom on to the grand finale of the wilds of Mustang. Every day just got better and better. The cycling was rough and tough in places with a number of challenging climbs but some great downhills too.
Don’t expect much tarmac, the roads are rough but if you enjoy mountain biking it’s a fabulous cycle from start to finish. I’m not an experienced mountain biker and I found it tough in places it’s very doable – all you need is a good level of fitness and a ‘can do’ attitude. Ox our Guide was a top class guide who went out of his way to ensure that the trip fulfilled everyone’s expectations. He and his team were very efficient at getting things organised and he gave us all a great insight into Nepalese life and its cultures. This greatly added to the experience of the trip. The accommodation overall was much better than I expected.
If you’re thinking of doing this trip – don’t think any longer – JUST DO IT – IT’S AMAZING. Thank you Nepal & Bikingfirst Nepal- you delivered!
