Pokhara Kathmandu Epic Ride - 15 Days
Trip Overview
Nepal has become recognized as one of the greatest mountain biking destinations in the world, and this superb two-week cross-country route is an acknowledged classic, which links together a maze of remote village paths between Pokhara and Kathmandu. If fast cross-country routes are your delight and you enjoy testing yourself on single track, this is the ideal mountain biking choice. Altitude does not normally pose a problem as the biking is mainly around 2000 metres, but as over 7 kilometres of ascent and descent accumulate within the distance, previous off-road experience is necessary. After a flight to Pokhara from Kathmandu, a couple of days are spent exploring the area's single track routes, including the Kali Horseshoe with its stunning views of the Annapurna Massif, and the picturesque Machhapuchhare (Fishtail). After that the route heads eastwards, via the valleys of the Trisuli and Marshyangdi rivers and the famous ridge-top town of Gorkha, and forges on to complete a testing, mile-high climb to the Kathmandu valley rim. Such effort is more than rewarded by the incredible panorama of Himalayan peaks spread out below Kakani. The culmination of this superb expedition is an exhilarating downhill descent on the 'Kathmandu Race Route', bringing to an end the ultimate Nepalese XC bike ride.
