Get Adventurous Experience with Biking & Cycling in Nepal


" On a bicycle I am exposed to all local experiences as no other modern traveller can hope to be. Moving quietly along at gentle speeds allows me to see, hear, and smell ... I can stop wherever and whenever I want to... I am able to respond to the greetings of workers in the fields, passers-by, and friendly villagers. "

Mountain biking is a fantastic way to explore Nepal. The allow you to travel independently and stop where ever you want. You do not have to tortuous buses. You can explore secluded places and reach places that can not be visited any other way.
