Kathmandu Valley Rim Tour |
Country: Nepal |
Description |
This unique 10-day trip is a perfect
blend stunning rural trails of the Kathmandu Valley.
It combines mountain biking in valley rim and Tibet
border, with explorations of the valley crest of Kathmandu.
This ride is a north to south traverse, and each of
the passes rewards us with magnificent panoramas that
stretch from Annapurna, Makalu, to Everest. Throughout
the tour, friendly people with bright smiles will enliven
your journey. This area is certainly less frequented
and unspoiled, with very few westerners passing through
-let alone mountain bikers. Spectacular rides,
which range from the awesome to the adventurous with
thrilling descents and challenging climbs. |
