The tour is planned to give a balanced itinerary with time in Kathmandu (on arrival to complete permits for Upper Mustang.) & Pokhara whilst our focus is going deep into the Annapurna Himalaya’s.

The trip into Upper Mustang provides a rare and most unlikely travel plan into this region with a flight into Jomsom (the heart of the Annapurna’s as we fly across the sacred unclimbed mastiff of Machhapuchare) being accommodated in local Tea Houses all the way and acquiring a special permit to bike through to the northern most border of Tibet & within kilometers of the source of the Kali Gandaki River (start of the deepest Gorge in the World). We finish with a 3-day descent on the eastern half of the Annapurna trekking trail.

We’ll ride to the eastern fringe of Upper Mustang at Lun Gompa and return to Dhi as a day tour. Additional trail riding has been planned within the Jomsom area (as time allows) that have been surveyed & off the map for tours, offering exceptional views and mountain biking whilst we acclimatizing to the region and altitude.

Our lodgings will be local guest houses of very modest and traditional means with the best facilities available in such a remote barren region. We will travel light and be met at strategic points with gear.

Open to only a select few groups of adventurers per year, the Kingdom of Mustang, formally known as the Kingdom of Lo, is the last true Tibetan Kingdom. A small outpost of Nepal, a region previously locked off from the rest of the world until 1992. A privileged minority have had the opportunity to experience this precious and still preserved gem wrapped within the Annapurna Himalaya’s and perched on the Tibetan plateau border with Nepal.

We will bike through whitewashed villages and crumbling remote hermitages scattered across a semi- arid desert. Explore monasteries clinging to the edge of rocky shelves and surrounded by mighty snow- capped peaks and grapple with the contrasts of the charm and the warmth of the people, beauty of its scenery and mountain life as we take the best option (by bike) and at a pace that allows so much more two be seen in the time.

When talking mountain biking and the Himalayas this is not to confuse endless steep gut busting climbs that only the elite riders could ever manage. No! this is a carefully prepared itinerary by the owner of Himalayan Mountain Bike and pioneer of mountain biking in Nepal since 1988! Trails have been chosen that are ridable but challenging when you add an environment above 3,000 m altitude. Few have visited Mustang and even fewer have been permitted to place tyres on this rare earth. This will be Epic and a rare moment amidst fast tracked changes being ever closer to a hidden region.
