The Lhasa to Kathmandu ride via Everest Base Camp could be classed as one of the most challenging and once in a lifetime rides open to bikers. This is for many reasons given the factors of altitude, distance, weather, road conditions and life style change.

We start from the Gongar International Airport near the Tibetan capital, and cross 6 high passes, before eventually descending from the Tibetan Plateau into Nepal 70% of our time though is spent on the Tibetan Plateau at heights above 4000 metres. The main road has been well built by the Chinese, with approximately 95% of it sealed (black-top).Cycling on the main Lhasa to Kathmandu road will be fairly straightforward, apart from the altitude. Exploring various side valleys such as the route to Everest Base Camp will involve cycling on all paved road. Daily distances cycled will range from 60 to 130 kilometres. This may not sound particularly great, especially to road-orientated cyclists, but the high altitude, difficult terrain, head winds and tough ascents will make cycling in this region a challenge for everyone. Of course the time should be taken to embrace the sights, people and culture as it is totally unique occasion…. So no need to rush!

Sustainable riding is what this trip is about and this can make the trip demanding in itself, as such you will need to be reasonably fit and put in some training. Throughout the route we have the support of a back-up vehicle, and anyone who is not feeling up to cycling a particular stage has the option to get in the jeep. On the main route the cycling is simple with no technical difficulties but longer ride.
