Mountain Biking in Tibet (Lhasa - Kathmandu)

The most challenging biking tour in the world, this epic mountain biking adventure across 'The Roof of the World' covers a distance over 1,100 kilometers from the Tibetan capital Lhasa to Kathmandu, the heart of Nepal, crossing six high passes over 5000 meters. To make this trip even more adventurous, we have incorporated a four-days round trip away from the main Lhasa - Kathmandu road, to visit Rongbuk Monastery and the north base camp of Mt. Everest. Another brilliant part of this trip is the mind-blowing descent of 4,600 meters from the 5,050 metre high Thang La pass. We call it the world's longest downhill The trip is supported by a Nepalese camping crew, a mountain bike guide and a professional local Tibetan guide. The entire journey will be supported by a 4WD Toyota Land Cruiser and a support truck.
