Tibet » Central Tibet Trips » Lhasa - EBC - Kathmandu Mountain Biking Tour - 21 Days
An epic ride across 'the forbidden land’, taking in the fascinating cities of Kathmandu and Lhasa, the north face of Everest, fivelhasa ebc ktm
5000m+ passes, and an unrivalled 4000m descent into Nepal!
Tibet, protected by the great Himalayan chain in the south and west, and even more inhospitable mountains to the north and east, has haunted the ambition of explorers for centuries. The allure is as high as the altitude, and the very remoteness, inaccessibility and mystery are enough to attract the serious traveller. For the adventurous cyclist this land of rugged beauty, vast landscapes, brilliant skies and glittering peaks offers one of the ultimate biking challenges.
After some time acclimatising around Kathmandu and Lhasa, our route takes us across high altitude desert, over awesome mountain passes, stopping off at Rongbuk monastery and base camp for the north face of Everest, before making the 160km 4600m descent into Nepal and the lush Kathmandu Valley. A tough trip, but for those cyclists who venture to the spectacular beauty of Tibet, the sense of achievement will always be with them
