Kathmandu Valley Mountain Biking Adventure
Trade the trekking trail for two wheels. This full-day mountain biking tour takes you out of Thamel's traffic and onto the back roads, forest trails, and hilltop viewpoints of the Kathmandu Valley. Ride through Sherpa and Tamang villages, past terraced paddy fields, and up to ridge viewpoints with Himalayan panoramas. A perfect legs-warm-up before your trek, or a rewarding wind-down on your return. All levels welcome — route difficulty adjusted to your comfort.
