Tibet Mountain Biking 22 Days -
Tibet
This 22 day mountain biking tour from Lhasa to Kathmandu via Everest Base Camp is one of most adventurous rides a mountain biker can do. It is a real classic and to make your biking trip even more adventurous, even longer and even more challenging, we have decided to in-corporate a four day round trip away from the main Lhasa - Kathmandu road, to visit Rongbuk Monastery and the North base camp area of Mt. Everest
Throughout the ride, your state of the art bicycles will be a source of great interest. As the locals will not have seen anything more sophisticated than their basic Chinese-made boneshakers, there are great opportunities to share laughs with the local people!
There are six major passes to be negotiated on the main Lhasa to Kathmandu route as it runs westwards, parallel to the Great Himalaya Chain, which forms the border with the territories of Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal. Throughout, the road traverses a high and dry plateau-land, which is punctuated by the spectacular monastery towns of Gyantse, Shigatse and Shegar, as well as several smaller settlements and nomadic Drogpa encampments.
