## About

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel. Meet the support team for a bike fitting session and enjoy a short test ride around the Kathmandu Valley to ensure everything is perfectly set for the adventure ahead. The evening is free to relax or explore the vibrant surroundings.

Begin with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar, covering approximately 175 km. The drive takes you through winding highways, riverside views, and lush hills. Most riders transport their bikes by vehicle to conserve energy for the demanding off-road sections ahead. Upon arrival, relax and prepare for the real biking adventure starting the next day.

This is the most challenging and rewarding day of the tour. The route follows a rugged off-road trail along the Marshyangdi River, gradually ascending into the high Himalayas. Covering approximately 99 km, the ride demands endurance and determination due to the steep elevation gain. Riders may choose partial jeep support (such as up to Chame) to manage the intensity. As you approach Manang, the landscape transforms dramatically into alpine terrain with breathtaking mountain views.

A crucial acclimatization day in Manang allows your body to adjust to the altitude while enjoying the stunning surroundings. Take a short ride to Gangapurna Lake or visit the nearby village of Khangsar, both offering spectacular views of Tilicho Peak. The day also includes opportunities to explore local monasteries and experience the unique Tibetan-influenced Manangi culture. This relaxed day balances adventure with cultural immersion.

Begin with a long and exciting descent from Manang back towards Besisahar, offering a thrilling downhill riding experience. From there, continue towards Bandipur, either by ride or vehicle. Bandipur, a beautifully preserved Newari hilltop town, welcomes you with panoramic views of the Annapurna range and a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxation after an intense journey.

On the final riding day, travel back to Kathmandu via the Prithvi Highway. This stretch offers smooth roads, scenic river valleys, and rolling hills, making for an enjoyable and reflective end to the biking experience. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, unwind and celebrate the successful completion of your Himalayan adventure.

Your journey concludes with a transfer to the airport for your onward flight. Depending on your schedule, you may enjoy some last-minute shopping or a short stroll around the city before departure.
