Kathmandu, the bustling capital of Nepal, is often hectic, dusty, and crowded with traffic. However, our Kathmandu Valley bike tour offers a refreshing escape from the chaos, leading you into the calm and scenic heart of the valley. This cycling experience takes you through the peaceful outskirts and into charming Newari villages that have beautifully preserved their centuries-old culture and traditional way of life.
Our tours are designed to take you off the beaten path, far from the noise of the city. Many of the trails we follow are narrow, historic walkways that are not found on standard maps. These routes require not only a good sense of direction but also a deep understanding of the terrain, which is why local knowledge is essential. Riding without guidance can be risky due to the hidden nature of these trails, so we strongly recommend exploring with one of our experienced guides who are familiar with every turn and shortcut in the valley.
While the trails are exciting and scenic, they can be tricky to navigate. Learning a few key Nepali phrases can be useful when interacting with locals along the way. We also suggest carrying a map, a compass, or a GPS device if you choose to explore on your own. However, riding with a guide ensures a safer and more insightful experience.
We offer a variety of Kathmandu Valley biking trips, with options ranging from half-day explorations to multi-day adventures. Depending on the route, you’ll ride along thrilling downhill sections, scenic jeep trails, and elevated ridge tracks that offer sweeping views of the valley below. Each route provides a unique perspective on the region’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
