Thats Everest dead ahead

As a mountain bike tour operator in Ne[/PI]pal it’s very hard these days to meet the needs of the ever changing market, we have to make perspective clients understand that’s this is not a “Bike Park Holiday” that the trails and conditions are raw, un-manicured and hard to get to, that accommodation is simple and food is basic.

But it's real, real adventure, real challenges, real life accommodation and real wholesome and simple food … People live here, people survive here every day. It’s our job to take you there, make it safe, and make it comfortable and to make it an experience of a life time. One area that defines this raw notion of mountain biking in Nepal is Solu Khumbu, a name that evokes images of mount Everest, climbing and Sherpa's ... but we are taking about the lower region, the rolling Himalayan Foothills, this little explored area is perfect for an off the beaten track epic mountain biking adventure.

Everest Enduro is raw, authentic and its fun! It’s a journey into Solu (Lower Everest) region and into the heart land of the Sherpa people. The area is rife with single track, dense jungle, community forest trails and open Yak Pastures, making it an awesome place for mountain biking. Not only that, here you will find what many seek - solitude, simplistic living and pristine wilderness. This is an extraordinary biking journey not to be missed, one that is light years away from any bike park you have ever ridden in.

But it’s not an easy one, epic descents come with epic assents, so while we can offer some jeep and porter assistance, be prepared to hike a bike a bit and also hone your technical skills as it’s no fun if you have to walk the downs as well as the ups! The natural trails will challenge your whit and skill, pushing the boundaries of you and your bike.

It is also a journey into the heart and soul of a culture. The Himalayan Foothill lifestyle of the Sherpa people, traverse through farmland, community forests and dense virgin jungles. Stay in the simple, comfortable and homely houses of the Sherpa's, enjoy mouthwatering local food and drinks. Feel your body and soul letting go of the stresses of our hectic, web controlled lives.

This is one of the best, newly discovered mountain bike trails and single tracks in Nepal and we cannot wait to share the Sherpa Trail with you.
