I have worked as a professional mountain bike guide in Nepal for over eight years and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that there are few adventures greater (and more challenging) than high altitude riding. With its narrow trails, long uphill climbs, wide open valleys, river crossings, and neverending descents, Nepal is the ultimate destination for any mountain biker. But it is not just the riding that makes Nepal unforgettable, it is the warmth and hospitality of the local people, the breathtaking views, and the incredible cultures that will quickly make you addicted to this tremendous country.
Last October, I had the chance to lead a group of Swiss mountain bikers on one of the world’s most exhilarating high mountain tours through the Annapurna Region of Nepal. Check out the photos below to get a glimpse of what a tour like this has to offer.
