WE
offer a challenging and pleasant scenic
ride from the tropical plains of terai,
mid-hills, mountainous terrain and its
lush valleys to the arctic climate of
the high alpine region. The only way to
discover these hidden treasures and its
warm ever-smiling people is on mountain
bikes. Mountain biking is a great fun
and a perfect way to discover Nepal's
great diverse landscape, of tremendous
terrain, tracks and trails. Where
mountain bike takes you away from the
hustle bustle of the city-town life into
serene country life, on a hidden trail
rarely visited area of local villages,
its traditional rural life style that
has preserved for centuries.
It was in the mid-1980s that biking
activity really took off in Kathmandu.
Enthusiasts flew with their bikes from
Hong Kong to Tibet to answer the call of
the wild steppes. The two-week journey
from there over the passes (17,000 ft)
to Nepal is what sparked it all off.
Even today Kathmandu is a mecca for
mountain bicyclists, as it draws
thousands of enthusiasts from all
corners of the world.
