Trip Summary
The worlds longest downhill, ancient Monasteries, Everest Base Camp, Altitude, two mystical cities, make Lhasa to Kathmandu THE worlds most EPIC bike ride.

Description
One of the most remote regions in the world, the cycling pilgrimage from Lhasa, Tibet to Kathmadu, Nepal will, quite possibly, be a ‘life changing’ journey through time, spirits, scenery and physical demands. Our fully-supported mountain bike tour takes us across the Friendship Highway to the vast ‘Roof-Top of the World’, Everest Base Camp, the world’s longest descent, the highest high and the former home of the Dalai Lama. Starting in Lhasa at 11,300 feet, we traverse 1,000 kilometers over six panoramic passes exceeding 14,500 feet, finishing in the Kathmandu Valley where the oxygen is rich and the lands fertile. Depending upon your individual tastes and strengths, we’ll cycle 14 full days and 2 half-days averaging 55 km/day. Support vehicles are available for more or less riding. The terrain is 5% tarmac road, 95% non-technical off-road and 100% adventure! Undoubtedly, this is the EPIC BIKE JOURNEY of the world! Nothing in the Alps, nothing in the Pyrenees, nothing in the world even compares.

This expedition is for adventurous cyclists wishing to immerse themselves in the rawness of this vast plateau and the spirit of local Tibetans at a deeper level. We visit the significant monasteries giving rise to Buddhism and come to understand the deep connection between Tibetan culture, religion and the inaccessibility of their homeland. Check out our day-to-day itinerary and join us for our annual pilgrimage to a sacred land you’ll never forget.
