Description: This almost inaccessible regions of the western Himalaya is the scene for one of cycling's epic journeys, crossing six spectacular mountain passes, including the two highest in the world! The scenery changes from barren lunar landscapes with hanging glaciers to verdant deodar forests and flower-filled valleys. We see monasteries majestically perched on high spurs, and enjoy the tranquillity of a genuinely untouched land. 10,000m of descent, optional hill climbs, a support vehicle, guides and cook make this a unique cycling experience.

Strengths: -An fantastic itinery, packed with all you could want from a bike holiday. Culture, awesome scenery, great riding and good food and beer! -The most professional and all round great guiding staff I've ever come across
Weaknesses: Can't think of any!
Overall: I' ve been on many biking trips, and this is by far the best so far- and that's saying something given some of the places I've been too.
Nepal is an awesome country and the itinery and local guides really allow you to get right into the very heart of the country from day 1. The scenery, as you'd expect is supreme- the sunset over the Himalya's are particually something i will never forget.
The riding was top notch too- great downhills and singletrack, some challenging uphills- everything you could ever want.
The hotels are mostly surprising as to their luxury, with only one exception, but that was all part of the fun!
What really made it though, were the guiding staff who were all so friendly and could not do enough to help. What great guys!
All in all then, well worth it and I'd urge you to go at the first opportunity!
