Description: For the adventurous cyclist this land of rugged beauty, vast landscapes, and glittering peaks offers one of the ultimate biking challenges. We cycle across the high altitude desert, over five 5,000m passes, stopping off at the north face of Everest's base camp, before making the 160km descent into Nepal. A tough trip, but for those cyclists who dare to cross this inhospitable plateau the sense of achievement, and spectacular beauty of the country, will always be with them.
