Tibet - Lhasa to Kathmandu
Cycling in the Tibetan Plateaus from Lhasa to Kathmandu is an awe-inspiring experience and a must for adventure cyclists. Our Tibet cycle tour travels from between two of Asia's most exotic cities. On the tour we will mountain bike over 5 major passes above 5000m and traverse a distance of 1000km over the backbone of the Himalayas.
The tour includes the world's longest downhill ride from just over 5000m at Thang La, cycling down to below 700m in Nepal - around 4400m in just over 160km of breathtaking descent.
Cycling to Everest Base Camp is a spectacular feature of our tour, and another major cycling challenge, as the road climbs almost fifty hairpin bends over the Pang La Pass. Here at 5150m we see the magnificent views of the Himalayas, and of Mt. Everest itself. Finally reaching Base Camp is an experience few will ever forget.
