What people love about Bicycle Tours in Nepal
Dear Rana, With “Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks” I have had one of my most beautiful travel experiences ever. Organization in your hands was completely finished. I had a top quality Mountain bike available. It was a wonderful track, the weather conditions may not have been optimal – lots of snow – but the satisfaction afterwards was great. Also a big thanks to Purna, my guide, who was always by my side, and contributed to the success of my crossing of the Thorang La Pass (5416 m high) I can only recommend this trip with “Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks » with great enthusiasm to every Mountain bike-enthusiast.

Annapurna Circuit Biking
What our customers ask about Bicycle Tours & Trips in Nepal
What are the best cycling routes in Nepal for viewing mountain scenery?
The Annapurna Circuit stands out as Nepal's leading cycling destination showcasing the towering Annapurna range against varied landscapes from lush valleys to arid highlands. Cyclists pedal through the challenging Thorong La Pass at 5416m with clear views of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri peaks along the way. The route includes stops at cultural landmarks such as Muktinath Temple where both cycling and spiritual experiences merge. Places like Hotel Mountain View in Manang serve as strategic rest points offering direct views of the Annapurna peaks.
What is the typical daily cycling distance on Nepal bicycle tours?
Nepal's cycling tours cover 20-40km each day adjusted for elevation changes and terrain difficulty. The Annapurna Circuit follows a structured progression: 37km from Besisahar to Tal 22km from Tal to Chame and 29km from Chame to Manang. These distances let riders adapt to altitude changes while having time to explore local sites. Luxury stops like Mount Kailash Resort in Pokhara often schedule shorter 30km rides allowing for afternoon relaxation. As one rider noted: "The itinerary is well designed with every day 4-5 hours of ride everyday."
What accommodation can I expect during a multi-day cycling tour in Nepal?
Nepal's cycling accommodations range from established 3-star hotels in Kathmandu like the Royal Singi Hotel to simple teahouses in mountain villages. The Annapurna Circuit features local teahouses with basic shared facilities in stops like Manang and Muktinath. Premium tours include nights at upscale properties such as Temple Tree Resort in Pokhara. Travelers often comment that "teahouses offer warm hospitality though facilities are basic" while city hotels provide modern comforts between rides.
When is the best time of year for cycling tours in Nepal?
Nepal's prime cycling seasons run from March to May and September to November when the weather remains stable and clear. These months offer ideal conditions for tackling high-altitude routes like the Thorong La Pass. The summer monsoon from June through August brings heavy rains making trails slippery and dangerous. Spring draws cyclists to Pokhara Valley and Kathmandu's surrounding trails when rhododendrons bloom. October consistently ranks as the preferred month among cyclists for its clear mountain visibility.
How challenging are the mountain passes on Nepal's cycling routes?
Nepal's mountain passes demand serious physical preparation with Thorong La Pass (5416m) on the Annapurna Circuit requiring the most effort. The typical ascent takes 4 hours to cover 3km often starting before sunrise with some sections requiring cyclists to walk their bikes. Other notable routes include Lupra Pass at 4100m and paths through Kaligandaki Valley. Experienced riders emphasize that "proper acclimatization is crucial" suggesting rest stops at places like Manang's Mountain View Lodge before attempting major passes.
