To get the the maximum out of your mountain biking experience to Nepal we recommend being an advanced to expert mountain biker. However, we can still accommodate riders that are intermediate for this trip with some minor adjustments to the itinerary. For Advanced rider all trails are rideable and for intermediate there are a few places where you might prefer to push the bike down for a short bit. There are plenty of different options so depending on the level of your group we will adjust the itinerary accordingly.
Roots, rocks, drops and tight switchbacks are no match for you even in steep and exposed terrain. You feel confident in riding longer trails with sustained technical features as well as handling some exposed sections with no-fall zones.
You can pedal uphill 1 hour per day and climb 300m during consecutive days riding. You don't mind steep uphill climbs for about 10 to 15 minutes at the time. Downhill you happily ride up to 3000 verticals per day. You exercise on average 2 times per week.
