Guide had a very good knowledge of the streets and routes around Pokhara. Struggled a little to complete the first ascent. Guide was flexible to arrange a nature trip after the downhill rather than attempting a second ascent.

You will get an opportunity to see life of locals, beautiful views of the lakes and mountains! Our guide Laxman was very patient; explaining us about the history, life in Pokhara whilst breaking out a good sweat! THANK YOU AND I highly recommend this!

Me and my partner had a really good time with Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventures. The route up was a bit harder than expected however our guide was excellent!! The viewpoint at the top overlooking Pokhara was superb and so was the route all the way down. The bikes used were absolutely top notch and the staff in the shop were great!! Definitely recommend!!

We are to touring cyclists who have been traveling for five months. We had some mechanical issues with our bicycles and when we came to Pokhara we needed urgent repairs to be done. Despite of the challenges with our European bicycles in their complicated mechanics, the stuff of Pokhara Mountain bike adventure managed to fix all the issues and to get our bikes back on track thatwe were impressed by their professionalism, friendliness and absolute punctuality when he came to get the repairs done on time. Epic things from our site and it goes without saying we would blindly recommend them to everyone.

Went on a bike tour with 8 other friends in early December. The group at Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure are many things: 1) Accomodating - the group tour was organised the night before the tour and they pathed out a particular tour route that accoutned for all levels of skill in our group, even one member who learnt how to ride a bicycle the night before the tour! 2) Friendly and entertaining - the guides were like friends, always up for a good laugh, while showing us all the land marks and scenery. Also raced and had challenges with us during the tour, through sand and mud. 3) Focused on safety - when one of the members became injured, there was communication between the guides and the team at the office. they sent out extra staff on bikes and a jeep as well, to ensure we all got back safely and on time 4) Stocked with great bikes - a few of the group made note of the good bicycles available for the tour 5) Reasonable prices for the tour! One of the highlights of the trip definitely.

Jagan organised a great downhill tour of about two hours in total. Was a great experience, the guide made the correct decision to do a route without much climbing, as my girlfriend was a bit short of breath. Good call!

I absolutely suggest to anyone coming to Pokhara to take a bicycle tour with them. The owner is really kind and friendly, makes you feel like you have been friend for a lifetime. Laxman, who is the guide, was really helpful during the trip and also explains many things about the landscape and also Nepali culture. 100% worth it
