The guys were great to deal with and very accommodating. The bikes were really well maintained and performed well. The trail we did was a good level with some good ballsy downhill sections. Good option for a day out whilst in Pokhara

We had a great day riding downhill in the area of Pokhara. It's a good 1/2 day activity. The service in the store was good and the guide's skills were outstanding. You need to be confident of your cycling skills but there are always possibilities for walking. The bikes are very well maintained.

One of those rides that I hope to do it again soon. The climb with that view - priceless! Experienced downhill for the first time, and that was scarily fun. Big shout out to Milan Magar from Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure for making the ride that I will miss and come back. @onglenghin, Facebook

If you want to take a mountainbike/singletrail ride -that's the place you have to go to. I went there one day before to ask if i can get a tour the next day, i immediately got one for the next day. Jagan and his guys gave me really good advise which trek should be ok for me - padeli trek/peace stupa. It's an awesome tour through woods and rural landscapes, especially the singletrail sections were absolutely great, as well as my guide (Prince was his name i think) - he always just took the right pace on the way up. The bikes they offer are in good shape and in my opinion prices are also good.

Myself along with four other riders went on a four day adventure with Pokhara mountain bike, it was an amazing experience! firstly, Jagan from Pokhara mountain bike welcomed us at the hotel in Pokhara and even gave us each some flowers. We then chose our rented bikes and every bike in the shop was very good. It is clear that Pokhara mountain bike has invested lots of money into their bikes as all five of us found the bikes very good, and we all come from mountain biking backgrounds so we were pleased to ride on such great bikes. We road with a guide the whole time, he was really positive and lifted spirits when we felt tires going up the hills. Our guide was kind enough to carry various bike parts and tools incase any of the bikes were to get damaged. This came in handy as all together we had three flat tires and our guide happily fixed each one for us. He gave us advice on riding techniques and always checked we were ok as we rode throughout the day. The standards of the hotels were very good, there wasn't air conditioning, but a fan was sufficient, and this wasn't expected anyway. Overall I would definitely recommend riding with Pokhara mountain bike, they honestly took good care of us, whether it was the guiding, accommodation and transport. They even organized a company car for us to travel five hours to kathmandu.

Well organised with great bikes and gear. My guide looked after me and all I had to do is tuck in behind him and follow him to the bottom. The single track from the peace pagoda is the pick of the trails. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a hassle-free and memorable ride around Pokhara or beyond.

Amazing experience. Jagan quickly arranged a trip for me on a late request. The people were very patient with me and went through the details of our trail beforehand. Anil and Sushil were my guides throughout the two day trip and I couldn't expect for better ones, they were patient along the way, providing the right guidance and advice that helped a lot. The itinerary was challenging for me, especially in mansoon season, it was rainy in parts of the trail and the beginning of the downhill was slippery and extra-challenging. I was also not able to see the snow topped mountains from the view point because of the weather, which was mentionned to me beforehand. Overall, all of this didn't get into the way of having a great experience and a lifetime highlight! A few advice: do clearly state your level in MTB in advance and ask about the details of your itinerary to help them give you the trail that fits your needs.

I booked a guide for half a day and he showed me the goods around in Pokhara hillsides. First day after a year of brake I had a heavy slow ass climbing uphillgive my guide had good patience with me. The trails fits different levels of experience depending on which round you take. The best trail I would say was from the Peace temple at the hilltop. Awesome flow through the forest, however requiring somewhat experienced skills in some parts. A great active day in Pokhara! The bike was well kept and of newer model fullsuspension enduro. They also provide hardtail and downhill bikes (heavier). A very professional company, in the medium-high pricerange. I recommend guide the first few times as there's lots of trails not shown on the map.

Mountain biking was a great way to see Pokhara with spectacular views and the guys made it a fun ride. Challenging in height and some rocky downhill finishing round the lakeside villages. Jorgan was extremely helpful and my guide Dipesh took great care of me along the way always happy to stop and take photos. It was a highlight for me and a memorable day. Thanks guys - I highly recommend you to anyone wanting to explore Pokhara by bike.

We went on a 6 hours tour climbing up both lake sides. The downhill was just amazing! The tour was quite tough but it was just the right amount of challenge! We went at the beginning of October, so the path was still a bit slippery but that was simply part of the challenge. Without a guide we probably wouldn't have found those great trails so if you're renting such good bikes you might as well spend the money to make sure you find the good trails. The guides were very helpful, skilled and fit and the bikes were probably the best you can get in Pokhara. So if you're not just looking to cycle around a little, go with Pokhara Mountainbike Adventure!

An unforgettable adventure! 🚵‍♂️ The trails around Pokhara Valley offer the perfect mix of challenge and stunning scenery. Riding through lush forests, traditional villages, and breathtaking mountain viewpoints was an incredible experience. The downhill sections were exhilarating, and the local guides were super helpful. Highly recommend this for adventure lovers visiting Pokhara!

Before we even started the day trip, the owner of the shop greeted me with Chai and cake, they checked the bikes are in good shape and no problem ( ghost 2015) we leaved for the trip at seven in the morning sharp, i took a local guide , he was amazing, very skilled, very patience with high service awareness!! The trail was in high standards with many Gaps, Drops, Jumps etc. To summarize, Jagan and his team have the best shop with the best prices and the best team in the all Nepal!! for sure i'll go back. all the best.

A friend and I had never done mountain biking and were looking for an experienced guide to safely take us down a path. We dealt with the CEO, Jagan, who has a great sense of humour and does what he can to make you happy. Jagan was very flexible and customized an outing for us. We were dropped off by van from the top with a guide. The bikes are very high quality (from the perpsective of a newbie) and the full protective gear made us feel safe. It gets very hot so bring sunscreen and water.

We did a spontaneous 2 hours trip to Pokhara's most famous single trail at the World Peace Pagoda including a shuttle. The consultancy at the shop was excellent and we had a very firendly and flexible young guide, who always gave great advice on the trail and even took many photos for us. Only the bike setup at the beginning could have been more elaborated, but we did not complain.

I had heard of this company via an article in Bike Magazine. Had corresponded with the owner Jagan prior to my arrival about a mountain bike trek. Last minute changes had to be made due to my boyfriends delayed flights so we ended up doing a one day ride to Begnas Tal and back and the next day we did the Dh/Enduro package. We had a great time on both. We decided not to use a guide for our 23 mile out and back to Begnas Tal due to our own decisions but I would suggest a guide if you are not good with maps or uncomfortable talking to Nepali locals. We did get lost once but we met some locals that helped us. The ride there was beautiful and the best of rural Nepal. Jagan did a great job providing us with directions, spare tires and equipment. Our only negative was my boyfriends bike was not in 100 percent working condition. The gears kept switching on him as we rode. We brought it back to shop before we left town and they fixed it and told him it's a rental bike but he just rode it amyways as the problem happened all day. We think it was a derailer issue. The next activity we did was the Downhill package for 9000 Rupees. The price is worth it but give yourself enough time to do all three rides. We had a flight to catch that afternoon and we went over the suggested 3/4 hour slot and ended up having to skip the third ride. The rides were challenging and fun. The guides were nice but a bit quiet at first and made sure we were being safe. We ended up with two guides and four people in our group which actually knocked the price down by 1000 rupees! The reason our ride took so long is actually because my bike had two flat tires. The guide did his best c changing the flat tires. The tubes were patched up and we can air so it took about half an hour to 45 minutes to find a tube that wasn't leaking which was the reason why it took us so long I was afraid that we would be missing flights if we took the third run if I had more flat tires so I was suggest that they just make sure that they have 100% working tubes for any downhill ride. Overall we had a great time and didn't let the small negatives affect our experience as we know when mountain biking things can happen. I would definitely suggest using poke her a mountain bike again their bikes were in good condition and the service and staff was friendly and professional.

Don't bother with small shops renting rickety Chinese bikes. This place has quality bikes and offers great service at a good price. They even picked me up to bring me to their shop and dropped me off the same way after I returned the bike. Overall it was a great experience.

Had an outstanding 3 hour ride around the lake in Pokhara. Excellent Single track with a great downhill at the end. My guide Binod was a keen rider with great knowledge of the area. Top class bikes and a unique personal service. Would come back to ride with these guys any time 👍👍👍👍👌 ...

This place gives access to some of the most amazing mountain biking in the world. Epic descents with first class guide service, come with your A-game! Our trip included many of the most iconic runs and hikes of my life. Not to be missed. Jagan, thanks for the organization. Santoram and Suman we're the best guides we could ask for. Super strong cyclists and there for anything we needed.
