Pokhara to Kathmandu Cycling Tour

Incredibly well organized! The team picked us up at the airport on the first day of the trip. Great hotel in Kathmandu's old town, great city tour. Then Chitwan, where everything went smoothly. If you want to get to know Nepal, you have to book here! Because the real highlights and the specialty of Pokhara MTB Adventures are yet to come. First the trekking tour to Poon Hill. Our guides were highly motivated and introduced us to the country during the trek. They did everything to make us feel comfortable and gave us plenty of time for photos. So our trek was not just a way to cover the distance, but a great experience. Tip: Watch out for the many steps! They are almost all steps😅. Afterwards an incredible mountain bike trip from Pokhara to Kathmandu! And during Diwali too! What is a great additional experience for us is a challenge for the guide and driver (some hotels and restaurants are closed). But always friendly and patient. The hotels are of varying quality, as is usual in Nepal. The route is very varied and you see many villages and how people really live. Jagan's team has absolutely top bikes (Scott Spark, Trek Fuel, both very recent) with the latest equipment, very well maintained! But be careful: in Nepal every road is really steep (up to 28%, and for a very long time). The tour is not a tour for beginners due to the steep gravel roads! It was perfect that our team accommodated our wishes and showed us more than planned. With Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure this is possible! Well maintained car, clean! Not always like that in Nepal. We would especially like to mention Santara as our guide and of course our driver Ramez (hopefully spelled correctly 😀).

I still get chills today (6 weeks later) when I think about the experience with Nepal Mountain Bike. As a Swiss, you are used to a high standard, but what I experienced this week surpasses everything. Jagan and his team are the best supporters for Nepal and global tourism. I value the experience enormously and could not imagine that such selfless and warm companies still exist. It touches my heart what this team makes possible for you. The price is high, but worth every franc, euro, and dollar. Thank you for this unique experience!

I have just returned from a two week trip to Nepal with a small group of friends. We were fortunate to have been put in touch with Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure who organised trekking and mountain biking for us from their base in Pokhara. In addition to this, they also helped us with transport within Nepal and around Pokhara. I cannot praise them highly enough. They were always helpful and professional and everything went according to plan. I think having the services of a locally-based company with extensive local contacts and experience is invaluable. Our trek and mountain biking were superb. We enjoyed fantastic weather and views of the mountains and, being outwith the peak autumn season, we felt as though we had the mountains to ourselves. We all plan to repeat the experience as soon as possible.

Got Jagan and team to organise a Pokhara to Kathmandu route. 6 nights through the low country valleys. Dealing with Pokhara MTB was a breeze through facebook and WhatsApp. Jagan was responsive and it was easy to work through details like bike type, route, accommodation and pickup. My journey started with 4WD pickup from my residence in Kathmandu, the drive to Pokhara and overnight accommodation near the lake in a comfortable hotel (all included in the package). From there I met the team and my guide (Laxman) and we sorted which bike worked for me and headed out the next morning. (PMTB have a great selection of bikes, including Large and XL frames which is important for me!). I went with a XL frame hard tail which served me well. The riding days were a good challenge, mostly for the humidity and heat in August. Distances ranged from 40-70km and a good mix of undulation, climbing and rolling decent. The climbing is not difficult if you are bike fit and used to decent hills (1000-2000meters/day) with most being on sealed or decent hard pack roads. Accommodation is basic, however every bed was comfortable and even had the luxury of hot or cold showers at every hotel. Luxman my guide was awesome and we enjoyed the routes and locals towns at the end of each day. The route gives a good mix of scenery, very different to the high altitude and more usual tourist destinations and I don't recall seeing another foreigner for the entire week. Local towns vary, some perched on high ridge lines (1600meters) or tucked by rivers in humid valley floors. Overall I finished nicely worn out and very pleased with my experience. The team make things easy and Luxman encouraged and kept me entertained on the journey. Big thanks to the team and highly recommended from me. Cheers Ben

Last May we did a mountainbike tour from Pokhara to Bandipur with this organization. What an experience! So many advantages: cycling with a really experienced guide; adventure; down hill and uphill challenges; good gear; small Nepalese villages; and less time left in the bus/jeep to Kathmandu! Guide and manager were very flexible to find out our perfect route. We definitely recommend a tour with Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure!

We had a great time with Laxman and his colleague, riding 7 days through the valleys and hills of Nepal. We will be back Thanks guys

Our arrival in Nepal couldn't have been better. We had a really warm welcoming, it felt like coming home. The whole team is very friendly, helpful and even our spontanous wishes were satisfied in best way. We were a group of five people and had a great time with a carefree package. Sightseeing in Kathmandu, exploring the green side of the country - the chitwan national park, followed by a Mountainbike daytour along the Lakeside in Pokhara. The Highlight was a three days trekking trip full of cultural impressions, breathtaking views... and always a lot of fun with the Guides and the local people. They also fullfilled all extra wishes as paragliding, rafting and yoga. All in all our time in Nepal couldn't have been better and we will definitely come back soon! Thank you! Danke! Dhanyabaad! :-)

Without a doubt, this has been the craziest and richest riding experience of my life! And that's after spending the past two years working and travelling in Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia, where I spent much time pursuing their famed riding spots. Jagan was very helpful making the trip perfect for me and all the guesthouses and food organised for me were perfect. Thank you Jagan. Credit must also go to my guide Laxman, who is a very skilled rider, but his true value for me was in his knowledge of the area and surrounding cultures. His service was similar to that of an old friend who wanted to make you feel welcome in a home you'd never visited before. I'll definitely be back to do the Upper Mustang trip. Thanks again Pokhara MTB Adventure

I was lucky enough to spend 5 days riding with Pokhara mountain bike adventure. The trip was a highlight of my stay in Nepal. I had not biked for a while so was first taken on a half days ride so my guide could assess my ability. My guide Dom was very experienced and catered the trip to my abilities and preferences but still offered plenty of challenges. He was very safety conscious giving tips and advice. The whole area was a true mountain bikers heaven. On top of that the scenery you are biking through is just breathtaking. The bike, equipment, accommodation and food provided was all of good quality. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks guys for a truly memorable trip.
