Kathmandu is Nepal’s largest city, and its capital. A lake once filled the Kathmandu Valley and ancient myth tells of the monk Manjushri draining the lake with his sword. Today the unique topography of this valley - ringed by small hills and dotted with villages - offers the mountain biker endless areas to explore without ever leaving the relative comfort of the capital city. In addition, the Kathmandu Valley is the historic center of Nepal.

In the Kathmandu Valley, are three great towns: Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. They were all once independent kingdoms with powerful kings who encouraged the construction of temples and the creation of many enduring works of art. Each city is centered around the king’s palace, with the nobility and high castes concentrated close to the center. High walls where built to fend off each city’s neighbors. But in 1743, King Prithvi Narayan Shah started a conquest that would unify the different states into one within 15 years.

For One Day - Forget the uphill’s! HMB will take you on a downhill dream ride descending more than 2800ft, starting from 7100ft (2164m) with glorious mountain vistas from Nagarkot.
Morning hotel pickup, shuttle to Nagarkot for breakfast for a taste of the ‘pick of the peaks’…… then mountain bike on sealed roads through the terraced hills, fields & villages into Bhaktapur for a tour of this ancient Kingdom. Lunch in the Taumadi Square and safely returned to your hotel with your Himalayan Mountain Bikes certified “I biked the Himalaya’s - Nepal” in hand.

If you’re looking for more adventure than the average vacation, then here are some options! We can visit Kakani, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot, Palnchowk, Dhulikel, Nammo Buddha, Panauti and more – riding a wide variety of terrain, including classic Himalayan single-track with incredible high mountain views. Just let us know what you’re up for.
