"HMB organised our mountain bike adventure with just 48 hours notice and everything went without a hitch. Their recommended route was ideal for our intermediate level and we got to see some places way off the beaten track. The food and accommodation was perfect and welcoming after hard days ride. The bikes exceeded our expectations and our guide was the best I have had anywhere in the world - always helpful, knowledgeable and most of all with a sense of adventure. I would have no hesitation in recommending HMB to anyone (and in fact I already have)".
An Epic 20-30 minute flight by Kawasaki Helicopter, with the best Himalayan panoramic views, remote villages and rivers, then start the downhill ride for 30-50km, where you’re met with a picnic brunch and choice of your drink….. a life time experience……..
