Detailed Itinerary

Itinerary 1: Mudkhu to Tokha Mountain Biking Route – 30 Kms | 3-4 hours

This easy Mountain biking tour is ideal for beginners and is part of the day trip from Mudkhu to Tokha. The trial is rather short and easy to navigate, traveling through a historic Newari town that is easily accessible from Thamel.

Itinerary 2: Jamacho to Shivapuri National Park Mountain Biking Route – 42 Kms | 5-6 hours

This tour offers a different Mountain biking route in Kathmandu valley. Compared to the Mudkhu-Tokha trial, this ride is more demanding. The trial passes through Shivapuri National Park on a winding road. In order to get a great view of the city, we ride to the summit of Nagarjun Hill (2,130 meters). We will ride down to Mudkhu and retrace our trial back to the hotel after a little break.

Itinerary 3: Kakani to Budanilkantha Mountain Biking Route – 57 Km | 6 hours

One of the demanding Mountain bike trails in the valley rim is the ride from Kakani to Budanilkantha route. The journey takes you beyond the bustle of the city center all the way to Kakani's hill station (2030m). It's worth it to put forth the effort to ride to the top for the expansive view of the valley. You may reach Budanilkantha, a Hindu temple devoted to Lord Bishnu, by taking a downward bike from Kakani. Ride back to your hotel at last.

Itinerary 4: Budanilkantha to Kapan Mountain Biking Route – 33 Km | 5-6 hours

Our day Mountain biking tour in Kathmandu valley includes a challenging ride through Shivapuri National Park's single track in the Budanilkantha area. After riding to Budanilkantha, we begin the ascent to reach the highest vintage point. It's a demanding yet worthwhile journey. After reaching the summit, we ride downhill and continue on a flat, easy path in the direction of Kapan before riding back to the hotel.

Itinerary 5: Kathmandu – Nagarkot Mountain Biking Route – 60 Km | 6 hours

This experience is regarded as one of Kathmandu's best Moungain biking tours. We set out early in the morning on our bike to Nagarkot, a hill station. After leaving the city area, it would take us two to three hours of climbing and riding through adventurous and winding trails to get to Nagarkot. The greatest location to see the Himalayan mountain ranges, which include Mount Everest, is Nagarkot. We will take a little break and have lunch in Nagarkot before returning to the hotel.
