Overview

One of the most popular MTB routes in Nepal takes you on an adventurous ride to the Annapurna region where the landscape and mountains are equally breathtaking. With stunning single tracks passing through lush-tropical forests, cultivated fields, higher alpine and arid-desert like landscape, rocky surfaces, and ride through some gnarly switchbacks. The trail offers more than stunning views of the mountain, with culture, food, and awe-inspiring landscape, it is one of the most popular routes for mountain biking. Besides Annapurna, you will also see vistas of Manaslu along the way. For mountain bikers who are up for challenges, the route takes you to Thorung La Pass at 5416m, a brutal climb and equally cold winds. But the view from here is spectacular and the technical downhill is worth the climb.The route can be done yearlong, except Monsoon. The trail passes through many ethnic villages and locally run teahouses that offers an authentic experience. Besides the rustic villages, we’ll pass through monasteries. The route also takes us to Muktinath, a holy place, known for its spring waters.
