Nepals diverse terrain is a mountain bikers dream of adventure come true. Mountain biking offers an environmentally sound way of exploring this magnificent country, its landscape and living heritage. Because this is a Spartan, laborious mode of travel, it is also considered the way to travel by the purists. There are plenty of dirt roads and trails in Nepal to meet every mountain bikers wildest fantasy. Mountain biking is also recommended if you wish to explore the urban centers such as Pokhara and Kathmandu valley. Imagine, if you will, a ride through lush green rice fields, through hamlets, up and down the hillside, along the riverbank, around temples, past the street roaming cattle, along the highway. Through snow, monsoon downpour, wonderful light effects, or fierce head winds, depending on place and season. The adventurous souls may plan extended trips to such exotic locals as Tibet or western Nepal. You could even do the entire length of Nepal across the plains. What you can or can not do on mountain bike is limited only by your imagination.
The 15-18 gear mountain bikes are recommended if you wish to negotiate tough terrain. If you are going to exploring within the city limits itself, observing the hustle and bustle, going shopping etc. one speed indian cycles are nice. If you wish to be better informed about the culture, rythm of village life, cool spots to visit, the guided trips should be undertaken and Travel High Solu is always happy to help you.
