Before embarking on your Himalaya Downhill Mountain Biking journey, you get to practice on the northern Kathmandu valley, cycling through lush green landscapes via various paths including Balaju, Mudkhu, Chaurgoan, Jhor, Tokha and Budhanilkhanta. Here, you can enjoy top-notch single track, twisty trails, sharp turns, steep climbs and thrilling downhills under the guidance of expert biking guides. As part of the experience, you get to immerse yourself in genuine Nepalese culture through homestay accommodation. Living in a traditional stone and tile house, observing the daily routines of local people such as grass cutting, cattle grazing and witnessing the contented and modest life of the villagers gives an insight into the real Nepal that is unblemished by modern development. Despite their lack of access to modern comforts, they choose to live in peace and pride without major hardship or conflict.
