Cycling in the Tibetan Plateaus from Lhasa to Kathmandu is an awe-inspiring experience that is a must for adventure cyclists.

Starting and finishing in two of Asia’s most exotic cities, in 16 days we will cycle 5 major passes over 5000m and traverse a distance of 1000 km over the backbone of the Himalayas The tour will complete the worlds longest downhill ride, from a high

point of just over 5000m at Thang La to below 700m in Nepal – around4400m in just over 160km of breathtaking descent. After a couple of days exploring Kathmandu we take a dramatic flight across the great Himalayan range to Lhasa the capital of Tibet. This is one of the most interesting, remote and spectacular parts of the world. We begin with 3 days of sightseeing and acclimatising before heading across this beautiful landscape of snow- capped summits. Everywhere we pass we will see sighs of their religious devotion. Prayer flags fluttering on the tallest mountain passes, innumerable monasteries and temples with frequent processions of devout pilgrims. Everest Base Camp is a 'not to be missed' inclusion in our tour. To cycle there is another major challenge, as the road climbs almost fifty hairpin bends over the Pang La Pass. Here at 5150m we see the magnificent views of the Himalaya, and of Mt. Everest itself. Finally reaching Base Camp is a memorable experience few ever forget.
