If you are looking for an extreme outdoor sport that challenges your physical strength and capability, Mountain Biking is something you should try in Nepal. With outstanding trails for mountain bikes, Nepal takes you to an adventurous journey of dirt and sweat, with the opportunity to witness some impressive landscapes and views.

An evolving outdoor sport, mountain bike, an off-road cycle, has been gaining popularity every day as the ancient and new trails are getting better than before. With a crazy number of gears, durable yet comfortable padded seat, flat tires, attractive shape, and thin weight, MTB is the vehicle that can help you explore the entire country. A perfect companion for travelers who hate smelly buses, want a budget-friendly trip and are passionate about fitness, MTB lets you travel in the toughest trails and keeps your body fit and mind fresh.

Trekking is mandatory in Nepal. Going to steep trekking trails on MTB is new and challenging.  So, in the country where trekking is typical, pedaling has become a new trend. Fit for all age groups, even older-age group people travel on MTB and have their gang of cyclers who go on MTB trips together.

The price of MTB can vary between NPR 8,000 and NPR 380,000 depending on factors like brand, facilities, and quality. For tourists and non-MTB riders, the hiring system is quite popular in different cities where you can hire an MTB for NPR 1,000 or cheaper. The MTB popular cities in Nepal are Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbini, Chitwan, and Dharan. The popular MTB trails one must try are Annapurna Circuit Trail (around 11 days), Mustang Trail (about 5 to 6 days), and Lower Everest Region Trail (approximately 5 to 6 days).

In busy cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, where traffic is extreme that it kills your mood, and you want to get out of the busy streets, MTB can be your escape buddy. The crazy MTB riders even on the go on extremely long trips and sometimes travel on highways to reach different cities like from Kathmandu to Sindhuli or Pokhara.

If you are completely new in Nepal and do not want to go on a solo MTB ride, you can be a part of the MTB riders group. The local groups of mountain bikers go on regular trips and are welcoming and always happy to have outsiders. You can meet such groups via MTB shops or hiring centers in major cities.

Some stores and companies organize professional MTB trips where, for a certain amount, they provide gears, hired bikes, first-aid, food, tents, etc. and guide the journey. Even customized trips can be organized for you and your friends.

Go eco-friendly! Challenge yourself with dust, dirt, tears, and sweat by getting an MTB ride.
