Annapurna Circuit Mountain Bike Tour - with side trip to Tilicho Lake

19 Days | Ride: 14 Days | Hotels/Mountain Lodges | Maximum altitude: 5410m | Minimum: 1 Person

The world-famous journey around Annapurna is now available for a fascinating mountain biking for adventure cyclists. Ride with our expert guides on this epic journey in the Nepal Himalayas. It is, without doubt, one of the best cycling trips in the whole world. On this amazing trip, we not just cycle around the Annapurna Massif but also make a side trip to beautiful Tilicho Lake - one of the highest fresh-water lakes in the world. The whole experience is just unsurpassable!

The Annapurna Circuit is a beautiful mix of everything - green low-lying fields, picturesque villages, colourful culture, high arid valleys, thick forests, high mountains and deep gorges.

While the ride is amazing, it is equally difficult and suitable only for those who have experience with off-route cycling. You have to accept the challenges, remain flexible (changes are inevitable), and be ready to push or carry the bikes often on short sections. As a special highlight, we make an unbelievable descent of 1600m from top of the Thorung La!
