From the energy of Kathmandu to the tranquility of Bandipur’s heritage town.

A day of travel, views, and getting into expedition mode.

*Bikes & Participants

A relentless uphill day from Besisahar, climbing steadily into a narrowing Himalayan gorge. Expect long, grinding ascents, rocky tracks, and sections that test both lungs and legs—rewarded at day’s end by the dramatic cliffside village of Tal Phedi.

From Tal Phedi’s dramatic canyon setting, the route climbs hard into cooler highlands, weaving through forests, cliffs, and rushing rivers before rolling into Chame—an unforgettable blend of effort, elevation, and mountain beauty.

A steady, high-altitude approach takes you out of Manang and along narrowing paths toward Yak Kharka. The terrain mixes smooth riding with brief pushes through rocky pinch points, unfolding into a calm, elevated landscape of grazing yaks and open ridgelines.

From the quiet slopes of Yak Kharka, the route makes a long, determined push toward the 5,416 m crest of Thorong La, where thin air and rugged switchbacks mark the final ascent. From the pass, a dramatic, sweeping descent drops into the dry, windswept landscapes of Mustang, ending in the ancient village of Kagbeni—a day defined by effort, altitude, and unforgettable contrasts.

A big day of movement begins in Kalopani’s alpine forests and unfolds into a long, sweeping descent toward warmer mid-hill villages. The terrain alternates between fast downhill sections and gentle climbs, guiding you toward the vibrant foothills of Gaundakot/Baglung.

From the warm foothills of Gaundakot/Baglung, the route rises into a series of tough climbs and sweeping ridgelines, followed by long, winding descents toward the lakeside basin of Pokhara. A full, varied day of effort and reward—ending in one of Nepal’s most iconic mountain towns.

A quick but breathtaking domestic flight lifts us from Pokhara’s lakeside into the sky, tracing the contours of the landscapes below before touching down in Kathmandu for our final night.
