Heatuda has plenty of trails for mountain bikers. Free riding through the Churiya Hills is a must do activity. We head for the ride after breakfast to meet with unending single tracks, jeep tracks, technical trails and some nice up and downhill’s. This ride is not just trail riding but a chance to meet the local people, witness village life, local culture and much more. A great day out and the distance entirely depends on how far you want to ride. Once back at the farm, you can relax and enjoy the best Nepali food cooked in our local kitchen. The Lifecycle Farmhouse also has a swimming pool for you to relax in at the end of the day.

Day 05: Hetauda to Chitwan

We leave the Farm House mid morning and drive most of the way to Chitwan, stopping in Sauhara we then have some lunch and take in the river side vibe. From here we and ride along the river for two and a half hours to a place called Jagat. A long the way we explore the 20,000 lakes and get many chances to see wildlife and birdlife.

Listen to the peaceful sounds of birds and the gentle flow of the river as the sun goes down.

A great day’s ride around Fewa Tal in Pokhara. The ride takes around 4 hours and there are awesome views of the Himalaya along the way, which is a good reward for a tough climb. Afternoon is free to explore Lake Side and prepare for the next leg of our journey.

Day 09: Pokhara to Kagbeni – Riding distance 14 km. Altitude 2800 m.

Wake up for sunrise and hopefully catch a glimpse of the mountains before we head to the airport. It’s about a 22 min flight to Jomsom, above the Pokhara valley and deep into the heart of the Himalaya, take a peek out of the window for fantastic views of Dhawalagiri and beyond. The flight is simply breathtaking as the plane’s wingtips almost touch the snow capped peaks, fly right between the Himalayan giants and you feel your adventure has really begun as the small plane banks left and touches down in Jomsom. In Jomsom, we have breakfast and spend some time getting the bikes ready for the journey. Enjoy an easy acclimatization ride of 14km to the beautiful Tibetan village of Kagbeni. The road is mostly flat and traces the Kaligandaki River right up to the boundary of Upper Mustang. Stay overnight in Red House, one of the oldest Inns in the region.

Day 10: Kagbeni to Muktinath – Riding distance 18 km. Altitude 3760 m.

Get up early to see the sunrise and have breakfast. Today we cycle uphill for the most part. Leaving behind the beautiful village of Kagbeni, warm up your legs and start to climb. We follow the trail on the north side of the gorge and climb up on a dusty jeep track towards the foreboding Throng La Pass. We stop and explore the ancient monastery at Jhong and have some lunch basking in the sunshine and enjoying the mountain Views. The final push after lunch is short and we should arrive in Muktinath in the mid afternoon. Spend some time here exploring the Monastery and Temples, two of the holiest in Nepal. Stay overnight and enjoy the local culture of this bustling town.

Day 11: Muktinath to Tukuche – Riding Distance 32 km. Altitude 2560 meters

Our day kicks off with some brilliant downhill and after yesterdays challenge, you will welcome fun jeep tracks and trails with a mostly downhill gradient! We have to start early as the wind gets up after 11 am making riding a bit more challenging. Chill out on this section and enjoy the views. For experienced riders there are single track options. Savor the moment as you whizz past trekkers, the Himalayan wind in your face and miles of downhill before your wheels. Once in the river Valley it’s a 6km flat stretch to Jomsom followed by undulating trails along the river to Marpha. In the wind this can be a bit tough riding, but stop and enjoy the views along the way. Take lunch in the beautiful and ancient town of Marpha famous for growing apples and making apple brandy! The trail rolls into Tukuche, a lovely old village on the river side. Take some time to explore the cobbled lanes and explore the Thakali culture. We stay overnight in the well furbished German Bakery. Apple Brandy is a local product and a good after dinner night cap to relax your mind and body after the days ride.

Day 12: Tukuche to Tatopani – Riding Distance 36 km. Altitude 1190 meters

Again we are going downhill today. The trail starts out gentle and flat and winds in and out of the valley sides, through pine forests and small villages. Following the river, there are good views of the snow capped peaks. Stop at the lush waterfalls at Rukse Chaahara for lunch. After here the speed picks up as the trail drops some 1000 meters with sweeping curves and plunges, rocky sections and bumps that you will love. Arrive in Tatopani the cobble lined village famous for its rejuvenating Hot Springs. Once in Tatopani you can enjoy a soothing bath in the Hot Springs and perhaps a local massage will not go astray, or a cold beer for that matter!

Day 13: Tatopani to Maldundha and Back to Pokhara – Riding Distance 22 km.

A ride of around 45 km on open jeep track, flat for the most part but a few up and down hills. From Maldundha we transfer by jeep back to Pokhara for a well earned rest and perhaps a beer!

Day 14: Pokhara to Manakamana

Leaving Pokhara early we drive to Manakamana, the one and only cable car in Nepal. We ride the cable car to the top of the hill where we find the Kali Temple, one of the most famous temples in Nepal. After having some time to look around and lunch, we then head out and ride along the ridge followed by an awesome, flowing descent back down to the river. Once rejoining the main highway we ride the short distance to River Side Springs Resort, situated next to the Trisuli River this is a great place to chill out.

Day 15: Manakamana to Kathmandu
