Our adventure trip starts from the scenic spot of Pokhara. Our bike ride combines spectacular mountain scenery with incredible ethnic and cultural diversity, and traverses through very friendly villages.

We take off in the morning - a sweeping flight across the Himalayan panorama to Pokhara valley, Nepal's second largest valley, where we will be less than 20 miles from Himalayan peaks that rise 8000m above the valley floor. Here we witness the magnificent snowy panorama from Mt Dhaulagiri to the Annapurna summits, Lamjung and Manaslu in the east. The famous Machhapuchhre or fish tail mountain, Nepal's Mattahorn dominates the landscape here.
