Ride to the Tibet Border
Ride from resort to the Tibet Border through beautiful landscapes and charming villages. Set foot on the Friendship Bridge, the white line in the middle is the actual border between Nepal and Tibet! You can picnic on the way with a packed lunch or eat at one of the local restaurants in the Nepali border town Kodari. A visit to the hot springs at Tatopani is a nice way to break up your return journey. If you are too tired you can also just put your bike of the roof of a local bus and have them drop you back at the resort.Mountain biking
Once you have left the Kathmandu Valley (you can put your bike on the roof of the bus and have yourself dropped at the edge of the valley) the road is quiet and it is a pleasure to cycle through the magical land so close to Tibet.
You pass small villages, old temples on river islands, stupas with prayer flags and local trading places. The stone plateaus under big holy trees on the side of the road make a good place to rest and enjoy the scenery. Or stop for a coke at a local tea shop and have a chat with the locals.
The ride takes about 6 hours with stops on the way. Our partner organization has good quality imported branded mountain bikes. They also provide an experienced guide and cycle helmets.
There is also a off the road variation to The Last Resort available. It is an great downhill from Nagarkot to to Malamchi junction. A dirt track follows the river and takes you through villages and fields. You meet the main road at Dolalghat and can choose here to ride more or take the bus up to the resort.
