Lhasa-Kathmandu expedition

Cycling on the Roof of the World

Tibet appeals to your fantasy due to the high elevation, the extreme climate and the extraordinary culture which gives the country its unique character. With an average altitude of 4000 m the sunlight is intense, the air clear, and the colors of unrivaled quality. This tour makes the dream of cyclists and bikers come true: cycling on the Roof of the World from Lhasa to Kathmandu. We choose deliberately for flexible riding, cycling the finest tracks and occasional transport where necessary. In this way our tour will be feasible for every motivated biker. Of course you will see fine examples of Tibetan culture like the Potala Palace, the old city centre of Lhasa, and some of the big monasteries. The route of our journey runs over 5 high passes with great views every day. We even bring you all the way to Everest Basecamp. A thrilling experience waits you at the end: the descent to Nepal. Theoretically the longest road descent on earth. Real bikers should do this once!
