Cycle Kathmandu - Openwork
This outstanding cycle ride, through Nepal’s well-known Kathmandu Valley is the best way to see as much of rural Nepal as possible.
Arriving into Kathmandu, you will cover approximately 300kms over the following 5 days. Biking around the valley offers a great way to escape the city and connect with the local people and landscape. You will make contact with centuries-old Buddhist culture, fresh mountain air, nature trails and of course the greatest range of snow-capped peaks in the world including Mt. Everest.
Leaving Nepal’s capital you head for Nagarjuna Forest, home to many ancient yogic caves before heading on to Shivapuri National Park. Here you can enjoy the serenity of Nagi Gompa Monastery, home to over 100 practicing Buddhist nuns. Further on in your journey your cultural adventure continues at Namo Buddha – the site of Buddha’s self-sacrifice.
Each day you can peddle at your own pace along some of the hidden trails to the rarely visited rural villages where you will see the warm smiles of locals living traditional and simple life.
Having completed the challenge, you will have the chance to relax and do some outdoor activities at The Las Resort.
