Biking Nepal is a dream destination for mountain bikers due to its diverse terrain. Biking is an environmentally friendly way to explore the country and it is possible to bike the entire length of Nepal. Old dirt roads and trails offer the opportunity to go on extended trips to exotic locations like the Annapurna, Everest, and Kanchanjunga areas. Gear bicycles are recommended for tough terrain, and mountain bikes can be rented in various outlets around Kathmandu, Chitwan, Dhading, and Pokhara. Food and accommodation are available along the main trail and in the valleys. Mountain biking in Nepal really took off in the mid-1980s, and today Kathmandu is a mecca for mountain bikers from around the world. Biking trips within the Kathmandu Valley allow you to see a different side of the city, and other biking trips include city tours and visits to historical and medieval places in Kathmandu and nearby towns.
