Mountain biking the Annapurna Circuit

I joined a group of 12 Australians riding mountain bikes along the Annapurna Circuit that was supported by Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure in October 2022 They supplied most bikes organised accommodation and most meals and guided and supported the 11-day tour Riding and often walking - the Annapurna Circuit was an amazing experience The scenery was beautiful and at times breathtaking We also had a chance to see and experience the cultures of Nepal It was a challenging tour over rough terrain We rode on roads trails single tracks and foot paths through some villages We had three guides riding with us They were professional fine friendly companions who guided our riding patched our wounds yes a few knees and elbows lost skin and maintained our bikes We had daily briefings about what the coming day would be like The guides had around 30 years of combined experience so they knew the routes and the varying conditions we faced Throughout the tour we were well-fed and stayed in basic but comfortable tea houses A hot shower usually wasn t available as the first people to bathe often got most of the hot water that was part of the adventure Our luggage was transported from tea house to tea house by a 4WD vehicle except for three days approaching and going over the pass at Thorong La Minimal very warm clothing and gear were carried on those days Our bikes were well maintained and suited to the rough terrain I was glad I rented my bike rather than bringing my own I rode a dual-suspension Trek with a dropper seat post and 3 people brought their own bikes Highlights of the tour were 1 the Himalayas of course 2 the people our excellent guides and support staff the rest of our group and the local people we met 3 the food we ate a mix of local and Western dishes 4 the support we had from our driver and porters and 5 the quality mountain bikes we hired I highly recommend Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure especially if you are a fit and at least moderately-experienced mountain biker Jagan and his team are great They also offer other guided tours which I would like to do in future

Rookie rides the Annapurna Circuit

I was part of a group on 12 Australians that did the Annapurna circuit Jagan s team was absolutely phenomenal - they were extremely knowledgeable and professional but also really fun people to hang out with I am not an experienced mountain biker but the guides gave me a great bike and enough advice and guidance that I was able to keep up with the rest of the group and have a great time doing it It was the most challenging ride of my life and I loved every minute Thanks guys

Upper Lower Mustang

All the five star reviews tells a story and it ticks all the boxes Easy last minute booking Easy payment by cash credit card bank transfer Value for money Clear and fast communication with Jagan Large selection of bikes to suit all sizes Trips are well planned and can be changed before or during the trip Experienced guides Amazing scenery I was initially supposed to go on my MTB tour in April 2020 but COVID soon put a stop to that I had been in contact with Jagan ever since then and due to my work commitments I was a last minute booking which Jagan accommodated and had a guide Suman on stand by for my arrival I booked up for the 13-day Lower Mustang tour which included 4 rides around Pokhara and enjoyed it so much I extended my visa and also did the Upper Mustang tour which I changed to 11 nights Suman my guide was awesome and knew lots of routes and gave me lots of different route options along the way We rode singletrack double track rock gardens river beds forrest trails jeep tracks tar roads hike bike carry bike some tough uphill rides some amazing downhill rides Most of the rides averaged 25km per day 3 5 hours of riding I changed my trip routes before and during both tours with no issues at all Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventure have been operating for around 20 years and are the only operating MTB company in Pokhara They have a large selection of MTBs available in all frame sizes which are all fully serviced and in good condition and available for daily rental I used a Trek Fuel EX5 with a XL frame There are so many amazing tracks around Pokhara so if you are not planning a trip away you can enjoy all the tracks in and around Pokhara A big thank you to Jagan Suman and the team and hopefully I ll see you next year

Cycling with a View

I definitely recommend Pokhara Moutain Bike Adventures this tour operator came recommend to me by a friend and Jagan the owner and team did not disappoint Bike s were quality Trek s and the guide was well experienced I truly appreciated how warm and welcoming the team was especially since I was traveling alone Jagan gave recommendations outside of cycling and made me feel very comfortable He tailored my two days of cycling to my interests climbing and avoiding single tracks down Let them know yours interests and they will adjust the routes I had amazing mountain views on day two The extra touches were also well appreciated airport pickup tea coffee after the rides I also love that they are empowering females in cycling and training up female guides

Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventures are the best Nepal has to offer

Pokhara Mountain Bike Adventures are your best choice for mountain bike hire tours and trekking while in Nepal especially in the Annapurna regions Whether you go for one of their set tours or work with them to put together a bespoke tour to suit your needs I run a mountain bike rental guiding and wilderness dining company in Scotland called e-trail adventures and I can say with first hand experience that Jagan and his team of guides workshop staff and drivers are all very experienced professional and great people to hang out with They are willing to go above and beyond to make sure their clients have the best possible experience and leave Nepal with a total love and appreciation of their country and people They are available all year round and we had them arrange a trek and various mountain biking adventures during February which is actually a great time to visit Nepal All our tours were fantastic well organised and executed without any issues You will not be disappointed so give Jagan and his team a shout if your planning a trip to Nepal and Pokhara It s been 34 years since I last visited Pokhara for a trek of the Annapurna region and yes it has grown considerably but for the better with all businesses being run by Nepali s and has a feel of a Nepali version of the outdoor mecca Queenstown in New Zealand
