The Lhasa to Kathmandu ride could be classed as one of the most challenging rides open to bikers. This is for many reasons given the factors of altitude, distance, weather, road conditions and life style change. The Lhasa to Kathmandu ride can claim to be the highest mountain biking in the world for a sustained period. As such the importance of four days, spent sightseeing around Lhasa cannot be over emphasised, proper acclimatisation is vital to anyone hoping to complete this expedition. We start from the Gonggar International Airport near the Tibetan capital, and cross 6 high passes, before eventually descending from the Tibetan Plateau into Nepal . 50% of our time though is spent on the Tibetan Plateau at heights above 4000 metres. Exploring various side valleys such as the route to Everest Base Camp will involve cycling on much rougher dirt & stony tracks. Daily distances cycled will range from 50 to 110 kilometres. This may not sound particularly great, especially to road-orientated cyclists, but the high altitude, difficult terrain, head winds and tough ascents will make cycling in this region a challenge for everyone. Of course the time should be taken to embrace the sights, people and culture, as it is totally unique occasion.
