    Not personally but i met a guy through work who went to Tibet and a bit of Medial. His blog is here:

    There is a descent that lasted 75km. They tried some bits cross country and ended up on the road. They had guides to help but i recall they struggled to get visas for certain parts of Nepal.

    Rode round Kathmandu’s for 2 days. Most mental thing I have ever done on a bike. Did small tour round the valley. It was fun but not the best ever.

    Everyone is offering hints on bike tracks and paths and I would like to show you something else. Don’t forget it is a totally different country and when I say TOTALLY I mean it. So before you go try to take a look at sites and information about culture of Nepal and surrounding countries.

    I spent three months out there last year with the Mrs. We rode quite a lot, mostly with Tangi of enduromtbnepal fame, who karnali mentions above.

    I’ve written a fair bit on our Nepal riding experiences, I’ll dig out some links later.

    Thanks for the info. Been doing some research but recommendations and advice from folk that have been is better.

    If you want more help on recommendations, it would help to know what you want 😉

    Big mountains? Mega tech? High altitude adventures? Forests? Easy doubletrack? Touring?
