This is well beyond anything a countryside pootler like me will do, but I know that there are folks on here that like a big adventure. There's a really nice article on BBC Travel about the development of mountain biking in Nepal and its potential to hugely benefit the local Sherpa communities.

Anyway, I thought that folk might be interested.

I did a similar trip last year with H & I Adventures. It was the most amazing biking trip I have ever done. Not just the biking but Nepal and the people. The landscapes seemed huge. a1751071-102d-431c-9e18-139b85c0e486.jpeg_PRA0148.jpeg495de220-6215-4fc1-8c9a-6b3db0cc3655.jpeg

The bridges are great fun riding over them though a wobble sideways will shorten your time on earth.

Mike at Mountainbike Kerala (really good guy) runs Himalayan trips too. Been to Kerala - which was tremendous - and I’m sure his Himalayan trips are equally spectacular
