In India we offer trips to Ladakh, Sikkim and the hill station of Darjeeling. Ladakh offers some really fantastic trails as well as carpetted roads which often has no traffic at all. The landscape is built in such a way the mountain bikers really feel welcomed. To a certain extent it feels like in Tibet and it is popularly known as Little Tibet.

Sikkim and Darjeeling are beautiful hill stations with terraced rice fields, age old beautiful monasteries and ever smiling people. Sikkim is slowly growing into a biking paradise.

BIKE HIRE: You need a mountain bike in a good working condition with helmet, both available for hire in Kathmandu. We have big stock of bikes with front suspension e.g. Trek 4400 with genuine parts.
