It is the only bike tour in the world offering views of Mt Everest while riding at your own pace. A demanding day of uphill riding is rewarded by single track and mountain views. Technical riders enjoy days of riding downhill jungle trails and through villages. Rural roads allow riders of all abilities to enjoy Himalayan culture and scenery. Both running events and the bike tour are held simultaneously.
Walkers are welcome and encouraged to join the trip.
Walk at your own pace with a guide and enjoy spectacular views of peaks rising from Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet, and Bhutan such as Mt. Everest and Kanchenjunga, 1st and 3rd highest in the world. Jeeps support the running aid stations and bike riders so there is always a chance of getting a lift. Following mountain trails, you have time to stop in hill villages and monasteries along the way, yet have dinners and overnight with the runners. Walkers have plenty of time to enjoy the cultural diversity of Hindu and Buddhist religions, Colonial charm of Darjeeling, and scenery during the running events. All abilities and ages supported.
