Annapurna Circuit Cycling
where the Highest Mountain Bike race (Yak Attack) on Earth happens
Annapurna Region offers some of the most dramatic scenery in the world with trekking routes to suit all seasons and levels of fitness. Our bike route follows the two major river valleys (the Kali Gandaki and the Marsyangdi) and popular trekking trials through Manang and Jomsom.
Starting from Besi Sahar in the fertile middle hills, the route passes through Hindu Villages. An outstanding variety in the cultures and landscape can be seen along the route. Through a series of formidable gorges the trial takes to the upper Annapurna regions where the houses have Tibetan-style flat roofs and the Manangi men and women wear the Tibetan chuba. Here almost everything is Tibetan except the spoken language. Manang is a beautiful remote district consisting mainly seven villages - Manang, Braga, Pisang, Ghyaru, Ngawal, Tenki and Khansar. Each of these villages offers you most amazing views of great Himalayas so near that your eyes won't believe it. These villages lie in the heart of Himalayas, encircled by magnificent mountains like Annapurna range, Gangapurna, Pisang peak, Lamjung Himal, and many more. The elevation and rock-cliff alongside the trail and the huge never-ending Marshyangdi River makes this place more thrilling. There are historical monasteries, which reveal the backgrounds of Buddhist religion.

The trial takes over Thorong la pass (5416m), passes through 'Muktinath', a popular pilgrimage site with 108 water spouts, for both Hindu and Buddhist. The route continues through a major market, 'Jomsom'. Since the early 1970s this modern town has been the capital of Mustang district. The increase in the frequency of flight into Jomsom has brought more tourists to this area. The Annapurna circuit tour is completed after entering into the Pokhara District. Ride through a busy city, Beni and enter into a beautiful touristy city, Pokhara. We spend a day in Pokhara to explore its beautiful landscap
