Annapurna Circuit Biking Tours
Annapurna Circuit biking tours 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 world deepest river Kali Gandaki and the Marshyangdi) through most popular trekking trials in Annapurna region.
Our biking tours starts from Besi Sahara 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 district lying in the western part of Nepal, northern part of Gandaki zone, which covers an area of 2246sq km. Manang is different than any other district in Nepal as Manang district has only 13 villages and is divided into three distinct regions: Nyeshang Valley, Gyalsumdo Valley and Nar Phu Valley. Manang is home to just about 9,000 people. Thus, Manang is also known as "Himal Pariko Jilla" and also it is famous for the Milarepa Cave.
The trial takes over Thorong la pass (5416m), passes to 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.
