    Trip Itinerary

     

    Tibet — the mystical land often referred to as Shangri-La — is an awe-inspiring destination known as the Roof of the World. Resting on a vast plateau at an average altitude of 4,000 meters, it offers a truly unmatched setting for an epic adventure like the Lhasa to Kathmandu Mountain Biking Tour.

    Renowned for its ancient Buddhist heritage, dramatic landscapes, centuries-old monasteries, and vibrant spiritual culture, Tibet enchants every traveler. Bounded by the Kunlun Mountains to the north and the towering Himalayas to the south, Tibet spans an area of 1.2 million sq. km and is home to around 2.3 million people — known for their warmth, humility, and ever-smiling faces.

This high-altitude journey takes you through remote mountain passes, traditional villages, sacred temples, and stark yet stunning terrain — offering a rare glimpse into a world that has fascinated explorers, scholars, and seekers for centuries.

    Despite its remoteness, Tibet welcomes determined and adventurous travelers with its timeless charm and spiritual serenity. For mountain biking enthusiasts, the route from Lhasa to Kathmandu offers the perfect mix of challenge and wonder — riding through the heart of Tibetan culture with panoramic Himalayan views as your backdrop.
