Smash Some of the Best Enduro Mountain Biking Trails around Kathmandu Valley

Overview

Without a doubt, Nepal is one of the best places to come and shred some Enduro trails. Actually we believe Nepal was created for Enduro style mountain biking, we have hills … lots of them, limited road access and a bounty of natural trails which offer varied and exciting riding, plus easy access to beer at the end of a long day’s ride! Our Kathmandu Enduro trip rips the best trails during the day and haunts to best watering holes and feeding zones by night.

Himalayan Single Tracks’ specialty is finding the best trails in the chaotic maze of urban development, community forests, virgin jungles and terraced rice fields that is Kathmandu Valley, it is possible to do anything from 1 to 5 days of excellent Enduro riding here.

While we do have fixed itineraries, keeping to the essence of Enduro, we like to let you decide, so email us with your time frame, skill level and how hard you want to shred and we will custom the tour for you. This is a fully supported Shuttle Trip

Shivapuri National Park

The ride starts with a one hour drive out of the Valley to Kakani. You can expect awesome mountain views on a clear day. From here we enter the National Park and have a short but tough climb that may involve some push and carry. Things get exciting as we enter the jungle and the track narrows, 9km of undulating single track drops us out at Gurje Bhanjyang. We ride a further 7 km on flat trails with a few short climbs to get to 30 mins of heaven, a 6km long flowing trail through the Jungle. Again we climb around 2.5km on easy jeep track, before we hit the long descent on Heli Pad, one of the most popular trails in the Kathmandu Valley. At the end of the trail, we meet our shuttle and transfer to Nagarkot for an overnight stay enjoying the panoramic views of the Himalaya.
