Mountain biking in Nepal has been gaining much popularity among the adventure enthusiasts from around the world over the past few years. Fascinating mountain villages, nomadic lands, high passes, rugged and tough mountain terrain, winding rivers, rice fields, temples and monasteries as a backdrop of majestic snowy Himalayan peaks makes mountain biking trail in Nepal an exceptionally inspiring play ground for riders with any level of experience and fitness.
We are committed to the idea of creating extreme Mountain biking tours in Nepal for the experienced bikers and at the same time we offer tours to those who are less adventurous. Our first-aid trained guides are all local who know all the trails like back of their hands and are also expert mechanics. Our highest priorities in all our Nepal biking trips are safety, quality and enjoyment. Soft ride on 4WD track, extreme downhill ride or riding across the tough mountain terrain are the major features of our trips. We specialize in day-ride from Kathmandu valley rim to month-long single trial biking exploration.
Getting there:
By Surface: It is a pleasant scenic 5-6 hours drive by a tourist coach or a private vehicle from Kathmandu on the Prithivi Highway along the banks of the Trisuli River. En route you drive past several traditional Tharu villages and eventually reach the pickup point at fringe of national park from where you will be escorted by a Safari Jeep to your Safari Lodge.
By Air: It is a 20-minute pleasant flight from Kathmandu to Bharatpur airport (near Royal Chitwan National Park). Up on arrival at Bharatpur air strip, a representative from the Safari Lodge you are booked in will escort you on a Safari Jeep to Chitwan National Park.
By Raft: Explore Himalaya organizes a day rafting trip to three on 2-4 class Trishuli River. You can combine rafting trip and Chitwan Wildlife tours. After concluding rafting trip near Chitwan National park border it is further 2 hrs (approx) drive to the park.
Wildlife Safari Package Tours:
The itineraries and activities of the Chitwan and the Bardia national parks are almost similar in character, but activities may vary between seasons. The number and course of your safari activities are determined by the number of nights you book for. Two nights - three days programs could include activities like Elephant back safari, jungle walk, bird watching, dugout canoe rides on the river and a visit to the elephant briefing. In the evening a cultural show of the traditional Terai dances are a must. By booking three nights – four days program you could add up a few more specialized excursions like a jungle jeep drive and a visit to the elephant breeding centre. Unlike African animals, those in Chitwan tend to be rather solitary and shy, but the chances of seeing most of the species are very good, owing to the experience of the local guides and the fine vantage point from the back of an elephant. Indeed, these elephant rides are an attraction in themselves and there are also boat trips arranged to see the crocodiles and dolphins. To further enhance your jungle experience and add to the trill and excitement, a stay in one of the lodges in the parks will give you a memorable holiday of a lifetime.
