Wonders Of Southern Nepal

Nepal's mountainous terrain isn't an obvious destination for those seeking a leisurely cycle trip, but the lowlands of the Terai offer just that along with a rich religious heritage of Buddhism and Hinduism, medieval towns, quaint hillside villages and protected wildlife.

We climb out of the Kathmandu Valley and start our riding through shady pine forests with stops along the way at remote temples and learn about the various kingdoms that comprised Nepal. We cycle down to the tropical lowlands where the fertile rice fields are still attended to using traditional farming traditions. We spend a rest day on elephant back looking for the endangered one-horned Indian rhino at Chitwan National Park before continuing on to the sacred birthplace of the Lord Buddha. A visit to the Newari city of Tansen will provide cool climes before we again descend to Pokhara, the base for trekkers on the Annapurna circuit. After a ride around the lakes of this region we'll have a spectacular flight back to Kathmandu.

A cycling holiday in Nepal is the ideal way to discover this beautiful and diverse country. The scenery is ever changing on this relaxing ride through the lowlands where you'll meet friendly villagers and have plenty of time to take photos. We also take time out for some gentle hikes, including one where we''ll meet our bikes for a exhilarating descent.
