Pokhara is one of the most beautiful cities in Nepal, perhaps in the world featuring balanced and exotic combination of spectacular Himalayan ranges, swift flowing rivers and gorges peaceful lakes, magnificent hilltops, and exotic underground caves and we are having fun in this place we can do lot of activities like boating in Lake, Paragliding, city tour or drinking with amazing views. It’s a perfect place for recover after long tour.
Today after having our breakfast in hotel we have option flight back or drive back. If we fly it takes only 30 minutes to get KTM with awesome mountain views if weather is good and rest of time you can spend for sopping. Or if we drive back it takes 5 to 6 hours to get KTM with great adventure and you will know the how is Nepalese highways and it’s a good experience and we will stop for lunch and photos during our drive.
We will arrange to drop you at the airport for you pleasant flight.
EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Aaron Anderson2024-10-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want to mountain bike the Annapurna Circuit - this is DEFINITELY the organisation to use. On our trip of around 11 days the rides and the whole experience was flawless - every single rider was attended to and supported - bespoke! The faster riders were able to challenge themselves, but no one was left behind. Every part of the experience was A1 and there is a reason all the reviews are 5 stars. Do yourself a favor and do this experience whilst it's on offer! James King2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding. If you'd like to experience the best supported bike tour, then MTB Nepal should be top of your list. Ajay, Usha, Suraj and the whole team took amazing care of us as we negotiated the Annapurna Circuit. Nothing was too much trouble and they were perfectly willing and able to adapt to the daily changes of the abilities within the group - so that those on a bad day were supported all the way and those who wanted to crush every single metre of road were given free reign. Thanks for a memorable experience! Andrew Sharkey2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our group did a 12 day tour of Annapurna by bike all arranged by Ajay and his team. The whole trip flowed seamlessly from the dinners to accommodation to daily routes and rest points. We had 3 national champions look after us and they ensured that all needs and abilities were catered for. Everything had been thought out and tested. It created an unbelievable adventure which everyone enjoyed. I have no hesitation in recommending Ajay and team. Excellent job well done. Matt Sheridan2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible experience and what a fantastic team at MTB Nepal! What better way to experience the most challenging terrain on earth than with three National MTB champions as you guides and mentors! Ajay and his team know the Annapurna trail and surroundings extremely well and had great work arounds for any kinds of obstacles (flooded road, rock slides etc) that intervened. We had a group with mixed abilities (expert down to novice) but they made it work for us all and we were able to enjoy it as a full group, even on the most challenging of days. Apart from their technical ability, at a personal level, the MTB Nepal team were all extremely friendly, encouraging and motivational. I highly recommend MTB Nepal for this trip! Dana Guidice2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! Such a great trip! From the riding, the scenery, the terrain and the impeccable organization (and the weather) this trip was like no other. Ajay and his team kept 13 guys moving in the right direction for almost 2 weeks and always with a smile on his face. They made a complicated trip very simple....all we really had to do was ride and eat (and drink a little). Airport pickups/dropoffs, hotels, moving bags and pre-ride briefings all went without a hitch. I can't recommend Ajay and his team more highly! Steve Drake2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ajay and his team left no stone unturned in planning and implementing an amazing experience for our group. No request seemed to difficult. They were very focused on making sure we had a great time and stayed safe on a challenging route. Could not recommend more highly. Rupert Griffiths2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our group had an amazing experience thanks to the team at MTB Nepal.The Annapurna circuit was a fantastic and challenging ride. Highly recommended Reid Hamilton2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ajay and his team delivered a flawless custom trip for a large and demanding group. This was the result of significant planning, ongoing discussions prior to arrival to ensure that the group understood the course and preparation, as well as a fantastic attention to detail. Our group had a varied range of experience / skills / personalities which were also well catered for in that the fast and experienced riders were challenged while the slower ones were well supported. We also made changes along the way that Ajay and team skillfully adapted to. My bar for this trip was high but Ajay and team delivered an unforgettable trip that went well beyond my expectations.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
