Everest by Bike

............................................................................................................

Head out to the Himalaya and ride your bike up to Mt Everest’s North Face! The journey starts in Lhasa where we spend a few days acclimatizing before heading out on the southern (scenic) road to Kathmandu. As soon as Mt Everest appears on the horizon we leave the highway and cross our seventh pass to finish the ride facing Mt Everest’s infamous North Face. You can supersize this ride by joining our Lhasa to Kathmandu tour.
