Mountain biking in Nepal (Nov.2013)Interest forums / On Your Bike | ||
Hi, | ||
Damn! Shame it is so soon, I can't get there. I have been wanting to do this for ages. Would be awesome What ride are you going to do? | 1 | |
I know too soon right. I've been always like that - last minute adventure trips when barely have time to get ready. I have no idea which route yet. I will figure it out when there ..so I am open to suggestions. My Nepalese friend gonna help me with that. A few years ago I made up to the Muktinath (3750m) from Jomson. Then day by day up and down through Talopani, Kalopani, Beni etc.. This time should be something else. I'd likely do it on my own again but it's always better in company like-minded people!) | 2 | |
Hey what sort of bike are you going to ride? | 3 | |
Full suspension Cube Hanzz Pro. I'm more into downhill but this bike doesn't mind long distances too))) | 4 | |
Hey there. Just wondering what you were able to figure out for a trail and price? I'll be in Nepal Nov 6th and with a open schedule for 30 days. I've completed EBC back in 2011. I'd love to head to the Annapurna region this time. As far as mountain biking goes i may have some difficulties finding a large enough bike.. Being 6'7 does have some major disadvantages when it comes to renting equipment like this. I looked into shipping mine from Canada but that just wasn't worth it. Well hope all is well and let me know how it's been coming along. Chris | 5 | |
Hey Chris! I'm in Kathmandu and still trying to figure out on a trip. I couldn't get out from the city this morning due to strikes. I know a few busses were burned and roads are closed. Let me know if you are still around and haven't decided anything yet. My email nik.tasia@gmail.com | 6 | |
