Nagarkot Downhill Mountain Biking Trek

Biking is one of the best ways to tour a countryside, allowing you to get some great exercise while visiting beautiful destinations. This four hour bike trek at Nagarkot Hill starts with a meet up at Kathmandu before you depart just at the rim of the valley to the top of the hill. Your instructor will give you the appropriate briefing in biking, the route, and the safety precautions necessary before you begin the journey, heading downhill and through the forests. In the beautiful foliage and greenery, you'll get the best experience of the countryside, allowing you to thoroughly enjoy the beauty of nature around you. Through the trails, you'll reach the local rural villages and farms, where you'll see the locals at every day life. They maintain a traditional lifestyle in growing their crops, raising flocks and creating traditional handicrafts. It's a great chance to get a look into the local culture of the area in comparison the the city. Your ride will take you to Bhaktapur, a special location that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Translating as “Place of Devotees”, this ancient city has beautifully preserved palace courtyards, temples, wood and metal artworks: essentially a treasure trove of local cultural and religious items. Your biking trek is capped off by a lunch at one of the local restaurants (a great opportunity to try local cuisine) before you head back to your hotel back in Kathmandu on your own.
