Nepal On Bicycle

When we think of Mountain Biking (cycling), what comes in our mind? Windy roads, rough terrain, beautiful scenery, exotic places, cultural settlement and so on. Nepal is even called Mecca for mountain biking as it is rich in all the things a cyclist looks for.

From high mountains to Terai’s plain field, from Hilly terrain to exotic national parks, Nepal is one of the top destinations for cycling enthusiasts around the world. Moreover, Nepal is home to magnificent Natural beauties, traditional and untouched civilizations, rich wildlife, and friendly people. Cycling (biking) around Nepal is one of the best ways to experience its beauty rather than trekking or on a vehicle.

While there are plenty of mountain biking options like Annapurna Circuit, Upper Mustang, Langtang region, etc., Swotah has carefully designed a cycling trail to give you best Nepal experience by including multi cities and villages to give you the better sense of Nepal and adventure. This trail includes all the major touristic places as well as overlooked places that one must visit.
