Mountain biking on the top of the world offers (among others) a unique rides through the legendary Annapurna Circuit, lower and upper Mustang, Jomsom, Muktinath, Langtang and around Manaslu. Adrex.com decided to start the mapping of the area in the city of Pokhara. Set idylically on the shores of Lake Phewa, Pokhara lies at the foot of the Annapurna range and it is the place where you can explore the diverse Pokhara valley, with all its interconnecting spurs and ridges, and are offered a variety of riding styles. The riding is multi-terrain with fast single-track trough jungle, farming villages, deep gorges, raging river valleys and past tranquil lakes. Pokhara is the antithesis of the bustle of Kathmandu, and is the perfect tonic before heading off into the big mountain on the next part of your trip.

Jomsom Downhills

Our first tip for a great adventure begins with an early morning flight from Pokhara into the heart of the Himalayas, landing at a remote airstrip in the village of Jomsom. Jomsom is located at an altitude of 2800m in Mustang District, Nepal. Although only half an hour in flying time from Pokhara, you are transported into a different world. Getting off the plane, the lunar landscape in Jomsom is in stark contrast to the verdant Pokhara valley. Expect truly excellent trails with almost no traffic. You can choose from a several MTB companies and a large number or tracks surrouding both Jomsom and Pokhara. Adrex.com recommends taking more advice from Pokhara Mountain Bike Center.
