Nepal 's diverse terrain is what mountain biker's dreams are made of. Biking offers an environmentally sound way of exploring the country. It is possible to go biking the entire length of Nepal . Centuries-old dirt roads and trails offer a chance to go on extended trips to exotic locales like Annapurna and Kanchanjunga areas. 21 to 27 gear bicycles are recommended when riding through tough terrain. Mountain bikes are available for rent by day or longer in the numerous bicycle rental outlets in and around Kathmandu or Pokhara. Riders can explore rims and ridges of Kathmandu and Pokhara through off routes that weave in and out of the cities. Food and accommodation are easily available around the Valley and the main trail. However, it is recommended to use the services of licensed biking companies.
