This holiday offers a 9-day gravel biking adventure from Kathmandu to Pokhara in Nepal. It's a small group tour with prices starting from US $1,999 excluding flights. The tour focuses on gravel biking, a low-impact way to travel. Most journeys are designed so riders travel between regions primarily by bike rather than vehicle. Where vehicles are necessary, shared transport is used and routes are carefully planned to avoid unnecessary driving. The approach promotes lesser-travelled areas of Nepal, especially the mid-hill regions, reducing reliance on mountain flights. Plastic waste is minimized by providing treated or filtered drinking water and encouraging reusable bottles. The company advocates for maintaining traditional trails and supports thoughtful, sustainable road development. They ride only on existing roads and trails, avoiding sensitive environments unless clearly permitted, and guides are trained in Leave No Trace principles. The company also works with local lodges and teahouses that operate within their environment and encourages riders to minimize waste. Ensuring tourism benefits local communities is central to their operation, with the majority of money spent staying within Nepal. They employ local guides, drivers, mechanics, porters, and support staff, prioritizing locally owned accommodation, restaurants, and service providers. They also hire porters, horsemen, and yak herders directly from the regions they travel through. Through their Riders Fund and Gear Library, they reinvest part of their profits into the local cycling community, supporting riders with equipment, spare parts, and grants, and invest in guide training and fair wages.
