A sporty traveler looking for some real biking adventure can vie to bike along the "Roof of the World" on aMountain Biking in Tibet trail connecting the two mystic and beautiful cities; Lhasa - a capital located at the highest altitude in the world and Kathmandu valley, the capital of Nepal.

Beginning from Lhasa (3607m), you traverse an almost 1,000km-long trail crossing six panoramic passes, enjoying the scenic landscape and the rich Tibetan culture. Depending on your individual stamina and time you can either stop biking at the border town of Kodari or continue riding up to Kathmandu.

You need to take a flight to Lhasa from Kathmandu, before you start rolling down the trail. After enjoying the scenic trans-Himalayan flight, you can bike around the historic Lhasa valley as you stop there a few days to acclimatize with the highland desert climate. The great Potala palace, the sacred Jokhang Temple, the market around Barkor and the rich Tibetan architecture easily entice you.

Then, you begin on the great adventure of rolling along the trail following the Nepal-China Friendship Highway and occasionally biking off the highway to visit attractive destinations like Everest Base Camp, Qomolongma Wildlife Reserve and Sakya monastery on the way. You will be provided with support vehicles so that you can bike as per your stamina and complete the remaining journey of the day on a vehicle.

The biking trail is parallel to the north of the Himalayan range and passes through some towns like Gyantse, Shigatse and Shegar, some of which have famous monasteries.
