About 1 Day Kathmandu Cycling Tour

If you have spent a few days exploring the temples and busy streets of Kathmandu, why not try something different? Get on a bicycle and head towards Chobhar and Kirtipur.

Our 1 Day Kathmandu Cycling Tour takes you away from the usual tourist areas and into the southern part of Kathmandu Valley. You will visit Chobhar Gorge, stop at Adinath Temple, and explore the old streets of Kirtipur. Along the way, you will see local houses, small temples, and neighborhoods where people go about their daily lives.

You do not need to be a professional cyclist to join this trip. However, you should be comfortable riding a bicycle for several hours. Your guide will accompany you throughout the tour and help you along the route. It is a good option if you want to spend a day outdoors without leaving Kathmandu Valley.

More Adventure Activities in Nepal

Cycling is just one way to spend time outdoors in Nepal. If you have a few extra days, you can add another activity to your trip. Here are some options worth considering.

Bungee Jumping: Ever wanted to jump off a bridge with a river far below you? Bungee jumping might be the adventure you are looking for. Nepal has several bungee jumping experiences, including options near the Nepal Tibet border and around Pokhara. Each location offers a different setting, so you can choose based on your travel plans.

Canyoning: Canyoning takes you through natural canyons, where you may descend waterfalls, slide over rocks, swim through pools, and rappel down steep sections with the help of trained guides.It is a good option if you enjoy water and do not mind getting wet. The experience depends on the location, weather, and water conditions, so check the requirements before booking.

Paragliding in Pokhara: Want to see the mountains from the air? Try paragliding in Pokhara. Most tandem flights take off from Sarangkot and offer views of Phewa Lake, the surrounding hills, and the Annapurna range when the weather is clear. You fly with a trained pilot, so you do not need previous paragliding experience. If Pokhara is part of your Nepal itinerary, this is an activity worth adding to your plans.

White Water Rafting: Nepal's rivers offer rafting trips for different experience levels. Some trips are suitable for beginners, while others involve more challenging rapids. You can choose a short rafting trip or spend several days on the river, depending on how much time you have. The best option depends on the river, season, and water conditions.

Trekking in Nepal: If you want to spend more time in the mountains, Nepal has trekking routes for different fitness levels and time limits. You could choose a short hike near Kathmandu, a few days in the Annapurna region, or a longer trek towards Everest. The right route depends on your available time, budget, and how much walking you want to do.

Best Time for 1 day Kathmandu Cycling Tour

You can enjoy the Kathmandu Cycling Tour throughout the year, but spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are generally the best seasons. Early morning is a great time to start cycling, as the weather is cooler and you can ride before the daytime heat sets in. Evening rides can also be pleasant, depending on the season and available daylight. During the summer, midday temperatures can make cycling tiring, so starting early is a better option. The monsoon season (June to August) brings frequent rainfall, which can make roads slippery and disrupt your plans. Winter (December to February) is usually drier, but mornings can be quite cold, so dress in warm layers before heading out. Whatever time of year you visit, check the weather forecast before your ride.

    Professional, efficient and friendly tour agency

    We are very happy to know Kisan at the airport. We contacted him to arrange for a cultural dinner show and immediately he arranged his good assistant Ram, to meet us at our hotel and walked us there. The price quoted was reasonable.
    We subsequently used their transport service to bring us to Dhulikhel, a 2 hours journey from our Kathmandu guest house.

    From Dhilikhel, we communicated w Kisan to arrange a car to pick us to return to Kathmandu city, enroute Patan. Their driver Osok & Visnu is very experienced and patient. The car is reasonably comfortable too. We visited Dhukuti, Mahaguti & Jawalakhrl with many good buys and a wonderful lunch.

    On our return to Kathmandu, Kisan arranged a driver and a good guide Ari who is a qualified guide to bring us to the places we wanted: 1) Swayambhunath Stupa 2) Durba Square 3) Boudhanath 4) Lunch near Boudhanath 5) Sherpa Adventure gear shopping.

    We want to thank Kisan & Ram for their excellent service to us and helping us locate a lost passport too.

    Its because of people in Good Vibes Adventure that Visit Nepal 2020 will be a roaring success!

    Thank you!
