Tibet Custom Tour Cycling Holiday

Cycling in the Tibetan Plateaus is an awe-inspiring experience and a must for all adventure cyclists. After a couple of days exploring Kathmandu we take a dramatic flight across the great Himalayan range to Lhasa: capital of Tibet. This is one of the most interesting, remote and spectacular parts of the world.

 We begin sightseeing and acclimatising before taking a train  to Shigatse where our cycling begins.

Our journey continues across a beautiful landscape of snow-capped summits. There are signs of religious devotion all around us; prayer flags fluttering on the tallest mountain passes, innumerable monasteries and temples with frequent processions of devout pilgrims.

Grading: This trip is designed for the experienced cyclist. The distances and gradient each day are not extreme, but the altitude and terrain make this a tough trip.  Along with the Karakoram Highway this is arguably the most spectacular and varied mountain scenery in the world.

NB: Although it is our intention to operate the itinerary as detailed below, it may be necessary to make some changes because of climatic conditions, alterations to flight schedules or other operational factors.
