Mustang Mountain Biking Tour: A 10-Day Himalayan Ride
A 10-day mountain biking tour to Mustang allows you to explore the natural fantasies of Nepal around Pokhara and Jomsom, Muktinath, via a biking adventure.
Nepal is a country stacked with many natural sites, and mountain biking is a nature sport that introduces you to these different areas. Exploring people, their day-to-day lives, roads, ravines, fantastic mountain views, etc. against the backdrop of beautiful scenery is one of the most fruitful trips in Nepal one can ever have.
The mountain biking tour of Mustang starts from the urban town of Pokhara and traverses several landscapes, including Jomsom and Kagbeni, then to quaint and pristine sites like Muktinath, Tukuche, Tatopani, and Beni.
Pokhara is a picturesque city that sits in the lap of the Himalayas. The lush hills, verdant forests, and pristine environment are the attractions of the valley. The mountains around the city have some incredible viewpoints that offer magnificent views of the mountains. Among them, Sarangkot is a stunning viewpoint that lies just above the town and offers some panoramic views of mountains in the Annapurna range.
And Jomsom, which lies north of Pokhara, uncovers Nepal’s astounding decent variety. The profound valleys and high mountains grasp a broad scope of people, groups, and territory, from subtropical wilderness to a top-dry scene at the one end of the Annapurna Circuit trail. It’s worth visiting on a mountain bike.
A sightseeing trip to Kathmandu is what the mountain biking holiday in Nepal begins with. The city exhibits the rich culture, tradition, and religion of the people. Everyone would love to explore the grand palaces, temples, stupas, and monasteries.
During the mountain bike tour in Kathmandu, we visit the UNESCO-listed heritage sites, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. The sightseeing tour covers the ancient history of Nepal, along with some insights into Hinduism and Buddhism.
From Kathmandu, we take a drive along scenic rural terrain along the Trishuli River to Pokhara city, the center of Nepal’s tourism. As soon as we reach downtown, we will have an excursion around the lakeside and bless our eyes with the magnificent views of Mt. Machhapuchhre. The vibrancy of the city and the pristine air make the trip very appealing. Besides the late-night wonder, live music, and excellent food, one can never get enough of Pokhara.
As we proceed with the Mustang Mountain Biking Tour Package, we take a scenic flight to Jomsom. In just 25–30 minutes, we will land at the airport in Jomsom.
Jomsom differs from Pokhara in terms of terrain and landscape. The area is dry and secluded. As a biker, the tough tracks of the place will immediately catch your eye.
Moving forward with our veritable Mustang mountain biking tour, we assemble our gear and ride through the streets of Jomsom. We follow a pedaling trail along the Kaligandaki gorge, enjoying the scenic views of mountains and rocky terrain and experiencing authentic Tibetan culture.
A mountain bike ride to Muktinath (3710 m) and back
Further, the mountain biking tour in Mustang will get more exciting and adventurous. The trail is tough and rocky, but biking is fun if the path is not challenging.
Admiring the awe-inspiring views of mountains in the desert-like rocky terrain, we make our way up to Muktinath. There is a famous and holy temple of Lord Vishnu in Muktinath. The site is promising for both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims and is also famous for its religious significance and the picturesque views of the mountains.
After a beautiful ride to Muktinath, we drop the trail and ride through some fantastic landscapes. We pass beautiful villages like Marpha and make our way to Tukuche. It’s an incredible experience to ride along one of the best mountain biking trails in the world and also to treat yourself to the warm hospitality of local people in those areas’ authentic communities.
While Marpha is famous for its apple orchard and local brandy, Thakali (a popular Nepali cuisine) is the memory of Tukuche. Further, we continue our mountain biking tour in Mustang with a drive to Tatopani and then to Beni. At Tatopani, you can enjoy a hot water bath in the natural hot water springs. You can relax and soothe your tired nerves with a hot water bath. It acts as an ailment for your tiresome mountain biking tour in Nepal.
At Beni, we will pick you up in a vehicle. The vehicle will drive us to Pokhara.

Excellent solo Nar Phu Valley Trek with Heaven Himalaya
Just completed the Nar Phu Valley Trek as a solo traveler and couldn't be happier with how it was organized.From the start, communication was clear. A proper pre-trip gear check meant I knew exactly what I needed and what the guide would provide. They arranged a sleeping bag and trekking poles for hire, which saved me carrying my own.Accommodation throughout felt genuine and welcoming rather than touristy, a real Nepalese experience rather than a tourist-trail one. Transport to and from the trailhead was reliable and comfortable.What really stood out was my guide Hari's ability to read my pace. Early on I struggled a bit with the altitude, and he slowed things right down without making it a big deal. Once I'd acclimatized, we picked up the pace significantly. Hari was genuinely flexible day to day depending on how I was feeling, rather than sticking rigidly to a fixed itinerary.I also picked up a stomach bug partway through the trek. Hari talked through the options with me calmly and…

Second time in Nepal with Heaven Himalaya
This is my second time in Nepal with Heaven Himalaya & I am writing this with gratitude & appreciation for my guide Hari, my porter Arun, as well as the entire team.This was meant to be my birthday trip, I had requested to summit EBC on the actual day of my birthday (29/5/2026), and i made it happen with the help & support of Hari and Arun.Hari has been very thoughtful and attentive throughout the trip, making sure to constantly ask/check if I’m feeling okay as we ascended to higher altitudes.As it got colder higher up on the mountains, Hari thoughtfully delivered hot water to my room every night to help me deal with the extremely cold nights.On my birthday itself, Hari also resourcefully brought a “Happy Birthday” candle which he got from Namche to the summit, and we created our own birthday “cake” using the candle and an apple. That was a very beautiful memory & amazing experience.As I was traveling alone as a female, Hari also did his best to find me the most comfortable accommodat…

EBC Hike in May 2026
Last month in May 2026, I did the Everest Base Camp hike with Heaven Himalaya, and it was absolutely amazing. From the start they made everything easy . My guide Bishal, which he said meant thulo in nepali was so helpful and patient; he knew everything about the trail and mountains and also made us laugh all the time.Our porter Krishna was a star! He carried our bags without complaining and always had a smile, telling us funny stories in the evenings. I don't know what we would have done without him.The trek itself was so hard but so worth it. The views are just mindblowing; waking up every morning to see the mountains covered in snow is something I will never forget. Bishal and Krishna made sure we were safe and happy all the way.Reaching Kala Patthar at sunrise was unreal, seeing Everest in the golden light was like a dream. Bishal and Krishna were there with us every step, cheering us on and making it so special.I would absolutely recommend Heaven Himalaya for everyone. They are no…

Exceptional Service and a Birthday to Remember
They say the mountains humble you, but what I didn't expect was how deeply the people of Nepal would touch my heart.Couldn't have asked for a better crew for our Everest Base Camp - Cho La Pass - Gokyo adventure. From day one, Shankar, Ganesh, Dawa, and Prince treated us with so much kindness, patience, and care that it never felt like we were just another hiking group to them.They became our family in the mountains.Our guide, Shankar, was exceptional. Calm, knowledgeable, dependable, and always looking out for us every step of the way. He knew the mountains like the back of his hand and made us feel safe even during the toughest parts of the trek. When weather conditions in Lukla became unpredictable and visibility was poor, he immediately took action and arranged a helicopter to Kathmandu so we wouldn't miss our international flights. In moments of stress, that level of leadership and quick thinking means everything.It was my birthday during the trek, so I felt incredibly special wh…

Unforgettable First Trek to Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill
We had an amazing experience with Heaven Himalaya for our first trekking trip to Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill. We were actually recommended to them by a friend, and we’re incredibly thankful we chose to go with them. It was truly an unforgettable 2 weeks in Nepal.Our guide, Hari, was attentive, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the journey. He was constantly on the ball, supporting us every step of the way and helping to adjust the itinerary whenever needed. Despite a few slight hiccups during the trip, he remained calm, flexible, and proactive in making arrangements to ensure everything went smoothly.Our porter, Anis, was also incredibly reliable and supportive throughout the trek. He consistently checked in on us and made sure our needs were always taken care of along the way.A special thank you as well to Ram, who was very helpful in coordinating everything behind the scenes and ensuring the trip ran smoothly from start to finish.Beyond the trek…

Truly Unforgettable!!!
My friend and I booked the 14 day Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake trek. The whole experience was amazing. Ram made it easy to alter the trip to our specific needs. We added flights, cut off 2 days of trekking, requested single rooms, and he quickly got us a quote and booked! Hari was our guide on the trek and he was fantastic! He attended to all our needs and safely guided us for the entire time. He did an excellent job of getting us the best rooms, served our meals every day, and did everything in his power to make sure us old men(63 and 74) made it over the Pass! Our porter, Denise, was equally impressive! I still don't know how he carried our bags for 10 days! Clear blue skies, endless views, majestic mountains, deep river valleys, friendly people, a truly unforgettable trip!!!
Best Time for Mountain Biking Tour in Nepal
The best time for a mountain biking tour in Mustang, Nepal is during the spring or autumn season.
March to May and September to November is the perfect time to explore Nepal’s fantasies and the Nepalese mountains in the Annapurna region. The views are unlimited; the weather is dry and accurate during this time.
Monsoon is a big no for this tour because the mountain biking trails get muddy and slippery because of excessive rain.
Also, winter is impossible for mountain biking as the path is full of snow.
