Enjoy a scenic journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara—Nepal’s lakeside adventure hub. Travel options include a comfortable private vehicle. Along the way, take in views of rivers, terraced fields, and distant mountains. Upon arrival in Pokhara, settle in by the peaceful Phewa Lake, surrounded by the stunning Annapurna range.

Wake early for sunrise and mountain views before heading to the airport. A short 22-minute flight takes us from Pokhara to Jomsom, offering stunning aerial views of Dhaulagiri and the Himalayas. After landing at the high-altitude airstrip, we enjoy breakfast and prepare the bikes. We then drive up to the remote village of Phylak (approx. 3,100m) and start riding above the village at a relaxed pace to acclimatize. Our destination for the day is the beautiful village of Kagbeni, where we’ll stay and base ourselves for the next few nights.

This is what Mustang riding is all about—carving down the epic trails of Lubra Valley. Each descent drops nearly 2,000m into the Kali Gandaki basin, packed with fast flow, tight switchbacks, and loose, thrilling terrain.

We shuttle from Kagbeni and ride the ridge line twice, soaking in high-altitude vibes and stunning views. The day ends in the quiet village of Khinga, where we stay at a cozy local teahouse.

After breakfast, we head back toward Lubra on a higher trail near Gangapurna, reaching a ridge after about 1.5 hours of steady riding and some hike-a-bike. Surrounded by towering peaks, we drop into a thrilling 7 km singletrack descent to Lubra Village. A jeep track follows, then a short climb to Dhumba Lake. From there, a cliffside trail leads to Tinigoan, where we drive up to ride the fun, flowy Jomsom Tower trail. We finish the day pedaling along the river to Marpha for the night. Some sections today are exposed and technical—built for confident riders.

From Marpha, we cross a suspension bridge and climb about 3 km to Titi Lake. A fun, flowing trail winds down through pine forest to Kalopani, then connects to a rugged jeep track for a thrilling 1,200m descent to Tatopani. Expert riders can take on a steep, technical stone staircase instead. From Tatopani, we drive back to Pokhara, arriving in time to relax with BBQ and beers at Silk Road.

Enjoy a short and scenic 30-minute flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu, offering stunning aerial views of the Himalayas. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.
