Trip Overview

Cycling holiday Adventure with a trip on road to Everest is an amazing bike tour on a new trail. Power required on downhill's are tooth grinding and up hills are not forgiving either.

Cycling adventures to the Everest Base Camp is one of the newest adventure mountainn biking adventures introduced in Nepal allowing the adventure bikers and mountain cycling enthuiastics to exploe the mighty himalayas and surrounding of the popular Everest Base Camp.

We categorically say it is the best route for bike tour to this region without altitude worries. Max. Altitude 2932 meters. The new trail is mostly uphill single stretch nine to twelve kilometers and a diving stern downhill almost same level to what you started with.

The route to 5th camp is total uphill almost 40 Km 2840 meters but manageable. It's funny though, construction of this highway to Solukhumbu started quite sometimes back and it has reached its allotted destination, yet vehicular movement is scarce along this amazing route which is best for cycling.

Most Importantly

Interaction program and fund raising event for Shree Ghyan Jyoti Madhyamic (School) There are 375 children studying in this school. This school was established 53 years ago yet it has no financial recourses. In fact not a single students pay fees to school. One of most underprivileged school in the district, receive only a marginal support from the government. You are welcome to make a personal contribution ... surely needs all form of motivation.

ALTITUDE ACCLIMATIZATION

To get the most from your trek, and to stay safe, it is important to follow acclimatization guidelines. At Makalu Adventure, whenever possible, we follow the acclimatization formula set out by Drs Jim Duff and Peter Gormly; experts in Wilderness Medicine. "Above 2000m, altitude illness is a possibility and above 2500m it becomes common".
"As a rough guide, above 2500m the maximum daily height gain between sleeping altitudes should not exceed 400m, with a rest day every third day or after every 1000m of sleeping ascent".
"Avoid overexertion and breathlessness while acclimatizing, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, salt and protein, your diet should be 70% carbohydrate above 3500m".

Excellent service and a welcome by Makalu Adventure

I've known and worked with Mohan and Makalu Adventure for nearly 15 years. In that time I've led many treks and high altitude expeditions to Nepal (15 expeditions over 8000m and counting). His company provides an excellent service and a welcome that I look forward to every season. The Thamel Eco Resort is a center of tranquility in Kathmandu and the perfect place to start and finish the Himalayan Adventure. The staffs are now like family and I hope to return for many years with the guarantee of safety and security that he offers in the mountains.
