- Overview:
- This is the most difficult mountain bike ride in the world, and we’re not just saying it for mere advertisement. This extraordinary ride will take you to some of the most beautiful places in the planet. This legendary 200 kilometer circuit circles the Annapurna massif in Nepal. Many bike routes lay claim to the title of the World’s Greatest — the Highlands in Scotland, the Trans-Alps in Europe and the Inca Trail in Peru are a few. But none of those are epics through valleys surrounded by five-mile-high peaks, staying every night in teahouses run by local villagers and stocked with good kitchens, cold beer and Snickers bars. The Annapurna Epic marries natural grandeur, cultural immersion and relative luxury in a union found nowhere else.
