Pokhara to Kathmandu - Nepal Mountain Bike
By: Jo Milborrow, East Riding of Yorkshire, UK
The office staff were
all brill. I really felt that I knew everything, any questions I had were
answered promptly and correctly. The office staff really know their stuff! The
trip was virtually exactly as described - which in my experience of other companies
isn't usually the case!
The local agent were really brilliant. The organisation far exceeded my
expectations after group trips with other companies. We always knew where we
needed to be and when, and we were always met at the right time in the right
place. The reliability of the organisation took the worry out of the trip.

Enjoyed pretty much all of it. I wanted an adventure and that's what I got! I really feel I got to see and experience the 'real' Nepal and its people. The fact that we rode every single inch between Pokhara and Kathmandu has a genuine sense of achievement.

The cook was a legend. Great variety and all good food. Anyone that can make a pizza on a camping stove deserves a medal! A brilliant trip. The biking far exceeded my expectations.

Your brochure and dossier were excellent and having been on the trip are very accurate in the descriptions of the trails (obviously...), these coupled with Tim's chat and slide show gave me all the information I needed to book the trip, and any queries I had were dealt with swiftly and clearly by the team.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, The Hotel Shankar was a great and unexpected suprise - I didn't know what to expect from the accomodation - I wasn't expecting to stay in such an elegant place in the 1st night! The camping was great - the remote locations of some of the camps. All the crew were really friendly and welcoming and a really good laugh.
Promo, our leader, was great. Really enthusiastic and friendly with great local knowledge. He (and the other guys on the trip) were really patient with me, if I fell behind on climbing sections, offering loads of encouragement when needed (which was most of the time - I really dislike long climbs!)
Overall the trip was up there with the best holidays I've had - great trails in epic scenery with a great group, meeting the friendliest locals on our journey, insane traffic of Kathmandu, rickety suspension bridges and all in top weather. The corker from gorka and ridge riders being definate highlights!
