Definitely, not for the faint-hearted. Averaging an altitude of above 4000m, the lofty Tibet offers a fancy playground for global adventurers. Though no one knows exactly when and who brings the mania for the mountain biking in Tibet, for intrepid cyclists, the vast expanse of untamed wilderness, the big name of Mt. Everest and exotic Buddhist culture are definitely something not to be missed for a thrilling ride. In fact, Tibet abounds with adrenaline-rushed cycling routes, thanks to the improved road condition and extended highways across Tibet in recent years. For passionate cyclists, you have many options.

If you travel with your family, you can enjoy the relaxing ride with your kids in downtown Lhasa and along enchanting Lhasa River. By enjoying the great flexibility brought by cycling, you can tour the must-visited sites, one after another, like Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, etc and pedal your bike along the picturesque Lhasa River, running gently through Lhasa valley.

Of course, to those who want to push their limit to a whole new level and enjoy the quintessential Himalayan scenery, of all the classic rides in Tibet, the epic ride from Lhasa to EBC and later even to Kathmandu via Sino-Nepal Friendship Highway definitely proves to be the best choice for you.
