The Katmandou valley offers a wealth of day-trip possibilities for all skill levels. Mountain biking through the valley guides you to summits of 2200 meters, with stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan chain. Cycling through the valley's semi-rural villages far from the beaten tourist path, exploring the jungles of national parks, getting lost among rice paddies—there are hundreds of kilometers of trails waiting to be discovered!

It's certainly more original than conquering Mont Ventoux!
