Mountain Bike Tours & Trips
Imagine tackling Himalayan singletracks where the air's thin and views are mind-blowing. Mountain biking takes you from Nepal's high-altitude trails through Europe's Alps to Andean slopes and North America's Rockies. These aren't roads – they're technical descents and lung-busting climbs through terrain that'll test you. From Himalayan passes to Alpine valleys to Rocky Mountain wilderness, this is adventure on two wheels.

Had a great time! Nice group and excellent tour guide. Sum provided us with lots of local exposure, tastes, language, experiences and knowledge. Activities were also great fun. A well balanced tour.
Cambodia: Hike, Bike & KayakA great tour and very well organised. Son, the tour leader, and his team were excellent and really made the difference to the entire trip. They were helpful, attentive, and made sure that everyone got exactly what they wanted. The activities were well paced, giving everyone the necessary time out from the activities, the local restaurants and food was delicious and suited our fellow travellers who had varied dietary requirements (including vegans). I had a wonderful overall experience in this beautiful country and I definitely will travel with Intrepid again - to Vietnam or elsewhere.

What our customers ask about Mountain Bike Tours & Trips
What accommodation options do Mountain Bike tours offer?
The style of lodging really depends on where you're going. In European destinations like the Loire Valley, you'll stay in nice 4-star hotels like Château Belmont in Tours. If you're doing the Nepal Annapurna Circuit, expect a mix - basic but clean mountain lodges during the trek, then 3-star hotels like the Ayni Cusco when you're in bigger cities. Most places have private bathrooms, though amenities get simpler the more remote you go. One nice thing is you'll usually stay 2-3 nights in each spot, giving you time to settle in.
How many hours will I spend biking each day?
Most days you'll be on your bike about 4-6 hours. In the Loire Valley, you'll cover about 25-37 miles at an easy pace that lets you take in the scenery. The Andorra rides are similar - about 4-5 hours exploring quiet valley roads. Some routes are more challenging though. On the Annapurna Circuit, a TourRadar traveler mentions that "some days we rode up to 31 miles with quite a bit of climbing."
Are meals part of the package?
It varies by tour. The Loire Valley trips include breakfast every day plus some group dinners. In Nepal, all your meals are covered during the trek and you get breakfast in cities. Costa Rica tours typically include 7 breakfasts and 2 lunches, leaving you free to try local spots for other meals. A TourRadar traveler on the Andorra tour said "the food was fantastic with multi-course meals that were perfect for hungry cyclists."
When's the best time of year to go?
It really depends on where you're headed. For the Loire Valley, aim for April through October when it's mild and the trails are dry. The Annapurna Circuit is best in spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) when temps are comfortable and you get clear mountain views. Costa Rica? Book between December and April during dry season when the trails are in good shape. Each place has its sweet spot weather-wise.
What's a typical daily distance?
You'll usually cover between 25-50 miles per day, but it varies with the terrain. Along the Moselle River, expect about 30-43 miles daily on mostly flat paths. The Kathmandu Valley rides are shorter but more challenging - about 20-30 miles with some serious climbs. The good news is there are plenty of breaks. As TourRadar travelers mention, you'll find lots of great viewpoints along the way, so the miles go by pretty quickly.
