Mountain Bike Tours
For brands, shops & filmmakers (B2B)
Need a rock-solid local partner in Nepal? We handle end-to-end mountain bike logistics: route design and recces, permits (film/park/drone), fixers and translators, vehicles and freight, safety planning and med cover, accommodations, and on-bike guides. We’re used to tight schedules, high altitude, and big expectations—delivering for campaigns, athlete shoots, content trips, and product launches. If you need talent, we can source elite local riders and crew. In short: you focus on the story; we’ll make the mountains move.
For individual riders & small groups (B2C)
Looking for a personal MTB holiday in the Himalayas? We don’t sell retail MTB trips directly. Instead, we refer you to our retail partner, H+ Adventures—the leading tour company in the world—who run exceptional rider-focused itineraries. You’ll get the same world-class routes, safety standards, and local expertise, packaged for a seamless vacation. To explore dates and book, please visit the link below.

A multiple-time Nepali Downhill Champion and National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurer of the Year, he turned a self-built “Franken-bike” into early podiums and a professional career. His rise hit screens in Joey Schusler’s short film RJ Ripper, introducing global audiences to his speed and style.

He founded Himalayan Rides and has guided for international outfitters, championing responsible access and local partnerships. His work appears in films and features, and he has raced events like Megavalanche, the Enduro World Series, and Crankworx.
