Guide

Guide You will be led by a local English-speaking guide and if the group is 9 people or more we will add another guide to the tour. All our guides are well informed in the history, culture and religions of the area where you are biking and are skilled at passing that knowledge on to you. Your guide is also medically trained and an experienced cyclist, able to handle most minor repairs en route.

Transport

Airport pick up Airport drop off Support vehicle Exploring new rides on your own bike is half the fun of adventuring on two wheels, and SpiceRoads accommodates all riders and their bikes on our trips. For those who prefer not to travel with their bike however, we have Giant mountain bikes available for hire. Hardtail models are 2018 Giant Fathoms with lightweight aluminum frames, hydraulic disk brakes, 650b/27.5" tires, and Suntour front suspension with 120mm of travel. For riders ready to enjoy the ride to the fullest, we recommend hiring a full suspension Giant Trance 2, with a lightweight aluminum frame, hydraulic disk brakes, 650b/27.5" tires, and Fox Float dual suspension with 150mm of travel in the front and 140mm in the rear. If you bring your own bike, please ensure it is a mountain bike with front suspension, in good mechanical order.

Accommodation

For trips in the Himalaya, accommodation is limited to local guesthouses, or “teahouses.” Himalayan teahouses are simple, family-run operations that provide full room and board for guests. Due to the remote location of the high Himalaya, and the fact that all supplies must be carried in on foot, facilities are basic. Nearly all rooms are twin share, with shared toilet and bathing facilities throughout the guesthouse. Hot water usually must be prepared in advance. Meals are served in the main common area of the teahouse, usually heated by a wood (or dung) stove. Travelers can usually charge devices in the common area, as rooms are not equipped with power outlets. Rooms are not heated, but we’ll provide 4 season sleeping bags to keep you toasty during the cold mountain nights!
