"Bike the Annapurna Circuit including the Thorong La pass at 5,416m — one of mountain biking's great expeditions"
A serious mountain biking expedition around the Annapurna massif, including the crossing of Thorong La (5,416m) — one of the highest passes ever crossed on a bike. The full circuit takes 10-12 days with multiple high passes, riverside descents, and rough doubletrack/singletrack. Best for experienced riders comfortable with multi-day touring, high altitudes, and technical descents. Many tours use the new road sections for ascents and singletrack for descents.
