Introduction
Upper Mustang Mountain Biking invites for a memorable biking experience along the Himalayan treks. It is an unexplored kingdom that lies in the central part of Nepal. It has been recently opened for the public access in 1992 before which it was completely isolated from the other parts of the world. Even today, you need a special permit to visit this amazing region and pay a high fee of US$500. However, the fee does not seem to be much when you explore the thrill and adventure or riding along the Himalayan treks.

The road to Upper Mustang passes through various small villages and towns that are popular for the spectacular view of the surroundings, landscapes, monasteries and friendly monks. You get to ride on the beautiful .rivers, valleys and edge of the mountains and plateaus. As you ride towards the Upper Mustang kingdom, you come across numerous passes, rivers and old bridges. One of the best things that you can experience is the culture and lifestyle of the people in Tibet. The ride to one of the best parts of the world is full of adventure and sightseeing that will continue to amaze you at every step. The view of the mountain peaks of the Annapurna region is one of the main attractions of the trip.

We began our Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek on April 26, 2025, and it was truly a journey of a lifetime. Huge thanks to Raj, Pralad, and the entire Adventure Mountain Trek team for taking such wonderful care of us throughout our Himalayan adventure. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and well looked after. The team's warmth, knowledge, and professionalism made our 10-day trek not only smooth but incredibly enjoyable. We were absolutely spoiled — with hearty laughs, rich stories and history about the region, cozy accommodations, and most importantly, amazing food every step of the way! This trek will remain one of our most cherished travel experiences, and it's all thanks to this amazing crew. I will definitely be recommending Adventure Mountain Trek to my friends and loved ones. Nepal, we’re not done yet — I’ll be back for more soon! Thank you again for everything!
I feel like we were extremely lucky on this trip taking into account all help we've got from Pradip and his team. Traveling in Covid times is hard enough on it's own, still we had problems occuring all the time. Pradip was very helpful on every step of the travel. Sometimes I even think he never sleeps))) He went above and beyond to help our groups with all necessary paperwork to get to Nepal. Transportation, guide, porters, everything was organised without any problems. But the most memorable thing for me was Pradip's personal involvement in situation when we needed to get to Kathmandu from our trekking ASAP due to lockdown restrictions. As well as get our PCR-tests in one of the hospitals in KTM. Everything went as smooth as it possibly could on this journey. And who travelled to Nepal at least once, knows that something unexpected may happen suddenly at any moment:) Pradip was always in touch checking every step of our journey. I highly recommend hiring Pradip and services of his agency! I've tried services of couple travel agents in Nepal and have something to compare to. He is safe, supportive and very reliable partner in Nepal. And what else do you need to have great adventure.

Oct 2024 I booked EBC with 2 pass(Chola and Renjola Pass) trek. They arranged everything from Kathmandu to Kathmandu in a very efficient way. The guide they allotted Mr. Bhim Rai was an excellent and experienced guide. I am impressed and do recommend Adventure Mountain Treks for trips in Nepal.
Pralad is the best guide one could ask for! We did EBC trek, beginning of December feels like best period to do this.

EBC Trek with Helicopter Return Oct 2022 • Friends A great trip. Well organised, our Guide Shyam had been very helpful. One of us ended up needing a horse and it was promptly managed. Starting from accomodation, food and helicopter ride back to Kathmandu, everything was pretty seamless. There were some places which could have been improved, but overall a reliable and fantastic trekking service which I will definitely recommend. All the best to future endeavours for Adventure Mountain Treks.
