Tibetan Bike Ride

WHAT YOU WILL SEE & EXPERIENCE
Cycling across Tibet is a journey through some of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring landscapes on Earth. Vast open plateaus stretch beneath towering Himalayan peaks, while winding mountain roads climb through high passes adorned with colourful prayer flags fluttering in the wind.
The route passes through traditional Tibetan towns and villages where centuries-old customs remain an important part of everyday life.
