About this trip

Trip Overview

Upper Mustang, Nepal is more than just about mountain biking; it’s about discovering the culture, seeing breathtaking scenery, meeting friendly heart-warming people and so much more. The permit fee for Upper Mustang is $500, but we promise you will get 5 million times worth of amazement and experience from this trip. Venture into a land where Nomads herd yaks in the high pastures, ponies carry your luggage, rosy cheeked locals toil the arid soil to earn a living, where Tibetan culture is almost untouched by civilization and add to this some of the BEST mountain biking terrain in the world. Put simply this trip showcases the very best Mountain Biking that the Himalaya has to offer!


This trip coincides with the spectacular Tiji Festival held in Lo-Mantang, Upper Mustang. The Tiji festival is one of the must-see festivals that reflect the age old customs and life style of the people of Lo. The festival is celebrated at the beginning of the annual crop harvest and it is believed that the colorful celebrations dispel any demons that could jeopardize the harvest. 

Along with the festival, this trip traverses through stunning landscapes and epic trails- truly an amazing journey on our bikes.


We will have vehicle support on this trip to carry our gear from village to village and also limit the amount of climbing on the jeep roads. This also means that if you have a friend that wants to join who doesn’t mountain bike, they can come along and do a hiking version of this trip at the same time! The mountain bike group and hiking group will follow similar routes and meet up in each village every afternoon.

I had such an amazing experience on this trip combining 2 things that I love the most: bike riding and animals (and friends)!!! It was a bit rugged at certain points but so much more immersive than I thought was possible on a Safari. Our 2 guides: Joe & Elliot were beyond amazing. So knowledgeable and I felt completely safe with their guidance & supervision. The food was incredible, the staff at the 3 camping sites were incredible. All in all 10 star vacation!!! Would love to do this again in the future.

We just completed an unforgettable trip with Yuri, Gato, and Claudia, and it was truly the BEST experience! From start to finish, Yuri and the team made me feel completely safe while still delivering an exhilarating adventure through Peru's stunning trails. The routes were challenging yet perfectly matched to our skill level, and anytime we needed help with the trail or our bikes, they were always right there, ready to assist. Their expertise with the bikes and trails was impressive, but what made this trip truly special was Yuri's deep knowledge and passion for Peruvian culture. He didn’t just guide us through the terrain—he taught us about the rich history and traditions of the region, which made the trip so much more meaningful. In fact, learning about the culture became as memorable as the riding itself. And considering this was a BIKE trip, that's saying something! Yuri and Claudia also took incredible photos throughout the trip, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the ride without worrying about capturing every moment. I actually went on the same trip last year (which was amazing in its own right), but this time felt like a completely new adventure. What truly set this trip apart, was how they transformed two groups of strangers into one close-knit family. It was such a blast riding with our new friends that we’re already planning future bike trips together! It’s rare to find such genuine connections on a trip like this—it was truly a magical experience, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to Peru.

This was truly the trip of a lifetime! Julie @ World Ride was a great facilitator throughout booking and preparations and the team at Horizon Mashatu were top notch tour guides. The riding was fun, and just enough miles to make you feel like you did *something* that day to offset all of the wonderful food we were fed. Mosa and Elliot picked great routes for riding which were well aligned with the skill level of the group, and made sure we got to see all of the animals we dreamed of. I plan to return someday. If you do book through World Ride, which I recommend because of the good work they are doing, ask Julie if there is an option to stay an additional day. We were a mixed group (World Ride and Horizon) and were very disappointed to find out that the Horizon bookies got to stay an extra day. You might have to pay extra, but its worth it. When you get there you'll never want to leave!

The Botswana mtb safari is hands down the best trip I have ever taken! I felt completely safe with our guides, the food was incredible and the riding was so much fun. It was the perfect combo of riding, animals, and adventure. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat.
