Lhasa to Kathmandu - Escorted Cycling
It's time to brush the cobwebs from your bike and throw some oil on the chain. Add a little fitness, a sprig of time and a sense of adventure and you are then ready to join me cycling from Lhasa to Kathmandu. I just love the sense of freedom you get travelling by bike. Carbon credits aplenty on this ride! There is no better way to experience a country than from the saddle.
In 1999 I cycled down the Karakorum Highway from China into Pakistan, in 2002 my bicycle took me to Sri Lanka and in 2004 it was Leh to Manali in India (one of the hardest journeys I have done). One of the best years of my life was spend cycling from Scotland to through Europe, Turkey, Pakistan, India, Nepal and South East Asia and then Perth to Sydney.
So why not join me, Colin Hood, for that cycle journey you have always wanted to do but just never found the time?
