The Annapurna Circuit (Bikepacking Route)

comment 36 time Jun 22 compose Guest Routes  Asia

The Annapurna Circuit is one of the world's most beautiful high-altitude hiking trails, winding its way through some of Nepal's tallest mountains and encircling Annapurna I, which towers at 26,545 feet (8,091m). The route itself tops out at an astounding 17,769 feet (5,416m) as it crosses Thorung La Pass. What it lacks in oxygen, the Annapurna Circuit delivers in expansive views, diverse environments, and straightforward logistics...

The Bartang Valley, Tajikistan

comment 46 time Mar 12 compose Guest Routes  Asia

The most adventurous way across the Pamirs, the Bartang Valley offers the best of Central Asia – sublime remoteness, high mountains and wild desert moonscapes, legendary hospitality, physical difficulty, and more than a little bit of danger.

The Border Roads, Tibet

comment 23 time Jun 29 compose Guest Routes  Asia

A high altitude, multi-day, dirt-road bikepacking route though the Kham region of Tibet taking in incredible mountain scenery, Buddhist temples, and genuine Tibetan culture... all outside the restricted Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR).

Tian Shan Traverse, Kyrgyzstan

comment 185 time Nov 29 compose Joe Cruz  Asia

Kyrgyzstan soars to every superlative and defies you to invent new ones. It’s beautiful, culturally compelling, and physically challenging: Grass carpet single and double track for days through rolling river valleys between 5,000 meter snow covered peaks, delirious mountain passes with the clack and rattle of scree under tires, and friendly and outgoing nomadic horsemen herding sheep and cattle. This central asian country will race your heart and is a dreamscape for adventurous cyclists.

Khangai Mountains Traverse, Mongolia

comment 43 time Sep 10 compose Cass Gilbert  Asia

Mongolia is a backcountry bikepacker's paradise. For a start, just ten percent of its network of roads is paved. Next up, it's one of the least densely populated countries in the world. Best of all, land use is shared. This means you can both ride and camp almost anywhere you like; outside of towns, there's not a fenceline to be seen. Traffic is similarly scarce. For the most part, it's rare to pass more than a few vehicles a day.

Tso Kar – Tso Moriri: Bikepacking the Indian Himalaya

comment 1 time Sep 3 compose The Pikes  Asia

The ancient Kingdom of Ladakh is a fascinating Buddhist region in the Indian Himalaya. Linking the lakes of Tso Kar and Tso Moriri, this bikepacking route follows a traditional walking trail through the wilderness Rupshu area of south-east Ladakh, through rolling terrain that makes biking a great choice.
