About This Tour
Join us on an unforgettable high-altitude adventure through the heart of Tibet. The Epic Tibet Cycling Tour takes you from the vibrant city of Chengdu to the breathtaking Potala Palace in Lhasa, climbing to over 5,200 meters on the highest paved roads in the world. This 12-day cycling expedition combines adventure, culture, and natural beauty — from the turquoise Yamdrok Lake to the mighty Mount Everest Base Camp. There is no other ride as high — and as epic — as this one. You will pedal on the highest paved roads in the world, visit ancient monasteries with Everest in the background, and earn lifelong bragging rights. Over 12 unforgettable days, Epic Tibet takes riders through lesser-known routes, untouched landscapes, and authentic Tibetan villages. "Imagine riding from summer to winter in the span of just two hours." From Day 2 onwards, we'll constantly be above 2,800 m, climbing gradually until we reach Gyatso La Pass at 5,240 m. The daily rides bring us from lush forests to high-altitude deserts as we travel from east to west Tibet. On most of the route, foreigners are warmly welcomed by locals like rockstars.
