In the Annapurna Circuit Trek route there are two iconic villages. They are Manang and Mustang. The village of Mustang is divided into two sections as Upper Mustang and Lower Mustang. If you want to visit Upper Mustang then you will have to purchase restricted area permit! Once you reach Chame via Tal from Besisahar, cycling becomes challenging. The cycling road is okay as it is also used by four wheel jeep but the increasing altitude and bumpy road make it hard for cyclists to easily ride in this section. However, this is the most intersting and memorable section to cycle.
While crossing the Thorong La Pass 5416 m Via the world’s highest Tilicho Lake, you can’t cycle all the way up to top. You will have to push or carry your cycle to the top. However, you can paddle around the top freely and click pictures along with your bicycle at the top. Imagine you are with your cycle at an altitude of 5420 m from sea level and you are getting opportunity to click picture overlooking snowy mountains. Moreover, downhill cycling from top of the Thorong La Pass up to Muktinath is one of the highlight of this trekking.
Muktinath to Beni is joyous cycling ride as bike riding is on black tarred road for most of the time. About 3 to 5 kilometers is off road as the road construction is going on and this is the section near Rupse Waterfall otherwise the biking in Lower Mustang Region is so blissful. Most of the time cyclists will be doing the downhill cycling as it is not tiresome but you need to be very meticulous as the terrain is very dangerous. A small mistake will take you directly down to Kali Gandaki River. The road and probability of falling stone will make your ride so adventurous.
The presence of road in the Annapurna Tilicho Lake Trek make it so viable for Annapurna Circuit Cycling Tour.
