Moderate to Difficult: Climbs are frequent and strenuous.

Difficult: Very hilly terrain such as you will find with our Himalayan Bicycle Expedition tours daily distance normally exceed 60 km, but not always. A very mountainous terrain but shorter daily distance will often times warrant the designation of Difficult.

For our trips, we are often asked “what kind of fitness levels are required”? Of course, if you have booked a trip that is at the upper end of your capabilities, you want to know that you have done all you can to prepare. Unfortunately, these questions are often the most difficult to answer. Only you know your current fitness levels and capabilities and can prepare according to the options available to you.

When altitude is involved, your ability to acclimatize is going to have a much greater impact on your progress than your fitness. However, poor fitness and preparation is not going to increase your chances. In an effort to help you reach your active adventure goals, we’ve produced helpful Fitness Guides to help prepare for your trip

It is always best to make your preparation as close to the real thing as possible. Of course, it’s tough to replicate the major mountain ranges around the world, but make sure you include ups and downs if you are preparing for a mountain ride. If you are still unsure about your fitness, or the difficulty of the ride, we suggest you refer again to our grading system or talk it through with one of our experts and please download our Cycling Fitness Guide.
