As you pedal, you’ll pass through timeless villages where life seems to flow at its own peaceful rhythm, untouched by the modern world rushing by elsewhere.

Prayer wheels spin in the thin mountain air, and colorful prayer flags flutter against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Gradually, the landscape transforms as you snake your way up the valley. The air grows thinner, and each pedal stroke becomes a testament to your determination.

You’re not just climbing a mountain; you’re ascending into legend, approaching an altitude of 5,200 meters (17,060 feet) where the air itself seems to whisper tales of mountaineering glory.

Testimonials

We went to astonishing places where no one in the normal population has experience let alone the cycling world.
Eddy, Hong Kong

I’ve been living, traveling and riding in China for over 5 years. Riding in China can be rough, amazing or both at the same time. Visiting Tibet was always on my bucket list since I had set a foot in the country. Since there is no option to discover this fascinating area on your own, I was happy to stumble across the Serk trip which allowed me to combine two of my passions with likeminded people: Exploring and Riding. And what can I say, Serk delivered big-time. It was rough, amazing and both at the same time. The feeling of riding towards the Base Camp with a clear view on Everest has been stuck in my mind since that day and still makes me shiver. I’m glad I could tick one more thing off my bucket list.
Daniel, Germany

Trying to explain to someone about this journey we have all been on cannot be explained fully by pictures or words. It has been an experience that has touched our hearts in so many ways. I must say that with challenges of altitude, a developing area and the fact nobody else had been running an expedition of this scale gave me reason to be concerned. I had to be convinced to come and had low expectations.

I was truly blown away by Serk’s experience in the end. From a cycling point of view it was expertly curated. The vehicle support we had was incredible (considerably more than trips of this price I’ve experienced in Europe and US). We got to ride on roads where no other cyclists can go. Riding a bike through these amazing landscapes enabled us to experience local villages, culture and Tibetan people up close – you can’t do that on a bus. Not only that but through the challenge of riding the high passes with a bunch of other riders from diverse backgrounds I also made lifelong new friendships. I want to thank Serk for a truly unforgettable experience.
Brendan, Australia

This is without doubt the best trip I have ever done. Serk do everything for you, all you have to do is ride your bike and enjoy the best roads and views in the world. Cycling to Everest Base Camp with Serk.cc should be on every cyclist’s Bucket List. Just Do It – you won’t regret it. #BestTripEver
