Mountain Biking Khasgar to Kathmandu

This trip starts from Khasgar. A town in the autonomous province of Xingxang in the west of China. Bordering with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkistan it once was a major halt for Caravans on the Silk Road. Today it is a flourishing commercial centre with a population composed of Uighur, Tajik and Kirgiz nationalities. Here it are the Han Chinese that form the minority.

At khasgar, we will meet with our additional supplies & support vehicles. From here we will  bike the next 3 weeks through china and into tibet. Before ending our trip by driving towards Kodari, we will make the 3 days kora(circumbulation) around Kailash. This 3 days pilgrimage walk around this `only holy` mountain in the world, will defitinely be one of the highlights of this trip.
