India: Ladakh
Adventure Access focuses on mountain biking as well as combined overland and trekking opportunities. The entire region is high altitude with many of the passes being in excess of 16,000ft in elevation.
Nepal
Nepal is home to the highest elevations on the planet. Mount Everest is on the border with China and 7 other 8000+ meter peaks are located in the country or on the border with China’s Tibetan region. The other notable peaks are Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kangchenjunga, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu.
Adventure opportunities abound. Multi-day treks are the most common activity in the country for the average adventurer. Popular destinations include Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna circuit, and for those allured by exclusivity, Nepal’s Mustang region.
Bhutan
Bhutan, known locally as the Dragon Kingdom, is one of the most preserved environments in the world. Over 70% of the country is untouched forest. It boasts some of the cleanest rivers you could possibly see. In fact, it is the only carbon negative nation in the world. It’s remoteness and mystique prohibit most people, but it is one of the best adventure destinations in the Himalayas. Opportunities for hiking, mountain biking (a favorite of the 4th king of Bhutan), rafting, and culturally immersive experiences abound.
