Divine Descend MTB Presents
Shred Through Himalayas
The kind of ride that divides your life into two chapters: everything before Nepal, and everything after.Mountain Biking Nepal — The Ride You’ll Never Stop Talking About
Built on local knowledge.
Driven by a long-term vision.
Nepal has always drawn people to its mountains. For most of its modern history, that meant trekking — boots on ancient trails worn smooth by generations of feet crossing valleys, passes, and kingdoms. Mountain biking came later, and quietly.
We are a Nepal-based mountain bike operation built on two things: local knowledge that runs deep, and a long-term vision that goes beyond the next tour We run guided MTB expeditions into some of Nepal’s most extraordinary terrain from the rim trails above Kathmandu to the ancient dust of Upper Mustang — designed for riders who want to experience this country properly, not just pass through it.
Every route we take, every logistics decision we make, is handled by a team with roots here. Not guides. People for whom this is home.
Expeditions
Lower Mustang
Dust, Desert & Deep Culture
Carved by wind, worn by yaks, ridden by very few. Lower Mustang is ancient desert terrain at altitude canyon walls, mud-brick villages, and singletrack that existed long before mountain bikes did. You don’t just ride this place. You move through a thousand years of history on two wheels.
Upper Mustang
Ride The Forbidden Kingdom
Until 1992, no outsider was allowed in. The walls are still standing. The chortens still guard the passes. And the trails untouched, raw, sky-high are still waiting. Upper Mustang doesn’t just feel remote. It feels like riding somewhere the modern world forgot to reach.
The Divine Experience
When you pull off the bike and look up, Nepal does something to you. Tea houses appear at the top of passes like they were built specifically for this moment — steaming bowls of Dal Bhat, a fire in the corner, a host who doesn’t speak your language but understands exactly what you need. Family-run lodges in valleys so remote that the concept of a hotel chain feels almost comical. A cold beer handed to you at the end of a long day, drunk slowly, without agenda.
Then there are the rooftops. Every tea house in the hills seems to have one — flat, wind-swept, impossibly positioned. You sit there as the light changes and the peaks turn pink and then deep blue, and conversation just… stops. Not awkwardly. Just because words feel like the wrong tool for what you’re looking at.
Meet Our Team
Jason Pantha
Grew up Nepali, built his life around mountain biking in the Taunus region of Germany, and has spent years embedded in one of Europe's active MTB communities — this isn't a weekend hobby, it's how he lives. He works at one of Germany's biggest bike shops, which means his enthusiasm for riding comes backed by serious technical knowledge of the machines themselves. Having ridden extensively across Europe and building trails, he brings that breadth back to where it matters most: Nepal, where he's working on a long-term vision to develop new trail networks that will put the country on the global MTB map for generations to come.
Sonam Sherpa
A Nepali local with deep roots in the mountains, connections in places no guidebook reaches, and the kind of quiet competence that means logistics, trails, and everything in between just get handled. His father ran one of Kathmandu's early trekking expedition companies, and he grew up around permits, porters, and the art of keeping expeditions moving when everything conspires to stop them. Before the mountains called him back, he spent years driving a cab in New York City — five boroughs, all weathers, every kind of person — and brought that calm back to Nepal.
