BikeHike Adventures Everest Base Camp and MANI RIMDU Festival

Well we're all set with our newest BikeHike Adventure into Nepal and we already have a couple of people who have asked to be the first bookings for the first departure on November 8-28th. The trip is in Everest Base Camp and this November 8th departure is focused around the Mani Rimdu Festival, which involves ritual activities and tantric dances. In Mani Rimdu, avalokiteshora appears in neither a wrathful nor peaceful aspect. Generally, this festival is not a demonstration of dharma, but is a practice of the highest tantric yoga which involves direct dealing with lama (spiritual guru).

The trekking route is probably one of the most popular in the Khumbu region as Kalapathar is considered one of the best viewpoints in the whole of Everest Region. The visit to Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp are truly magical and offer a lifetime experience. The views from atop of Kalapathar and walking on the Khumbu Glacier on the way to Everest Base Camp are simply intoxicating.

We're just in the process of launching the new page on our website so please check in this week with bikehike.com or contact us for details of this special departure.

Cheerio,
Trish Sare
