Our Story

About

Who We Are

Born on These Trails

Singletrack Nepal was founded in 2014 by a team of riders and trekkers who grew up in the mountains of Nepal. We are not a travel agency that plans trips from a desk โ€” we are guides, athletes, and trail-builders who live and breathe the terrain we show you.

Our adventures span the full range: high-altitude MTB expeditions through Mustang and Manaslu, classic Himalayan trekking circuits, trail running in the Pokhara foothills, and USI-certified MTB skills coaching for riders of every level.

Nepal is our backyard. These trails are our playground. And we want to share them with you.

Our Mission

To provide world-class adventure experiences in Nepal while supporting the communities, porters, and ecosystems that make those adventures possible. Every trip we run puts money directly into local pockets โ€” accommodation, food, permits, and staff are all sourced within Nepal.

We are proud members of the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN), member number 1155, and operate in full compliance with Nepal’s adventure tourism regulations.

USI Certified Coaching

Our head coach Rakesh “Rocky” Manandhar holds USI certification โ€” the international standard for mountain bike skills instruction. Rocky has been riding Nepal’s trails for over 20 years and has coached riders from over 30 countries. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rider looking to sharpen technical skills, Rocky’s programmes are structured, progressive, and genuinely transformative.
