Itinerary description
Mangal Lama is the first person to successfully solo-ride the Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) on a mountain bike. The GHT is a 1,700km route in the Nepal Himalayas that is considered one of the most epic hiking routes in the world. In April 2022, Mangal completed the journey in 88 days as part of his project called “GHT on Wheels.” In addition to the personal challenge, Mangal’s project aimed to improve education, promote lesser-known areas of Nepal for tourism, and raise local incomes. Mangal is now leading mountain biking adventures on the GHT and designing adventure programs at El Yak.
