The full picture.
The Poon Hill E-MTB uses Bergamont Bosch-powered electric mountain bikes to transform Nepal's most famous short trek into a 5-day ride with more vertical, more fun, and far more smiling. The e-assist handles the relentless uphill so you arrive at Poon Hill fresh enough to actually enjoy the sunrise.
The route follows the classic Poon Hill trek trail — rhododendron forest, Gurung villages, Ghorepani teahouses — but adds ridgeline detours, forest singletrack diversions, and trail sections that trekkers are forced to skip. The e-MTB opens Nepal's trails in a completely new way.
Suitable for riders 50+ or those who want the full Himalayan experience without the suffering of sustained climbing at altitude. No MTB experience required — only a sense of adventure.

The climb, day by day.
Full itinerary.
Drive to Nayapul and begin the e-MTB adventure. The motor handles the Modi Khola ascent effortlessly — save your legs for the descent. Arrive at Tikhedhunga in the afternoon.
The famous 3,300-step climb — on a regular bike, this is brutal. On an e-MTB, it's brilliant. Ride all the way up to Ghorepani through spectacular rhododendron forest.
4:30 AM start for Poon Hill (3,210m) — now accessible from the south on the bike trail. The sunrise. Then bomb down forest singletrack to Tadapani on a route trekkers simply can't take.
The finest descent day — Ghandruk perched on its ridgeline, then Landruk's terraced village, then flowing riverside trail all the way back to Nayapul. Drive to Pokhara.
Rest day in Pokhara or direct departure. Route certificate and e-bike badge presented at breakfast.
