The story of a three-week cycling trip around two eight-thousandths in the Nepalese Himalayas. We will hear stories about the customs of these popular trekking routes and the difficulties encountered by cyclists wishing to overcome them. The speaker will share his impressions and talk about the adventures that have befallen him, including a snowstorm (Cyclone Montha) at an altitude of 5000 m, which paralyzed the entire region, preventing tourist traffic and leading to many evacuations.
