Our Story

Nepal can be a great platform for mountain biking and has been growing within the cycling community, having riders of all kinds. Our research and questioning with the riders facing various difficulties in this field led us to know what is missing in nepal’s cycling /mountain biking community.
We bring in experienced and professionally trained coaches who have won various international games and are uci certified instructing all level riders. We also focus on body positioning to first aid and maintenance tips along with skills courses boosting riders confidence.
We motivate every rider no matter their age /gender/ethnicity and influence all who are interested in mountain biking.We love to encourage and build a good community enjoying mountain biking along with nature.

Our first main target is to create awareness and education among the nepalese community about the importance and acceptance of this sport. This adventurous sport not only is thrilling and fun but also can make a great career option in nepal itself and if wanted in international levels as well. Learning tricks, first aid and maintenance only adds to the riders skills and safety.
Beside skill training, skills & thrills has a long term vision to promote local destination’s culture, food, ethnicity, nature through tourism. Along with kathmandu, our 2022 goal is to introduce skill training in hetauda, dharan, birtamod, itahari, pokhara and have a great plan to organise skills sessions all over nepal where we will train various interested riders and also promote local job opportunities with them through tourism.
We later support participants in promoting their own hometown’s nature, history, culture and lifestyle through it by selling mountain biking trip packages to the travellers. The skills and thrills team is also very hopeful towards hiring our own participants in our retreat session packages.
