Nepal national DH champion, Nishma Shrestha, loves sharing the hidden gems of the Himalayas

“I was introduced to mountain biking as a kid by my uncle who was a passionate mountain biker. I have been riding ever since and have competed at a national level. I even managed to win the National Downhill Championship in 2022!

“Alongside my love for biking, I also studied Travel & Tourism, which has helped me in my current job as a guide. I’ve been leading trips for three years now, taking people on adventures all around Nepal.

“I love sharing my knowledge of the country and showing people the hidden gems that only a local would know. I absolutely love riding in the High Himalayas. There’s just something so exhilarating about navigating those steep and rocky terrains, and the views are just breathtaking.”
