Jean Michel Jorda has travelled around the world on his bicycle on routes inaccessible by other forms of transportation.
"This has provided me an opportunity to meet people and experience their cultures from unique perspective," he said.
"Sometime the bicycle carries me and sometime I carry the 10 kg bicycle on my shoulder," he said.

"When I return to France I will tell travellers there to come to Nepal and see Himalayas through the unique experience of riding a bicycle," he said.
