Detailed Itinerary

Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). You'll be warmly greeted and transferred to your hotel. The evening is reserved for the crucial Tour Briefing and the Bike Handover. Settle in and soak up the chaotic, vibrant energy of this ancient capital.

Our first major ride takes us west on the Prithvi Highway. Expect sweeping views of the Trishuli River and the initial Himalayan foothills. This scenic route, though sometimes busy, is a perfect introduction to Nepalese road conditions, culminating in the serene, lakeside city of Pokhara.

The morning is dedicated to exploring Pokhara, perhaps a boat ride on Phewa Lake or a visit to the World Peace Pagoda. In the afternoon, we take a short, exhilarating ride up to Sarangkot, famous for its panoramic views. We stay overnight to catch a stunning sunset and the spectacular sunrise view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

The true mountain adventure begins! We leave Pokhara and ride north, following the mighty Kali Gandaki River. The roads become increasingly rugged and challenging as we push deep into the narrowest and deepest gorge in the world. Lete is a picturesque village offering up-close views of the towering Himalayan peaks.

A shorter distance, but an intensely challenging ride over extremely rough, rocky terrain and river crossings. We climb above the tree line to Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, situated at over 3,700 meters. The day is rewarded with dramatic views and a stay at high altitude.

Today, we officially enter the restricted area of Upper Mustang (requires special permits). The landscape changes dramatically to barren, wind-swept high desert reminiscent of the Tibetan Plateau. The final destination is the ancient, walled capital, Lo Manthang, the home of the former Mustang King.

A rest day for the bikes and a deep dive into the history and culture of this unique Tibetan Buddhist enclave. We explore the ancient monasteries, the Royal Palace, and the narrow streets of this beautifully preserved fortified town. Witness a unique culture that has remained virtually untouched for centuries.

We begin our southward journey, riding the challenging tracks back down through the Upper Mustang valley. Kagbeni is a medieval village located on the banks of the Kali Gandaki, acting as the historical gateway between Upper and Lower Mustang. It's a perfect blend of high-altitude desert and riverside charm.

A long and demanding ride as we re-enter the main Kali Gandaki gorge. The tracks are rocky, dusty, and require focused riding. The day's reward is reaching Tatopani, famous for its natural hot springs (Tatopani means 'hot water' in Nepali). Enjoy a relaxing soak to soothe the muscles after days of challenging riding.

We leave the worst of the rough road behind. The tracks gradually give way to smoother roads as we approach the Pokhara Valley. The final stretch is a celebratory cruise, returning to the serenity of Phewa Lake. The evening is free to enjoy the lively lakeside cafes and reflect on the adventure just completed.

Our final long-distance ride. We retrace our steps on the Prithvi Highway, enjoying the last views of the rivers and hills. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, we conduct the Bike Handover and hold a special Farewell Dinner, celebrating the successful conquest of the mighty Himalayas and the Kingdom of Mustang.

After a final breakfast, enjoy your transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) for your onward journey, carrying the dust of Mustang and the spirit of the Himalayas.
