Itinerary

13 Days : Upper Mustang Motorcycle Tour

Day 01: Arrive Kathmandu (1,310 m) upon arrival meets the representative waiting at the airport and transfer to the hotel. A welcome drink is served and a room is assigned. Later meet the riding crew along with the Royal Enfield Motorcycle. Furthermore, a short briefing about the safety, proper speed, and traffic conditions about Nepal roads. Stay overnight in Kathmandu.
Day 02: Kathmandu to Bandipur (130 KMs, 6 hours)
Teaching someone to ride a motorbike in Kathmandu would be as futile as teaching a monkey to juggle eggs. Once you’re out of Kathmandu, normalcy returns and you no longer need to fear for your life at every bend. The Kathmandu-Pokhara highway is one of the busiest in the country but still makes for a pleasant ride. With the roads being quite windy and steep, the average speed is barely 30kmph. But then a motorbike trip is never about the destination.
A tiny nondescript road leaves the highway towards Bandipur. The air clears up and civilization makes way for the trees, valleys and mountains. You’ve now entered the surreal world of Bandipur, far removed from the chaos of modern day living. Old Newari buildings line the paved streets and the Himalayas serve as a backdrop between adjacent buildings. The town centre is off limits to all traffic (probably because of the steps on the streets) and so peace reigns supreme. Stay overnight in Bandipur.
Day 03: Bandipur to Pokhara (80kms, 4 hours)
Leaving the perfect little town of Bandipur is difficult. But the fact that Pokhara is the next destination eases the pain. The bike ride to Pokhara is relatively easy provided you don’t puncture your tire in the middle of nowhere. Fixing a punctured tire in Nepal is a bigger ordeal than it should be but that’s all part of the game. Powerful gusts of wind over the last 5kms welcome you to Pokhara. Pokhara’s location on the banks of a green lake with the snow capped peaks of the Himalayas in the background probably accounts for its popularity but nothing will prepare you for how picturesque this town is. If you’ve got your hiking boots, then this is the last chance to indulge in the little comforts of life before roughing it out in the mountains. If you don’t, then buy some wine, rent a tiny little boat, row to the middle of the lake and drink in this spectacular mountain town. Stay overnight in Pokhara.
Day 04: Ride Pokhara to Kalopani (2,005 m) (129 Km) 6 Hours
Today we start early towards Beni (70 KM) on the Baglung Highway. This section of the drive provides fantastic mountain vistas, picturesque terraced farmlands. From here, the road is unpaved and dusty with potholes in several places. Unpaved, graveled rough road poses a real challenge for drivers and makes it more difficult with the occasional river crossings. Ascend gradually through the Kali Gandiki gorge, the deepest gorge in the world. Stay overnight in Kalopani.
Day 05: Ride Kalopani to Muktinath (3,750 m) (50 Km) 03:00 Hours.
After an early breakfast, set out on the trail by fantastic views of the Mt. Dhaulagiri 8167 m, Tukuche 6920 m, and Nilgiri 7061 m. As we pass between the Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna Mountain range, a dramatic change in vegetation is witnessed from green forests, to dry arid desert. Continue the ride towards Jomsom through the dusty graveled “off” road passing smaller settlements and apple orchards. From here continue ride passing through the village on the desert plateau brings us to Muktinath “Place of Salvation”. Stay overnight in Muktinath.

Day 06: Ride Muktinath to Tatopani (3,210 m) (72 Km) 03:30 Hours.
After a leisurely breakfast ride down to Kagbeni (2800 m) which is the gateway to Upper Mustang.
