Nepal Motorbike Tour - 13 Days

HimayanTrekkers representative will welcome you to the airport terminal and transfer you to the hotel. After your check-in formalities at the hotel, you are on your own. Later, we will pre discuss your riding adventure either at our office or at your hotel lobby. Later, you can roam the streets of the Thamel area and get a night glimpse of the area. 

After a warm hearty breakfast, we kick off our Royal Enfield and ride towards an ancient Newari village named Bandipur to the west of Kathmandu. We arrive in Naubise after starting along the very twisty Prithivi Highway from Naudanda. From there, the ride will be relatively straightforward until Galchi. 

Pass through Kurintar's cable car station to reach Mugling, the most popular highway intersection. We travel west and cross the bridge that spans the Trishuli and Marsyangdi Rivers. Then, after a nice ride to Dumre and a detour over a hill, we arrive in Bandipur. The village servers a lovely hill station with 360-degree views of the Annapurna, Fishtail, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal ranges. 

We enjoy the stunning sunrise view from a hilltop in Bandipur in the morning. After exploring the area, we set out on the road that leads to Pokhara. Today's trip is quite short and takes place on a less congested road. 

The Annapurna ranges and the distinctive Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) come into focus as we get closer to Pokhara. When we arrive in Pokhara, we take a short lunch break and continue the ride towards Tatopani. 

The route is pleasant and paved until you reach Beni which is about a three-hour ride away from Pokhara. The route becomes hard and dusty from here on out. You'll be riding along the ridges of mountains and pass by massive waterfalls before we come across Tatopani's natural hot spring.

After breakfast in Tatopani, we ride to Muktinath, a revered Hindu site where century-old temples are carved into the mountainside, eagles soar overhead, and glacial rivers twist their way through snow-capped peaks at an altitude of 3800 meters. Today's ride will cover a total distance of 68 kilometers entirely on dirt roads along with awe-inspiring scenery and a breathtaking mountain outlook. We make a lunch stopover in Jomsom and continue till we reach Muktinath. 

Early in the morning, we visit the sacred temple of Muktinath. Interested might take a bath from the 108 taps there which are believed to clear off all the sins we have done. After our temple darshan, we return to our lodge and take a warm breakfast. 

Soon after we start our Royal Enfield engines and head towards another beautiful village called Marpha. The rest of the day, we spend exploring the village, the apple garden, interacting with the locals, and tasting the apple products like apple pie, apple brandy, etc. 

Our ride from Marpha to Dhampus takes us across to Annapurna ranges and Dhaulagiri. We follow the path ascending towards Yak Kharka and into the Kali Gandaki Valley. Once we reach Dhampus Village, we will check in at one of the lodges. You can also stay at a homestay and try the local cuisines, listen to the stories of the mountains, and get the insights into typical Nepali village lifestyle. 

Leaving Dhampus, we ride to Sarangkot, a peak that offers breathtakingly gorgeous and expansive views of the Himalayas. Sarangkot is also the center of airborne adventure, so if you've ever wanted to try paragliding, come to Sarangkot.

Prepare for some traffic through Pokhara's entrance, where you'll have to put your driving talents to the test. We'll arrive near Phewa Lake in the afternoon, and you'll have the rest of the afternoon to explore on your own.

Today, we'll ride to some of Pokhara's most famous sights. The motorbike sightseeing tour begins with a journey to Mahendra Cave and a stop at Seti River Gorge along the route. After a nice lunch, we continue our exploration of Pokhara. 

The Annapurna Mountains are mirrored in the tranquil waters of Phewa Tal when the weather permits, making it perfect for boating. Then take a stroll to the Pagoda of Peace, which gives stunning views of the surrounding lake and mountains. We ride to Davis Fall and enjoy the area before returning to the lakeside for the night

We start the day with a warm breakfast at the resort and hop into engines to make a kick towards Chitwan. We ride along the road lined with beautiful sceneries like babbling brooks, lush green hillsides, and breathtaking mountain views. 

When you arrive in Chitwan, check into your accommodation and relax. We will visit a Tharu (native people) settlement in the evening to learn about their distinct lifestyle and culture. 

Today will be a full day of jungle activities. We start with a jungle stroll, where you can see a variety of birds. In the afternoon, we'll go to the Rapti River for an exhilarating Elephant Bathing Session. On this guided safari tour, we will see one-horned rhinos, monkeys, crocodiles, and possibly, if you're lucky, a regal Bengal tiger, leopard, or bear. 

In the afternoon, we'll go into the jungle in search of Asian crocodiles, then board a boat to witness them in their native environment along the Narayani River. Then, in the late afternoon, we'll go to an Elephant Breeding Center to learn how these massive creatures are taught and cared for. 

In the evening, we enjoy our traditional Tharu dinner with a cultural program.

We ride south after breakfast and follow the road to Daman. The roads are peaceful and there is little traffic; there are bends after corners, breathtaking views, and a destination that will leave you speechless. The Annapurna range, Manaslu range, Langtang range, and Mt Everest can all be seen from Daman. 

From Daman, the journey follows the route through the jungle for a bit before turning into the curvy mountain roadway that will take you to Kathmandu. Once the check-in formalities are completed, you have the remainder of the day on your own. 

You can opt. to have guided sightseeing of some of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the Kathmandu Valley or explore the traditional markets of Ason, Indrachowk, and Thamel to pick up some mementos for yourself or friends or families. 

At the dinner time, you will be picked up for a team dinner as a goodbye to you at an authentic Nepali restaurant where you can enjoy the traditional food along with a cultural show.

Our Nepal motorcycle adventure has come to an end. Depending on the time of your flight, you will have free time after breakfast to do shopping or sightseeing in Kathmandu. One of our representatives will drop you at the airport 3 hours before your scheduled flight. 

HimalayanTrekkers wish you a safe journey to your next destination and hope that you had a fantastic time.
