Upper Mustang Motorbiking Tour Overview
Ride a 450 CC Royal Enfield Himalayan bike and ride through the dusty, barren, treeless landscapes of the Tibetan Plateau, small settlements of people resembling the culture and lifestyle of ancient Tibet. It may sound uncomfortable, riding on off roads but its pure adventure that will be etched in your memory forever.
Our ride kickoffs from Kathmandu to the beautiful city of Pokhara, and goes through the winding roads following the Annapurna circuit route. Once you reach Beni (82 km from Pokhara), the off-road starts. We will follow the Kaligandaki River along the ancient salt trading route between Nepal and Tibet onto Muktinath Temple. Riding along the Kaligandaki George, the world’s deepest is one of a kind of experience in itself. The pristine lifestyle of the indigenous Buddhist community, historic monasteries and ancient caves make you feel you are in Tibet.
We follow the same trail that we take in reaching Lo Manthang. Taking a day off in Pokhara to roam around the Lakes and caves, or trying an adventure such as Paragliding/Zip flyer/Bungee is good option. Pubs in lakeside Pokhara are fine places to hangout your evening and cling your beers with some fresh live music.
