INTRODUCTION
If you came to Nepal to see mountains, this is the tour for you! Ride up to a huge 4000m to the sacred Hindu city of Muktinath where century old temples are carved into the hillside, eagles soar overhead, and glacial rivers wind their way through snow-capped peaks.
This tour is not for the faint hearted as we ride through a variety of terrains. You will experience water crossings, rocky ascents, suspension bridges, and the occasional bit of sand. If the sound of that makes you excited - then this is the tour for you!
​
We run this tour on both the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the 250cc enduro. We don't typically mix bikes and therefore run separate tours. Both tours follow the same overall route, but on the enduros we are able to take more remote and difficult trails as compared to the Himalayan.

ITINERARY
Day 1 - Welcome to Pokhara!
Relax by the lake and take in the beautiful surrounds by day. Meet your riding team, your trusty steed, and tour briefing by night. Tomorrow we ride!
Day 2 - Pokhara to The Cliff
Get familiar with your bike with a ride through chaotic traffic, along winding rivers, into quaint villages and countless corners! Will you or won't you jump from the world's second highest bungee jump!?
Day 3 - The Cliff to Kalopani​
Today we start our vertical climb into the Himalayas. Ride from 1000m up to nearly 3000m and see the landscape change as we bid farewell to the jungles below and enter the land of 8000+ peaks.
Day 4 - Kalopani to Kagbeni via Muktinath
Enter the moonscape - a region where little vegetation grows and glaciers carve through mountains. Ride to Muktinath and explore the sacred temple complex, Enjoy a yak steak for lunch before descending down to Kagbeni for the night.
Day 5 - Kagbeni day-trip (4700m!)
Today we reach our highest point - 4700m! We ride on tracks that very few have explored to give you the most thrilling views and bragging rights!
Day 6 - Kagbeni to Mallaj
Visit the local monastery in the morning and we then start our descent back to the warmer climate below. It's the final night of the tour so to celebrate we have a bbq dinner by the open-fire at our good friends restored palace.
Day 7 - Mallaj to Pokhara
Today we hit paved roads again and wind our way back to civilisation. You will be amazed at how much you have experienced in such a short time on the road. Needless to say, it's a fun night back in town!
