Riding Upper Mustang in Nepal on a motorcycle is just epic!
A motorcycle adventure that moves all your senses: this is the jewel in the crown among our tours.
The Upper Mustang area is close to the border with China and only a few tourist per year are allowed in this truly undiscovered area.
This tour leads you to places where not many people have been, especially not on a motorcycle. With the Himalayan mountains and its 8000+ m. / 26.000+ ft peaks, it's hard to keep your eyes from those breath-taking mountains.
Via Pokhara we ride up to Lo-Manthang, the ancient walled city in Upper Mustang and back, all the way to Kathmandu.
Some travels are memorable for their riding;
Some for the scenery or rich cultural experience;
Upper Mustang is a rare example of being memorable for all of that!"~ Wolfgang Miedl (Austria)

You will be staying in simple and basic guest-houses when up in the Mustang but when in Kathmandu and Pokhara you will dwell in some well earned luxury.
This tour is for riders with some off-road experience as we ride through a variety of terrains. Because of the higher altitudes we'll ride on, you'll need a good general condition as well.
You will experience water crossings, rocky de/ascents, and some dusty gravel roads on a light Honda 250 cc bike.
If this sounds still exciting – you're more than happy to join this fantastic tour!
