NAMASTE & WELCOME TO INDIA!

 

Upon your arrival at Indira Ghandi International Airport, you’ll be greeted by a Motorcycle Expeditions representative and be transferred to your hotel in a private vehicle for an overnight stay in Delhi.

​

Further instructions will be given on your arrival to the Hotel, before regrouping for a ride briefing and get to know each other over a relaxed welcome dinner.

A private vehicle will be waiting for us, as our journey out of Delhi commences.

​

A lunch break on the road, before checking into a Heritage Hotel.

Haveli's were once upon a time, homes to Maharaja's.

 

Quick rider briefing, and introduction to your Royal Enfield Motorcycle, before a leisurely afternoon ride to explore the local village surroundings.

 

​

Riding further west, to Bikaner for an overnight stay, surrounded by the Thar desert.

 

We’ll visit the richly ornate 16th Century Junagarh Fort, and if time permits, ride out to the local Rat Temple. 

 

Yes! That’s right, a temple where rats are worshipped.

Rising early to miss the morning traffic of Chitwan, we’ll head north and regroup for a chai break just outside of Narayanghat before continuing on towards Mugling for lunch. Our next leg of our journey takes us through villages and farmland before another stop to stretch our legs.

 

On our approach to Pokhara, we’ll regroup just outside of the city, before making our way through the bustling and vibrant streets to our overnight stay. Dinner at a local restaurant is the perfect environment to share laughs and swap stories of the past few days.

Today takes our adventure to the next level with challenging conditions ahead. With an early breakfast and departure out of town, we’ll be greeted by views of the Dhaulagiri Mountain range including the untouched Machhapuchhare, also known as Fish Tail Mountain. If the weather is clear and is safe to do so, we’ll stop for photos of this amazing backdrop.

 

Continuing along the Baglung Highway towards Beni, which provides fantastic mountain vistas, picturesque, terraced farmlands and an opportunity to walk on one of Nepal’s famous suspension bridges. Off-road tracks and river crossings take us to through a continual change of topography until we reach our overnight accommodation in Kalopani.

 

After a challenging yet rewarding day riding into the Himalayan mountains you will no doubt sleep well!

As we head further into the Annapurna Conservation Area, we ride through some of the most amazing landscapes of this epic adventure. Today will see us tackle a large river crossing in Lower Mustang and see the namesake wild horses grazing the valley floor as we ride past.  After our lunch stop in Jomsom, we’ll cross the river and continue onward to Muktinath.  Enroute, we’ll encounter many trekkers from across the globe, and reach and elevation of 3710m, our highest climb into the mighty Himalayas.

 

On arrival we’ll check in to our accommodation and can take a short breath-taking hike up to the Temple where Buddhism and Hinduism is practiced side by side in harmony. As the sun sets over this incredibly graceful land the hardships of the past few days to get us here are long forgotten. If you’re feeling brave, an early morning dip in the fountains awaits!

Refreshed from having breathed the crisp mountain air of the mighty Himalayas, we are ready to tackle our descent from Muktinath.

 

Our first stop will be in a small village called Kagbeni. Here we have the opportunity to interact with the local children and villagers as well as take a short walk to visit the local monastery where many Yogi’s come to pray. These Yogi’s are known to isolate themselves in the caves overlooking the village to practice their meditation and rituals in solitude.

 

From here, we’ll head back the same way we came past Kalopani and end up at our next destination, Tatopani.  “Tato” meaning ‘hot’ and “Pani” meaning ‘water’, the local natural hot springs is a great way to soak the bone rattling roads of the past few days away. Relaxed and recharged, dinner and an early night, before we hit the road back to Pokhara.

We’ll back track the trail along the Kali Gandaki River and continue on the main highway all the way back to Pokhara.

 

On arrival, we’ll check into our hotel, and for the rest of the day can let your hair down and hit the main drag.  The main street has a number of places to enjoy a drink and some live entertainment. 

 

We’ll catch up for dinner and continue with celebrating the night away.

Today is a day of leisure, Pokhara is a beautiful, modern and busy town surrounded by high Himalayan snow-capped mountains overlooking the Fewa Lake (Phewa Tal).

 

If you didn’t celebrate too heavy the night before, a stroll around the Lake is highly recommended. You could take it easy and hang out at one of the many local restaurant or bars along the lake, or maybe take a canoe ride/hike to visit the World Peace Pagoda.

 

Feeling adventurous? Activities such as paragliding, bungee jumping, zip flying, ultra-light flights and many other activities can be booked direct from the hotel. We’ll reconvene for dinner before another overnight stay in the hotel.

Today we will head eastbound and follow the Trishuli River all the way to Nuwakot. With stunning views reminiscent of Vietnam and Thailand’s terraced rice paddy fields and farm land, we’ll ride through parts of rural Nepal that not very many tourists get to see.

 

On arrival, we’ll check in to our very special overnight stay. This Heritage site was sadly devastated by the 2015 earthquakes, but has since been painstakingly restored to its former glory.

 

As our generous farm style meal is cooked in the open kitchen, you can take a quick stroll to visit the Nuwakot Palace or sit and relax watching the sunset over the valley. Truly a spectacular way to spend our last night before heading back to Kathmandu.

We’ll head back down the hill via some more great switchbacks, and continue our journey through, until we emerge from the forest and descend into the chaos of Kathmandu.

 

On arrival we’ll check into our hotel and have some time to hit the town to celebrate before we catch up for our final and farewell dinner together.
