Upper Mustang Motorbike Tour - 14 Days

On your arrival at Kathmandu Airport,  A representative from Himalayan Trekkers will be there to receive you and escort you to the hotel. After the checking formalities, you can rest in your hotel room. 

Today after having breakfast, you will be exploring Kathmandu city on Motorbike. You will visit some of the UNESCO world heritage site, which includes Pashupatinath Temple, the holy temple of Hindu to worship Lord Shiva, Kathmandu (Basantapur) Durbar Square, New road & Ason Markets, Bouddhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath (The Monkey Temple).

After exploring these places, we will meet at our office to discuss the upcoming motorbike trip. Overnight stay in Hotel.

Having the morning breakfast, we will start on our journey to Upper Mustang from Kathmandu heading towards Pokhara. It will take a 6 to 7 hours ride to reach there. 

On the way you can stop and try some delicious local fish in Malekhu, you can see the route towards Gorkha and lots of small and pretty human settlements. Riding the bike along with the Trishuli River on the highway will be the best experience. After reaching Pokhara you can rest and relax in the hotel and roam around the lakeside area in the evening.

Today after breakfast, we start our motorbike riding the road towards Tatopani. We will ride through Kusma & Baglung. Riding along with the Gandaki River will take us to Beni. Once you've passed through Beni, the terrain becomes more rugged, and you'll be riding on a gravel road to Tatopani. After reaching there you can enjoy the hot spring and relax your muscles. Overnight stay in Tatopani. 

Leaving Tatopani, the ride will become more exciting. Your ride today will take you to the Kali Gandaki Valley, the world's deepest gorge. To go to Marpha, you'll have to cross through Ghasa and Tukuche. This hamlet is well-known for its beautiful apple orchards and sparkling apple wine. Following Marpha comes Jomsom, which offers the first glimpse of the bleak trans-Himalayan vistas. It's a large settlement set against a backdrop of barren mountains devoid of flora.

The Motorbike ride will take you on an adventure through Kagbeni the next morning, after breakfast and the ride to Upper Mustang. Because this is where the real fun begins, you must have your permissions examined at police checkpoints.

You'll be riding towards Chhusang Village after crossing the Kali Gandaki River, followed by the surreal vistas of Samar Village, Syangboche La, and Bhena La. After around 4 hours of driving, you will arrive in Ghiling, where you will spend the night.

This phase of the journey will take you on high-altitude routes connecting the Upper and Lower Mustang. The route is covered in snow throughout the winter months so it will be a little bit difficult to ride a motorbike. The motorcycle trip will take you through Gyami Khola's mysterious landscape, as well as the little towns of Ny La, Ghami La, and Chinggel.

After going through Dhakmar Village, you will arrive in Tsarang, where you will spend the night.

The drive from Tsarang takes you through Sungda La and Lo La before arriving in Lo Manthang, the walled kingdom's capital. Many peaks will be visible along the way, including the Nilgiri, Tilicho, and Bhrikuti, among others.

Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the region's ancient monasteries and beautiful caverns. Stay overnight in the tea house.

We Visit Namgyal Monastery, an Ancient  Nepal Tibet fort, the further border between Nepal and Tibet Kora La, at an elevation of 4,660 meters ( depending on season and local condition), which connects the Nepal-Tibet border. This is a beautiful location with a high altitude pass. The ride will bring you to Chhosar after the drive to Kora La, which is littered with caves for daily life, meditation, and even burial. After such a long day, the night would be spent at Lomang-thang.

It is a downhill ride from Chhosar to Syangboche, passing through Ghami, Tamagaun, and Ghiling. You can also visit the Chungsi Cave, which is located on the road to Syangboche. A night spent in Syangboche would be amazing because of the landscape seen from the lodge and village.

Today we will drive to Marpha via Muktinath shrine, at an elevation of 3,800 meters, which is one of the highest holy locations. Because it is mentioned in the Vishnu Purana as well as Buddhist texts, it is significant to both Hindus and Buddhists. The area is also regarded as a Shakti Peeth. The shrine is encircled by 108 holy taps, and it is said that soaking in all of them will purify the spirit and mind completely. It is an incredible sight to see on the route to Marpha. The drive continues through Kagbeni and Jomsom to Marpha, where you will spend the night. 

We'll return to Pokhara via Larjung, Kalopani, Ghasa, and Beni, where we'll have lunch before continuing on to Kusma. It is made up of rocky footpaths and mud tracks that run parallel to the Kali-Gandaki River, rather than a pitched road.

You can go boating in Phewa Lake and explore the island temple after landing in Pokhara. If you have some free time, ask your guide to take you to the World Peace Pagoda, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the mountains, valley, and lake all at once. For the night stay in Pokhara, hotel arrangements will be arranged in advance so that you can be in the most comfortable condition possible.

The remaining leg of the travel from Pokhara to Kathmandu will take roughly 6-7 hours until we check into a hotel in Kathmandu for the night. You're all by yourself. You will join the Himalayan Trekkers for a farewell dinner and a discussion of your trip experience in the evening. Overnight stay in hotel.

Check out of the hotel after breakfast to catch your flight to the airport, which will be assessed by a Himalayan trekker’s representative. We will drop you at the Tribhuvan International Airport 3 hours before your flight time. We're looking forward to hearing from you, and we'll see you at the next leisure/vacation. Have a pleasant trip.
