Motorbike tour to Upper Mustang

Early morning, we will take the ride to Pokhara, the city of natural beauty. On the way, we will be viewing a beautiful scenario of hills, forest, and river. We will take lunch at an amazing place, Bandipur. After reaching  Pokhara, we’ll freshen up and stay at a guest house or hotel where good and hygienic service is provided. If leisure time remains, we’ll make a lake and a Sarangkot ride. Last-minute queries will be discussed at dinner.

Historically and today, Tatopani is a huge trading post between Nepal and China. People living here speak Nepali and Tibetan. Hence, we will take a ride to Tatopani for 6-7 hours after early morning breakfast. There, many people visit here with religious beliefs as well as with the thought that such hot water cures skin diseases. We will take an afternoon relaxation at a hot spring  and an overnight stay at a lodge

After waking up early in the morning, we’ll enjoy a good breakfast and take an adventurous ride to Kagbeni. Kagbeni is a village in the Upper Mustang of the Himalayas, located in the valley of the Kali Gandaki River. From this, we will be honoured to ride the Annapurna circuit and the fascinating medieval village with closely packed mud-brick houses, dark alleys, and imposing Chhortens, along with culturally rich ethnicity. Overnight stay will be in the well-facilitated guest house.

We will ride for one hour from Kagbeni to one of the most mesmerizing religious sites, Muktinath. There, we will see the famous continuously burning flame fueled by natural gas, as well as the 108 water taps where pilgrims bathe under each one. Additionally, the diverse landscapes and cultures along the trekking routes offer a marvelous insight into the way of life of rural Nepali communities. The stay will be arranged in a guesthouse.

After a warm, fulfilling breakfast, we will take a 6-7 hour walk to Ghami. One cannot miss touring such a beautiful place like Ghami, the third largest village in the Lo region. Here, we will be riding to observe the trial that passes through the chores and local villages, which are like Tibetan-style houses with open verandas. We will be passing the trial of poplar trees and a field of barley. Overnight stay at the tea house/ guest house.

Today’s trek ride to Lo Manthang passes through magnificent views of Nilgiri, Tilicho, Annapurna, and Bhrikuti peaks. We will then gently ascend to the windy Lo Pass, from where we can observe the Lo Manthang Valley. While descending toward Lo Manthang, we will see the remarkable walled city set against the hills near the Tibetan border. Upon reaching Lo Manthang, we will visit the Royal Palace, monasteries, and explore the city. Overnight stay at a guesthouse or lodge.

Today we will explore around the same place, as it is large and there are many more beautiful scenes and places to ride. Hence, in this way, we will explore much more about mesmerizing Lo- Manthang and make a useful adventurous ride.

With good morning wishes and breakfast, we will ride towards China border. China's border is very famous for goods import and export for Nepalese. Especially, salt has been traded since historical time. Here, we will get to observe the beautiful scenario of mountains and trading centres. After this, we will return to Lo-Manthang for the overnight stay.

Today, we will enjoy a more exciting motorcycle ride as the Annapurna range appears larger while we head deeper into the Himalayas, descending from the Tibetan Plateau. We will briefly visit Tsarang, home to one of the region’s largest functioning monasteries. Along the way, we will pass the steep roads of Samar and then descend toward the hills. We will also pass through the charming town of Gheling, which we bypassed on our way north, and stay slightly south of it in a very basic guesthouse.

Today we will make up our mind to return by ride from Gheling to Kagbeni, 2800m. On the way, we will try to catch up on the memories calmly that were missed before. We’ll be ending the day in the charming town of Kagbeni, the gateway to Upper Mustang.

After a warm breakfast, we will set out to ride from Kagbeni to Tatopani, 1300m, where the taste of the cold beer and a dip in the hot springs again awaits, after a long day avoiding buses, pilgrims, hikers, and pot-holes. Today will be a much chillier day. Overnight stay will be at the well-groomed guest house.

7-8 hours of a ride will be made today from Tatopani to the small, clean, beautiful city of Bandipur. We will leave the Mustang behind us today and head back to Kathmandu by way of Bandipur. Beautiful resorts and well-managed guesthouses are the main attractions of this city. We will try to get all of the good memories of this place and plan for the next morning.

Now, time for the last destination ride, and it is all the way to Kathmandu. The way will get busier the closer we approach. Here, we will be recalling all the awesome memories during a ride to Upper Mustang, those adventures, food, clicks, chilled bears, cultures and landscapes, mountains, and many more. But we’ll take our time to get into town back to our hotel, where we started our adventure two weeks ago. In the evening, we’ll have our last dinner together for a memorable ending.
