Magical Nepal with the white peaks of the Himalayas.


Nepal a must on the bucket list to have ridden.

It begins upon arrival in the capital, Kathmandu. A wonderfully chaotic city with lots of sights, which is why we spent another day here upon arrival. But actually you need several days to see everything. In particular, the Monkey Temple, Durbar Square and the funeral pyres at Pashupatinath temple must be seen.

On the way we have a special overnight in Chitwan on the edge ofChitwan National Park. This vast National Park of no less than 952km2 goes far into northern India and has lots of wild life.

But you will also be impressed by the birthplace of THE BUDDHA 2,600 years ago in Lumbini.

Nepal is mountainous with many unpaved ( mountain ) roads, even the main road is an adventurous challenge. But the days to the Lower Mustang of over 3,700 meters you will never forget. An impressive mountain range with magical views at every turn, not to mention the often unpaved roads that complete this adventure.

The overnight stay here in Kagbeni is one of historical rarity. We spend the night in a 500-year-old monastery, a breathtaking prayer room with a huge Buddha, but the whole village is historic. A short walk through the narrow alleys where literally century old carved stones lie on the ground.

Heaviness of the journey

Nepal is divided in altitude into three regions. In the south is the lowlands, this is called the Terrai. This is a tropical area where elephants and rhinos live. In the north is the high Himalayas, with snow-capped peaks, the Annapurna and the foot of Mount Everest. The roads in this area are poor and dead ends in the high mountains. Between these two extremes lies the so-called low Himalayas. Our trip takes place in the latter area. So you won't reach high altitudes, except for the night in Lower Mustang. The distances are too not great and the trip as a whole is therefore not really tough but some experience is required.

Off road

About 50 percent of this trip is on unpaved roads and or trails. Most routes are not difficult but can be tiring. Sometimes there are parts that can be difficult. Some off road experience or already done similar trips is a must.

Clothing

Required are a helmet motorcycle jacket with protection hand-shoes a good sturdy (motorcycle) pants with protection or with loose knee protection and sturdy high (mountain) shoes. Especially in spring and autumn it can be very hot in the lower parts of the trip. A summer motorcycle jacket with protection is therefore recommended. Furthermore, good sunglasses are useful and a helmet with visor that protects from the dust. The rainy season falls in the summer months from June to the end of August. We plan our trips before or after this. Still, the weather can ignore all forecasts you should therefore take into account a possible rain shower on all trips.

Reviews of the trip


First of all, it was a once in a lifetime trip ! Unforgettable. We had so many unique experiences that it is already becoming difficult to recall them all. The contact with the office was excellent, quick and concise answers to my questions. Roland is an exceptional man, very experienced, sure of himself and a solid off road rider. Hans and I were clearly the riders with the least off road experience and had problems with some of Roland's choices. Steep roads, loose boulders and especially a lot of sand, roads we would never choose ourselves. So we crashed several times, fortunately without permanent damage to man and machine. We all crashed at least once. That says something about the difficulty of the course. Sunil was always the savior and always quickly on the spot if any help was needed, an absolute hero and indispensable on this trip. Overall it was a fantastic trip. Beautiful scenery, friendly people, lots of noise and dust, fantastic food, UNIQUE ! The highlights of the trip? Muktinath, the highest and highlight of the trip where I finally got to see my first 8000-er: Dhaulagiri. The old road back but Kagbeni and the stay there. The safari in Chitwan proved more fascinating than I thought because of the birds and tiger. Driving through Pokhara and Kathmandu were also highlights.

JAN MOEKENAPRIL 2024

We had a fantastic trip in Nepal. The combination of natural beauty and culture was nicely balanced. Especially in the high mountains, nature is overwhelming.
We made a good decision by replacing the safari trek with trekking in Muktinath. This trek turned out to be the highlight of our trip.
There was a nice variety of offroad and paved courses. The offroad was occasionally challenging but still doable each time with our group.
The bikes were excellent: robust and powerful; perfectly suited for this trip.
The accompanying 4x4 cars were also perfect.
Roland was a super guide: very pleasant person. He did not impose himself anywhere, but was present every time where necessary. He fit in very well with the group. Took firm decisions where necessary (e.g.: the first guide for the ladies in the 4x4 was taciturn and gave no explanation in the car; Roland addressed this immediately and had a new guide come to Lumbini. This lady was an immediate hit. As a result, our ladies in the 4x4 were also extremely satisfied from their trip).
Among the majority of participants, this trip is crowned as number one among all our previous trips.
Thanks for the organization.
