Upper Mustang Motorbike Tour 

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

After exploring these sights, we will reconvene at our office to discuss the forthcoming motorcycling journey.

Overnight stay in Hotel.

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

On the way you can stop and taste some excellent local seafood in Malekhu, you can observe the route towards Gorkha and dozens of small and charming human communities. Riding the bike together with the Trishuli River on the highway will be the nicest experience. After reaching Pokhara you can rest and relax in the hotel and stroll about the lakeside region 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 lead us to Beni. Once you’ve gone through Beni, the landscape 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 journey 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 village is well-known for its gorgeous apple orchards and sparkling apple wine. Following Marpha comes Jomsom, which offers the first look of the harsh trans-Himalayan landscapes. It’s a huge settlement set against a backdrop of bleak mountains devoid of foliage.

The Motorbike ride will take you on a journey 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 verified at police checkpoints. 

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

This phase of the adventure will take you on high-altitude paths connecting the Upper and Lower Mustang. The route is covered in snow throughout the winter months thus it will be a little bit challenging to ride a motorbike. The motorcycle tour will take you through Gyami Khola’s mystical terrain, as well as the tiny communities of Ny La, Ghami La, and Chinggel. 

After driving 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 reaching Lo Manthang, the walled kingdom’s capital. Many peaks will be visible along the journey, including the Nilgiri, Tilicho, and Bhrikuti, among others. 

Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to explore some of the region’s ancient monasteries and magnificent 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 wonderful place with a high altitude pass. The ride will lead you to Chhosar after the drive to Kora La, which is dotted 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, going through Ghami, Tamagaun, and Ghiling. You can also explore the Chungsi Cave, which is located on the way to Syangboche. A night spent at Syangboche would be amazing because of the landscape visible from the resort and settlement.

Today we will drive to Marpha via Muktinath shrine, at an elevation of 3,800 meters, which is one of the most sacred destinations. Because it is described in the Vishnu Purana as well as Buddhist writings, it is significant to both Hindus and Buddhists. The place is also recognized as a Shakti Peeth. The shrine is encircled by 108 holy taps, and it is thought that soaking in all of them will purify the spirit and mind completely. It is a beautiful site to witness on the journey 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 primarily of rocky trails and mud tracks that run parallel to the Kali-Gandaki River, rather than a constructed 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 planned in advance so that you can be in the most comfortable condition possible.

The final portion of the drive from Pokhara to Kathmandu will take around 6-7 hours until we settle into a hotel in Kathmandu for the night. You’re all by yourself. You will join the Himalayan Holidays Nepal for a farewell meal and a discussion of your trip experience in the evening. Overnight stay in a hotel. 

Check out of the accommodation 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 journey.
