🇳🇵 Nepal Motorcycle Tour (Private Rooms!) 🏍️ Ride through Nepal on a Royal Enfield, including rafting and safari🗻🚣🦏🌴

Pack your backpack and motorcycle gloves and let's embark on an unforgettable motorcycle trip through Nepal together! 🇳🇵🏍️ This trip is planned as an individual backpacking trip on a rental motorcycle and will take us along the highest mountains in the world as well as to the lowlands to see elephants and rhinos. You should be able to handle a motorcycle safely for this trip, but you don't have to be a pro (yet). :-) Our travel group: 🙋🇩🇪 Timo T. - Trip leader 🙋🇩🇪 Timo - Trip mate ⬇️⬇️⬇️ More information ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ________________________________________ ℹ️ OVERVIEW: Our route: Kathmandu 🏯🏍️ -> Chitwan National Park🦏🌴 -> Bandipur 🌄-> Pokhara 🚣-> Lower Mustang ⛰️-> Pokhara 🪂-> (Gorkha 🕌) -> Kathmandu 🏍️🏯 📅 Days 1-3: Kathmandu – The Holy City 🏯 Our journey begins in Nepal's capital. We will all meet up for dinner at the latest to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere 🍜🍻. The next day, we will have time to explore the most beautiful highlights of this bustling city and get any equipment we need for our big Nepal motorcycle trip. 🏯 📅 Day 3-5 Chitwan National Park 🦏 🏍 Stage: 150km - ⭐⭐ medium (70% asphalt, winding) From Kathmandu, our first stage takes us through the mountains and down into the tropical lowlands of Nepal. Chitwan National Park on the border with India is one of the most important and species-rich national parks in South Asia. Here we have various options for exploring the national park, e.g. on a guided jeep safari or on foot. The chances of seeing wild rhinos, crocodiles, and other large animals are comparatively high in Nepal and a unique opportunity. (✅ Half-day safari + national park fee included in the tour price). 📅 Day 5-6 Bandipur – the living museum 🛕 🏍 Stage: 90km – ⭐ easy (95% asphalt, heavy traffic) Our second stage takes us back into the mountains to the mountain village of Bandipur. The route from the lowlands to the Kathmandu Valley is one of the most important connecting roads and therefore very busy, but in relatively good condition. After 3-4 hours on the motorcycle, you can spend the afternoon enjoying the historic trading town and strolling through the lovingly restored old town. The next morning, early risers are rewarded with a unique view of the Annapurna Mountains in the light of the sunrise. In the early morning, we continue on to Pokhara. 📅 Day 6-8 Pokhara - The outdoor paradise 🏞️🚣 (76km) 🏍 Stage: 76km - ⭐ easy (80% asphalt, mostly well developed) Today's stage to Pokhara is comparatively relaxed at only 76km. Pokhara is one of the tourist cities in Nepal, but that also has its good sides. Accommodations and restaurants here are of a good standard and you can buy everything you need for outdoor sports (and motorcycle tours to the highlands). Pokhara offers countless opportunities such as bungee jumping from the second highest bridge in the world, paragliding, kayaking, rafting, or trekking tours through the Annapurna Mountains. Almost anything is possible here. ✅ A half-day rafting tour 🚣 and the TIMS tracking permit are already included in the tour price. 📅 Days 8-10 Lower Mustang Valley – the deepest gorge in the world ⛰️ 🏍 Stage: 🔄320km - ⭐⭐⭐ challenging (20% asphalt, little infrastructure) Ready for even more motorcycle adventures? If so, join me through the Lower Mustang Valley to the Kali Gandaki Gorge, surrounded by the highest mountains in the world. The route offers increasing levels of difficulty (asphalt, unpaved roads, gravel, rough scree) with various gradients and a few river crossings. If you only feel confident about doing part of the route or would rather spend your time trekking or relaxing in Pokhara for a few days, that's no problem either – we'll find a solution. (✅ Fee for TIMS Card - Mustang Valley included in the tour price) 📅 Day 10-12 Pokhara - Time at the lake 🏞️ (76km) After 3 exciting days in the Mustang Valley, it's time for a day of relaxation. The day is at your leisure and can be used again for action activities or spa visits. 📅 Day 12-13: Return to Kathmandu 🏁 🏍 Stage: 200km - ⭐⭐ medium (75% asphalt, some construction sites, heavy traffic) The final stage takes us through the river valley from Pokhara to Kathmandu via Nepal's main traffic route. During my last visit, the road was undergoing continuous expansion, but there are still frequent "off-road" construction sites along the way that cost time. It is possible to spend one night less in Pokhara and ride part of the stage the day before and stay overnight in the old royal city of Gorkha (Gorkha -> Kathmandu 145km). 📅 Day 13-14 Kathmandu ✈️ To recover from the last stage of our Nepal motorcycle tour (and as a buffer day), we have another day in Kathmandu before our Nepal motorcycle tour ends the next morning. The day is free for you to do as you please. There is also the option of extending the motorcycle rental by one day (❌ not included in the tour price) and visiting a Himalayan viewpoint in the east of Kathmandu, from where, with a little luck and VERY good weather, you can see the summit of Mount Everest. ________________________________________ What can you expect on this trip? ➕ Travel to one of the most exciting countries in the world 🛤️ ➕ Discover the "roof of the world" individually on a motorcycle 🏍️ ➕ Ride a real Royal Enfield through the deepest gorge in the world ⛰️🏍️⛰️ ➕ The perfect mix of action, nature, culture, and adventure. 🧭 ➕ A cool travel group with a maximum of 6 participants🤗 ➕ Marvel at the sunrise in front of the highest mountains in the world 🌄 ➕ Meet other travelers from all over the world in Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara 🍻🌏 ➕ Embark on new adventures with rafting, trekking, or safaris 🚣🧗🦏 ➕ Enjoy one of the best (vegetarian) cuisines in the world🍜 What is included in the tour price? ✅ 10-day motorbike rental incl. helmet (see all included motorbikes below) ✅ Accommodation (13 nights in private single room) ✅ 10x simple continental breakfast ✅ Permit fee Chitwan national park - Chitwan ✅ Half day safari (jeep or walking) - Chitwan ✅ Half day rafting tour - Pokhara ✅ TIMS Card (for Mustang valley or trekking) - Pokhara ✅ Complete planning, organization, and customized packing lists ✅ 24/7 customer service and support by joinmytrip.com What is not included in the tour price? ❌ (International) Flights to/from Nepal (Kathmandu) ❌ Visa fee (15$-30$) ❌ Daily meals, snacks & drinks (approx. 5§-10$ per day) ❌ Fuel (approx. 3-4$ per 100km) ❌ Optional: ACAP permit for Mustang valley (approx. $22) ❌ Optional: Insurance deductible & motorcycle equipment (jacket, shoes, etc.) ❌ Optional: Repair costs for flat tires ($10) or other minor breakdowns (max. $50) 🔧🙈 ❌ Optional: entrance fees for sights, museums, and temples in Kathmandu and along the way ❌ Everything else that is not listed or marked with ❌ ________________________________________ ℹ️🏍️ Motorcycles (depending on availability): ✅ Royal Enfield classic (350cc) ✅ Hero Xpulse (200cc) ✅ Yamaha FZS (150cc) ✅ Honda XR (150cc) ✅ Bajaj Pulsar (220cc) ✅ Ktm Duke (200cc) (✅) Royal Enfield Himalayan (411cc) + $15/day (✅) Royal Enfield Scram (411cc) + $15/day Each motorcycle is checked and serviced by the workshop before departure.

The rainy season is over, the temperatures are pleasant (cool in the mountains, tropical in the lowlands), and the landscape is blooming and green in all its glory. But most importantly, the air is relatively clear, allowing for distant views of the world's highest mountains, especially in the morning! Ideal conditions for a motorcycle trip in Nepal! We will also be traveling during the Hindu Festival of Lights (Diwali - similar to Christmas). This provides a great opportunity to gain a deeper insight into Nepalese Hindu culture! ________________________________________
