Nepal, discover this 13-day trip

Trip Description

A guided Royal Enfield motorcycle tour through the most beautiful valleys of Mustang, offering spectacular views of the mountains and the ethnic cultures of Nepal. We start with a ride in Pokhara, the most relaxing lakeside city in Nepal. We then cross the picturesque countryside and take the recently built dirt road along the most popular trekking trail of the Annapurna, to arrive at Tatopani. The mountain views are breathtaking, and the landscape as well as the structure of the houses will make you feel like you are in Tibet and not in Nepal. We explore the Muktinath region at an altitude of 3800 m and the surrounding monasteries, then take the same route back.

Stay program

day 1
Arrival in Kathmandu
Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. After passing through immigration, collecting your luggage and clearing customs, a Triptresor representative will be waiting for you at the exit with a sign displaying your name. Transfer to the hotel and check-in. Overnight at the hotel.
day 2
From Kathmandu to Pokhara (200 km)
Nice ride on the road. Lunch on the way on the road. A watchful eye and alert driving are essential on this chaotic road, until we finally reach the city with its narrow but lively streets. Once in Pokhara, check-in at the hotel. You can take a walk in the evening around the lake and relax in one of the restaurants overlooking the lake. Night at the hotel.
day 3
From Pokhara to Tatopani (105 km)
We leave Pokhara on a Royal Enfield towards Beni: 80 km on a road in perfect condition, also served by regular buses going to Beni. However, the road from Beni to Tatopani is a bit more difficult. No problem if there is no rain, but in that case, the road becomes muddy. At least, the whole road is more or less at the same level, so no climbing. But it's still an adventurous ride, that's for sure. We ride more slowly on the dirt road and stop in many beautiful places to take photos or simply rest and enjoy the landscapes that unfold before our eyes. In Tatopani, have your ACAP permit stamped and check in at the hotel. Enjoy the natural hot spring by the Kali Gandaki river in the evening. Night in Tatopani.
day 4
From Tatopani to Tukuche (35 km)
From Tatopani to Ghasa: 13 km This is a landslide risk area, and riding a motorcycle can be quite demanding, especially over the last 5 kilometers before reaching Ghasa. Even after the rain has stopped, mudslides can occur. There are always heavy machines on site to keep traffic flowing smoothly. The last 5 kilometers are quite tough, with large rocks blocking the way. From Ghasa to Kalapani: 14 km This section of the road has the most complicated passages; on your right is a precipice. Close-up view of Annapurna, one of the most difficult 8,000 m peaks in the world. From Kobang to Tukuche: 8 km Motorcycle ride between two icy 8,000-meter peaks. You will now ride on a road passing between two 8,000 m peaks. A river crosses a wide suspension bridge, and once again, spectacular photo sessions of the icy peaks of giants: there will be enough time to take pictures. If the weather allows, we will have the chance to take a short hike with a superb view of Dhaulagiri. Overnight in Tukuche.
day 5
From Tukuche to Muktinath (31 km)
From Tukuche - Jomsom 12 km Easy motorcycle ride from Tukuche to Jomsom. No steep slopes or missing tarmac, the road is passable. However, we do encounter a few small river crossings. Hard to believe, but there is a small airport in Jomsom. It's quite impressive to see the small planes take off. Jomsom is the largest town in Mustang and is full of cafés and hotels. We leave Jomsom and continue our journey through the winding streams. From Jomsom - Muktinath 19 km - Spectacular view of Dhaulagiri The environment becomes sparse and more threatening. We are no longer in the deepest gorges in the world, but we are navigating at the top of the highest mountain range in the world. The landscape becomes more and more spectacular. We continue our ride and cross the famous Kali Gandaki river on a small suspension bridge. As we pass the riverbed and begin our ascent to Muktinath, the magnificent lunar landscape of Mustang unfolds in a series of treeless hills. Upon our arrival in Muktinath, we settle into the hotel. The views are incredible from the roof. We will go for a walk in the evening in town and, why not, in the small souvenir shops. Night at the hotel.
day 6
Muktinath
After breakfast, we will walk to the Muktinath temple. It is an easy 30-minute walk, overlooking the Dhaulagiri (8160 m), Nilgiri (7060 m), Tukuche Peak (6837 m) massifs and the Muktinath mountain range which rises to 6700 m. Next to the Muktinath temple, we will also visit the convent where we will see an eternal flame burning. Buddhist followers call it Chumi Gyatsa, which literally means "100 waters." We will take a leisurely walk in the neighboring villages and explore many other monasteries. Optional descent in the early afternoon to Marpha. Overnight at the hotel.
day 7
Muktinath to Tatopani
We return by taking the same path as on the way there. Upon arrival in Tatopani, check-in at the hotel. You can then rest. Night at the hotel.
day 8
Tatopani
Free time. Optional short hike or activities near Tatopani. Night at the hotel.
day 9
From Tatopani to Begnas Lake (135 km)
We pass through the deepest gorges in the world. The cool mountain climate gives way to the heat of the jungle, which seems to engulf us. The Himalayas disappear in the distance. Just before reaching Begnas Lake, you are in for a treat: a pure delight for bikers! We will reach the Begnas Lake resort in the late afternoon and the rest of the day will be free. Overnight at the hotel.
day 10
Begnas Lake
Surrounded by unspoiled nature, with bubbling mountain springs forming natural boundaries on each side, Lake Begnas stretches across an entire hill of preserved forests. To the north and northeast rise the great snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, below which lie terraced rice fields and the peaceful Lake Begnas, offering a perfect setting. Enjoy your stay at Lake Begnas. Night at the hotel.
day 11
From Begnas Lake to Nuwakot (via Mugling)
After breakfast, we will resume our journey to Nuwakot with a stop in Mugling. We will get back on the highway and, 46 km before the city of Kathmandu, we will turn left to head towards the Nuwakot district by taking the new Nepal-China highway. Beautiful views of the mountains, rice fields, and river valleys. We will ascend to the old small town of Nuwakot. We will visit the historic Nuwakot palace, now a museum overlooking a small hill. Overnight in Nuwakot.
day 12
From Nuwakot to Kathmandu
