Stay program

• day 1:

  Arrival in Kathmandu

  

  Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport. After clearing immigration, collecting your luggage, and passing through customs, a representative from Triptresor will meet you with a sign displaying your name at the exit. Transfer to the hotel and check-in. Overnight at the hotel.

• day 2:

  Kathmandu to Pokhara (200 km)

  

  Enjoy a scenic ride along the road. Lunch will be taken en route. Keep a keen eye and drive cautiously on this chaotic road until you finally reach the vibrant yet narrow streets of the town. Once in Pokhara, check into the hotel. In the evening, you can stroll around the lake and relax at one of the lakeside restaurants. Overnight at the hotel.

• day 3:

  Pokhara to Tatopani (105 km)

  

  Depart from Pokhara on a Royal Enfield towards Beni – 80 km on a well-maintained road, regularly served by buses heading to Beni. However, the road from Beni to Tatopani is more challenging. If there’s no rain, it’s manageable, but if it rains, the road can get muddy. Fortunately, the road remains mostly level, with no steep climbs, though it’s still an adventurous ride. We take it slow on the dirt road, stopping at many scenic spots for photos or simply to rest and admire the beautiful landscapes. Upon arrival in Tatopani, get your ACAP permit stamped and check into the hotel. In the evening, relax in the natural hot spring by the Kali Gandaki River. Overnight in Tatopani.

• day 4:

  From Tatopani to Tukuche (35 km)

  

  Tatopani to Ghasa (13 km) This area is prone to landslides, and riding a motorcycle can be challenging, especially during the final 5 km before Ghasa. After the rain subsides, mudslides can still occur. Heavy machinery is often on hand to keep the road passable. The last 5 km are quite tough with large rocks obstructing the way. Ghasa to Kalapani (14 km) This section has some of the most difficult passages, with steep cliffs on your right. You’ll have a close-up view of Annapurna, one of the most difficult 8,000-meter peaks in the world. Kobang to Tukuche (8 km) Ride between two icy 8,000-meter peaks. You’ll ride along a road between these towering giants. There’s a river crossing via a wide suspension bridge, with spectacular photo opportunities of the icy summits. If weather permits, we’ll take a short hike for a great view of Dhaulagiri. Overnight in Tukuche.

• day 5:

  From Tukuche to Muktinath (31 km)

  

  Tukuche to Jomsom (12 km) A smooth ride from Tukuche to Jomsom. No steep slopes or missing tarmac, and the road is manageable, with just a few minor river crossings. Amazingly, there’s a small airport in Jomsom, and it’s quite impressive to watch the small planes take off. Jomsom is the largest town in Mustang, bustling with cafés and hotels. After leaving Jomsom, we’ll continue along winding streams. Jomsom to Muktinath (19 km) The landscape becomes sparse and more rugged as we ascend out of the world's deepest gorge and ride along the highest mountain range in the world. The scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. We cross the famous Kali Gandaki River via a small suspension bridge and begin our climb towards Muktinath, revealing the Mustang's magnificent lunar landscape. Upon arriving in Muktinath, we check into the hotel. The views from the rooftop are breathtaking. Overnight at the hotel.

We also visit the nearby monastery, where you can see an eternal flame burning. Buddhists call this site "Chumi Gyatsa," which means "100 waters." We'll take a leisurely walk through neighboring villages and explore more monasteries. Optional afternoon descent to Marpha. Overnight at the hotel.

Overnight at the hotel.

• day 10:

  Begnas Lake

  

  Surrounded by pristine nature, with bubbling mountain springs forming natural boundaries, Begnas Lake stretches across a hill of preserved forests.

• day 11:

  Begnas Lake to Nuwakot (via Mugling)
