❋
Motorcycle Expedition
March 19–28, 2027
9 DAYS / 8 NIGHTS
Experience Nepal beyond the usual tourist route.
From the lakeside streets of Pokhara to the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge, the high-altitude landscapes of Mustang and Muktinath, and the rugged trails leading into the Annapurna region, this expedition takes you deep into the heart of the Himalayas.
This is a journey through some of Nepal's most incredible landscapes—mountain villages, river valleys, high passes, rocky trails and wide-open Himalayan views. The riding is part of the experience, but the real reward is everything you encounter along the way.Approximate riding distances and times may vary depending on road and weather conditions.
