Experience a ride through the deepest gorge in the world…

Tour Overview

Ride from Kathmandu through the middle hills and home of the ‘Gurkhas’ before entering the Lower Mustang region of Nepal. Mustang is closely linked to Tibet and geographically similar with barren plains and remote high altitude villages.

On this tour we visit the highest temple in the world, Muktinath and view 3 of the 8000m+ peaks; Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Manaslu. About half of this tour is highway riding and half is on local jeep tracks. Truly mind-blowing scenery with sometimes challenging terrain.
