MOTORCYCLE:
Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. Motorcycle rental is included in the tour price.
TOUR DESCRIPTION:
Mustang: Ride into the Forbidden Kingdom
Remote. Rugged. Real.
This isn’t a spa retreat with a motorcycle on the side. This is Mustang — one of the most isolated, culturally rich, and dramatically beautiful regions of the Himalayas. Until recently, it was closed to foreigners. Now, the roads are changing fast. So if you want to see it before the concrete takes over, now’s the time to go.
Our tour dives straight into the heart of Upper Mustang. Expect epic landscapes that shift from lush, green valleys to the high-altitude desert of the trans-Himalayas. This is riding through a time warp — past 1,000-year-old monasteries, villages lost in the clouds, and the 8,000m peaks of the Anapurna that pierce the sky.
You’ll cross the longest suspension bridge in the world at Kushma, explore sacred sites like Muktinath, and — if the political winds are in our favor — ride all the way to Kora La Pass on the border with Tibet.
The tracks? Dirt, gravel, rocks, sand. The comforts? Minimal. The experience? Off the charts.
We ride where few others do, with full support: bikes,, permits, guide, backup vehicle, and meals. Nights are in authentic, welcoming accommodation where you can relax and recover.
This is the raw Himalayas. You’re not here to lounge. You’re here to ride.
It’s not just a motorcycle tour — it’s a front-row seat to the vanishing edge of the Himalayas.
