The Motorbike Tour to Upper Mustang is an adventure that takes you to the edge of the Tibetan plateau, offering a glimpse into a world where ancient traditions and stunning landscapes coexist. This journey is not just a ride; it’s a passage through a land that time forgot, where the spirit of adventure leads you through the heart of the Himalayas.
Upper Mustang, known as the last forbidden kingdom, is a bastion of Tibetan culture and untouched natural beauty. The region is a mosaic of barren landscapes, deep canyons, and rock formations, with a history that dates back centuries. Lo Manthang, the walled capital, stands as a testament to the region’s storied past.
Motorbike touring in Upper Mustang is a relatively new phenomenon, but it has quickly become a sought-after experience for riders around the world. The region’s challenging terrain and the allure of its cultural heritage make it an ultimate destination for those seeking a ride on the wild side.
The tour begins in Kathmandu, taking you through the bustling streets before heading towards the serene city of Pokhara. From there, the ride ascends into the heart of Upper Mustang, passing through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world’s deepest river gorge. The route offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs, with stops at sacred sites like the Muktinath Temple.
