Nepal Motorcycle Adventure
11 Nights / 12 Days
Nepal Himalayas
The Last Forbidden Kingdom
Hidden behind the towering Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, Upper Mustang is a land of ancient Tibetan culture, dramatic landscapes, and timeless monasteries. Often referred to as the "Last Forbidden Kingdom," this remote region of Nepal was closed to outsiders until the 1990s, preserving its centuries-old traditions, monasteries, and stunning Himalayan desert terrain. Embark on an unforgettable motorcycle adventure through the barren yet breathtaking landscapes, ride along the winding trails of the Kali Gandaki River, and explore the mystical walled city of Lo Manthang, the capital of the former Mustang Kingdom. This journey will take you through hidden caves, Buddhist stupas, deep gorges, and wind-sculpted cliffs, offering a surreal experience unlike any other in Nepal.
