What are the highlights – Stay in the mystical capital cities of Kathmandu and Lhasa. Immerse yorself in both Nepalese and Tibetan cultures in one trip. Ride “on top of the world” using Royal Enfield Bullets or Himalayans. Enjoy peerless mountain vistas of The Himalayas – the greatest mountain range in the world.
What the suitability – For slightly rugged, unflappable individuals who can keep going when the going gets tough. The roads can be difficult and challenging in Nepal, but improve in Tibet. A total eye-opener for the virgin traveller, but still captivating for the weary & well-seasoned Nomad.

More about the tour
The amazing new adventure! Enabling you to ride, or travel as pillion in two Himalayan countries. Ride on almost empty roads in the barren treeless landscape of the Tibetan Plateau. See small settlements of people still immersed the ancient Tibetan culture and lifestyles. Nomadic herdsman grazing their animals, and in the background, the highest mountains of the planet. Visit ancient monasteries, several palaces including Potala palace, other various religious and culturally important sites, ride through the turquoise lakes, small villages and even take a glimpse of Everest, from Tibetan-side basecamp – the world’s highest mountain at 8848 metres above sea level. Great bunch of people to ride with and a fantastic local support team to assist when it gets tough.
