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.

What about accommodation – Comfortable hotels in the cities, more basic lodges in the high mountains. Higher standard than my usual Nepal trip. Based in twin bedded rooms.

Where is it? – Start in Kathmandu, Nepal, ride to Nuwakot and the Tibetan border. Cross 5000+ metre passes and ride to Lhasa. Return to Kathmandu via Everest Base Camp, on the Tibetan side.

How difficulty is it – 4 / 5. Heavy city traffic leaving Kathmandu. Dodgy unsurfaced roads in Nepal. Changign to well surfaced but HIGH ALTITUDE roads in Tibet

When is it? – April 26th to May 11th 2020

How much does it cost – £3450 GBP per rider. £1750 GBP per pillion passenger or jeep passenger. Single Supplementary Charge: (£685 GBP)

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.

What people say about our tours

EPIC!! Great views

I’ve also joined Bill on two Nepal Tours, the first time alone and the second with my partner who also rides. To sum these trips up in one word is simple….. EPIC!! Great views, incredible and challenging riding, a real flavour of the true Nepal and an amazing support crew are all on the agenda. If you’ve never ridden anywhere like Nepal then you should definitely try this!

Many great memories

The Alps Tour (2008) remains a highlight of my life. Many great memories of a real ‘adventure’. It never felt overly prescribed, in fact it felt spontaneous, like a bunch of mates out for a 10-day ride. The roads and routes that Bill chose were challenging and rewarding, with breathtaking scenery and great food and beverage stops along the way. Can’t imagine any better roads in the world to ride. I came from Canada and it was my first time on a ‘big bike’ (600cc) and I worried I was taking on more than I could handle, but Bill and the rest of the group we had that year were encouraging and supportive, and made sure I was never left behind! Great comraderie, loads of laughs and lifelong friends were made. If I lived in the UK or Europe, I’d be attending more of Bill’s tours on a regular basis.

Fantastic

I’ve been on several tours with Bike Tours Uk and each and every one of them has been a brilliant experience. Twice on the Best of Three tour we’ve been blessed with largely excellent weather and the small village in which we stayed was stunning with homely local pubs, good grub and a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Having run the trip for years Bills and sniffed out all the best roads to ride including some quite challenging Lake District passes.
