Everest View Motorbike Tour

Best Climatic Condition for the Everest View Motorbike Tour

Our Everest view tour is a delight at any time of the year, still, autumn and spring will be ideal for bikers to take on our Everest view tour.

Autumn stretching from September throughout the November days will be the most exciting time to explore the new road to Everest and its landscapes. The pleasant autumn heat between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius will allow you to enjoy your ride more comfortably without the oppressive heat of summer.

Plus the roads are at their driest, the skies are at their clearest thus offering you the crystal clear spectacle of Everest and its majestic companions.

Likewise, the transitioning colors of nature will give you extraordinary photographic moments at every turn allowing you to make the most of this adventure.

Spring (March, April, May) on the other hand is the magical time for all motorcyclists. As temperatures climb to 25 degrees Celsius, the days start to stretch longer perfect for long hours in the saddle. The awakening nature offers enchanting scenery and perfect roads for unforgettable experiences.

Winter, stretching from December to the end of February, may seem like an uninviting time for bikers. Yet, it brings its own distinct charm. The season presents the cold and little snow at Pattale Danda but the warm hugging of the all-day shining sun will be delightful for the journey.

And, to elevate your spirits, there will be a brilliant blue sky and the magical spectacle of the hills and mountains. However, it’s essential to dress appropriately and take some caution on the icy, slippery roads.

On the other hand, summer (June, July, August) can be less enchanting with scorching heat, and torrential rains that often reduce the visibility. The routes we chose for you are well-paved Highways but they can become treacherous when wet posing threats even for experienced bikers.

How hard is the Everest View Motorbike Tour?

Our Everest view tour by motorbike is rather a trip and an adventure taking place along the comfortable on-road scenic Highways of Araniko, BP, and Bardibas.

It is not a marathon or a race, nor it is a rugged off-road high-altitude biking adventure. Instead, it is one of the easy and beginner-friendly motorbiking tours in Nepal perfect for those motorcyclists who like to begin their first international biking expedition.

That being said, we still need you to be able to ride your bikes independently at least on on-road paved travels so a few years of experience with motorcycle riding is a must including some off-road practice.

You must be able to control your machine on small mountain roads, hairpin turns and curves, and off-road in general. Most of our journey will be on asphalt and gravel but sometimes stone roads, sand, and more difficult passages may occur.

Plus we do not always know what awaits us, however, you will have help from our expert team of guide and mechanic and we also do not expect you to drive beyond your capacity.

We also do not tend to drive once it becomes dark. Please remember, that there can be long days in the saddle and there can be changes in the daily travel program, so you should expect some challenges en route.

For example, there can be punctures or breakdowns which will be attempted on-site but delays on the trip may happen. Therefore, you should preferably be able to maintain your enthusiasm and focus for many hours. Our Everest View tour requires that you are in okay physical shape and do not have any challenges with your health in general.

Support and Safety Practice during our 6 Days Everest View tour

Our Everest view motorbike tour is not only an easy journey but also an adventurous, thrilling, and entirely safe trip along one of the best trails to Mount Everest.

Firstly, the roads that we follow are expansive Highways all the time with an exception at Pattale Danda where the road can be slightly narrower, and serpentine running along the verdant green hills.

Secondly, we as a competent organizer of this tour greatly emphasize the comfort and safety of each of our bikers. On this tour, your saddle will be the faithful classic on-road and off-road bike of Royal Enfields with 350 cc capacity that has been fully maintained and supervised by our skilled mechanic.

Plus, you will never be alone on this trip; our support vehicle will follow you ensuring any help is always close by so you can have the best and most trouble-free experience on two wheels.

This support vehicle will not only carry your belongings, fuels, and spare parts for the bikes, but also repair tools, and the rest of our team comprising a mechanic and guide.

If something unforeseen happens, if your motorcycle breaks down or other challenges arise, we have all the necessary equipment to handle the situation.

Our team is experienced and ready to assist, so you can quickly move on and enjoy the rest of the trip. If not, the bike will be carried to the nearest workshop which can be found plenty on the road so you will have an uninterrupted journey.

Additionally, this is not a high-altitude region but the lower area where the maximum height will be at Pattale Danda at 2800 m elevation. Likewise, you will have a comfortable night at Kathmandu and Khurkot while a cozy mountain lodge will offer you a comfortable night stay at Pattale Danda.

So, do not worry about any risks and just come on in our journey to see the mountain that ranks the tallest in the world.

What makes our Everest view motorbike tour a worthwhile experience?

Our Everest View tour is all about experiencing amazing landscapes and driving on exciting roads. It is also about prioritizing a pace that accommodates all riders. Our day trips are planned so that there is time for both adventure and fun, while safety and comfort are paramount.

Our daily stages are usually around 120 kilometers long where we have chosen the best route to be near Everest. Here, you will have varied experiences from the long expansive asphalted road to the winding mountain roads to the open landscape where you can truly enjoy the freedom of a motorcycle.

Likewise, we always aim to drive in daylight, so you can enjoy the view and ensure optimal driving conditions. That’s why we typically start early in the day and plan our route so that you can reach your destination for the day while there is still time to relax, enjoy a good meal, and have some fun together.

When you arrive at the accommodation, there is usually time to share the day’s experiences with the group, have a meal, and maybe even explore the area a bit before getting ready for the next day’s adventure.

There will also be several short breaks where you can stretch your legs, enjoy a cup of coffee, or take pictures of the beautiful surroundings. In addition, we have planned a longer break in the middle of the day where you have something to eat and recharge for the next part of the route.

Additionally, we have put efforts to ensure that your day trip is exceptionally comfortable. That’s why, all your daily luggage will be stored in the accompanying vehicle so you don’t have to carry heavy equipment on the motorcycle and can concentrate on enjoying the road.

When you arrive at the overnight lodging, your luggage will be ready for you so you can quickly settle in and just relax. On the other hand, our accompanying guide will always asses the route, traffic conditions, and any challenges to minimize the risk of unforeseen incidents, such as sharp turns, uneven roads, or dangerous terrain.

Thus, from safety to comfort, and from adventure to relaxation, we have carefully arranged every aspect of this tour, and we invite you to join us.

Difference between the Everest Base Camp Motorbike Tour and the Everest View Motorbike Tour

Please note that here we are discussing about the Everest View tour that will take you to the exceptional vantage point of Pattale Danda to observe Mount Everest up close.

This tour is ideal for those who have time constraints in Nepal but still wish to experience the majesty of Everest and its neighboring peaks. Additionally, it is also made for those who are looking for an easy mountain trip on their two-wheel.

Additionally, this tour is entirely hassle-free, as it does not require any permits, unlike the treks to the south or north Everest base camps. We would like to clarify that this tour will not take you to Everest Base Camp or along its trails.

Instead, you will be taken to Pattale Danda, which is the second-best viewing point for Everest after Kala Patthar. To reach Everest Base Camp, you must either trek or opt for a helicopter excursion.

The Everest Base Camp motorbike tour is a different experience that will lead you to the north base camp of Everest on the Tibetan side. This journey can be quite hectic due to the complex visa and permit requirements, as well as the associated costs and deposits.

Therefore, if you are seeking for the most comfortable and accessible way to get close to Everest, we encourage you to consider joining our Everest View Tour.

Arrangement of Transportation during 6 Days Everest view tour

For our Everest view tour by motorbike, we offer you the adventure model of Royal Enfields 350 cc bikes that are capable of handling both asphalt and challenging terrain. However, you will have the flexibility of choosing between a Honda CRF, or Royal Enfield Himalaya 411.

Please remember, that choosing another model of the bike can cost you an added price. As for our selection of the Royal Enfield model, it is known for its low balance point, making it easy to handle even when the terrain gets challenging.

It is easy to ride, reliable, and versatile, making it an obvious choice if you want a motorcycle that can handle both technical trails and longer-day rides. It also has power and, an elegant design, with the comfort for longer stretches. It is therefore particularly suitable for longer trips where asphalt and gravel are combined.

However, if you decide to bring your own machine (if you think you can handle the hassle of the custom and the high price), please remember, that lighter bike models are easier to handle while heaver bike models offer high comfort and stability over longer distances.

So consider the factor of terrain, your ability, and your skill when you opt to bring your own saddle for the tour. Also, kindly inform us beforehand if you choose to bring your own machine so we can make sure of the availability of the maintenance and spare parts.

No matter if you choose to rent the bike from us or bring your own one, the most important thing is that you should feel safe and comfortable on your motorcycle so you can enjoy the adventure to the fullest.

As for other transportation services that we include in our Everest View motorbike tour, we will also offer you airport transfer in and out at the start and the end of the journey.

Is there a threat of Acute Mountain Sickness/AMS on the Everest View motorbike tour?

The occurrence of AMS or altitude sickness during our Everest View Tour is quite low. Your adventure will commence in Kathmandu, which sits at 1350 m altitude. Then, you will travel to Khurkot, your first overnight location outside Kathmandu which also rests at around 1350 m elevation.

The only higher altitude you will encounter on this tour is at Pattale Danda, which reaches 2800 m altitude. Therefore the probability of AMS is rare, although we cannot guarantee its complete absence.

This is because traveling by two-wheel or four-wheel may not allow your body to acclimatize as effectively as hiking does. During the drive, you will experience a rapid transition in altitude so when you travel to Pattale Danda, you will suddenly find yourself gaining 1400 m altitude within 5 to 6 hours.

This can trigger the onset of mild manifestations of AMS in the form of headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. However, since you will be spending the night at Pattale Danda, your body will have the opportunity to adjust, and these symptoms are likely to disappear overnight.

We suggest all our motorcyclists stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and carrying a water bottle throughout the trip. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of stretching during breaks to prevent fatigue. The decision to take Diamox is a personal one; this medication will help you quickly acclimatize to the higher elevation.

Physical Fitness and Preparation for the Everest view tour by motorbike

As aforementioned, our Everest view motorbike tour is not a marathon but an adventurous trip about exploring the exciting terrains. Still, you will be spending long hours on your saddle each day therefore good basic fitness and mental preparation are required.

During our 6 Days Everest view tour, you should expect to spend 4 to 6 hours on the motorbike each day. Additionally, the moderately challenging mountain terrain of Pattale Danda can make the trip a bit demanding.

Therefore, it is important for you to be in reasonable physical shape so that you can keep your energy and focus high throughout the day. Likewise, you should also be mentally prepared for any unforeseen events such as tire punctures, motorbike breakdowns, or minor accidents even.

You should be mentally stronger to tackle these slight upsets during the trip. Therefore, for the right preparation, we recommend regular exercise, which strengthens both endurance and agility.

Longer rides on the motorcycle before departure are a good way to prepare. It helps you get used to long days in the saddle and strengthens your mental resilience.

Be very vigilant about the signals your body presents to you during such a tour so you can establish the right comfortable posture for yourself. You should also focus on practicing maneuvers on curves and controlling your machine during sudden turns.

The preparation however won’t stop but will continue even during the trip. You should create a routine of inspecting your tires, their air pressure, the condition of your clutches and brakes, etc.

And, do not forget to take in-breaks between to stretch and focus on sustaining alertness.

Accommodation and Meal

On our 6 Days Everest view tour, a cozy three-star hotel will host you for two nights while a splendid three-star resort will provide you warm two-night settlement in Khurkot.

A room for you will have two spacious beds for you and your fellow riding companion. The room will also have a private attached bathroom, 24-hour hot water supply, and free WiFi available around the clock.

Your overnight accommodations will also have a front desk for any questions, a bar to sip your favorite drinks and a restaurant that serves delicious meals.

At Pattale Danda, however, you will have to make up for one night in a simpler tea house. You will have to share a room with two beds, and WiFi may cost you an added charge. There may or may not be the availability of a private bathroom though.

As for dining options, breakfast in Kathmandu, breakfast and dinner in Khurkot, and dinner at Pattale are included as part of our comprehensive service.

Other meal options are self-catered so you can choose the menu according to your taste. Many of our guests have enjoyed this setup and provided us with positive feedback. You can expect to spend between 25 to 30 US dollars for meals, based on your preferences.

Travel Insurance

Undoubtedly, our Everest view motorbike tour will be a fantastic experience for you but to make it more eventful, you must prepare yourself with the right insurance. Please remember, that it is important to ensure that you are properly insured both as a traveler and a motorcyclist.

Therefore, you must have a valid and comprehensive travel and accident insurance. It is because the healthcare system in Nepal will be very different from your homeland and if an accident should happen, it can quickly become a costly affair.

Ensure your insurance covers medical treatment including hospitalization and possible surgeries, and home transport in the event of serious illness or injury where you cannot travel home in the normal way.

Also, look out for the policy that has special provisions for motorcyclists, particularly for protective gear. Additionally, your insurance should cover air rescue costs for elevations up to 3,000 m during our Everest View tour.

Do not forget about the coverage that can support you in case of any damage you may cause to other people or their property. And, if you are planning to bring your bike, make sure you have a comprehensive package that covers damage to your own motorcycle, for example in the event of an accident or theft.

You should also check whether your current insurance covers transportation of the motorcycle, both to and from the destination. We recommend that you contact your insurance company and review your current coverage to ensure everything is in place before traveling.
