Why should you pick us for your Nepal Motorbike Tour?

As a worthy and truthful travel company in Nepal, our mission is to be a complete and important travel guide for each of our clients. We are not only the leaders in formulating hiking trips but also in organizing motorcycle trips through various corners of Nepal.

One such journey is our Nepal Motorbike Tour, where we are dedicated to providing you with an authentic journey and unforgettable moments that are rightfully yours to enjoy.

Some may say you can organize the motorcycle trip on your own. However, it is like in sport; going to the gym under the motivation of a trainer will be more effective than doing the pull-ups on your own. Such is the value of our organized trips, where our seasoned guide will try to motivate you in every moment of weakness.

We also have our skilled mechanic follow you throughout the route, so if you get a flat tire on a rocky road, he will fix it quickly. If the brake or clutch lever breaks, he will replace it. If the engine won’t start, he will give you another motorcycle and take the broken one back to the base.

There will also be an escort vehicle in our Nepal Motorbike Tour. It will have everything from the necessary tools and spare parts to a first aid kit. The trunk will hold your personal belongings so you can travel light without heavy bags.

In addition, there will also be no need to look for accommodation and cafes or think through the route. We have thought through this and already made arrangements for your lodging and dining.

Also, in such motorcycle trips, the path can often take you by surprise. Although the route of our journey will be mostly on the road, there will also be off-road adventures where there is the possibility of any mishaps. In such scenarios, it will be our guide’s concern to take you to safety.

Our accompanying team will not only look out for your safety but also try to entertain you in the evening as well. So if you are a confident rider with a year of experience, then do not think twice to come with us on this remarkable journey.

Why did we choose the Royal Enfield 350 cc for this trip?

We know there are bikes that are nicer and aesthetically beautiful than the Royal Enfield. They may also be more technologically advanced and faster, but the Royal Enfield bikes are anti-radar bikes.

In addition, the brand has made vital improvisation over the last decades to boost its performance. Today, this machine is known for tackling more rugged terrain, such as Nepa,l which closely resembles the narrow goat trails that run through the mountains and hills.

This machine is simple yet very versatile. What other bike could be more ideal for traveling a region filled with majestic mountains, breathtaking landscapes, and remote, twisting roads? Even when tackling sharp curves, you can maintain speed without the need to drop to lower revs.

In addition, this machine can endure the load of your luggage and best fit, and provides a comfortable position for every rider. Its seat height, handlebar position, and foot pegs are also wonderfully fit for any motorcyclist.

It also has a powerful engine that can safely overcome various roads and off-road conditions. It has well well-tuned suspension, so it is stable on the road and can easily overcome difficult sections. It also has brakes with ABS (anti-lock braking system).

Best Time for the Nepal Motorbike Tour

A true motorcyclist will not wait around but snatch any moment to ride. If you are one such traveler, then you can choose to take our Nepal Motorbike Tour any season or any time of the year.

However, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take into account the weather conditions and follow the safety protocols. Of course, you have to, no matter how many km you have ridden with your motorcycle and how many trips you have taken.

So, for safety and the most fulfilling experience on the road, we suggest the spring, winter, and autumn months (not summer/rainy months) for our tour.

March, April, and May days will offer you the colorful landscape of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan- the true delight for the senses. Green fields and wildflowers create a visually stunning setting. The mercury also starts to rise to 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, and the day becomes longer, two important components for pleasant motorcycle rides.

September, October, and November bring the fall season with them. With the blend of the stunning scenery painted with golden and reddish tones, warm-colored autumn leaves, and pleasant weather, it becomes an ideal timeframe, bringing the balance between the ride and the tranquility.

The wintertime of December, January, and February is the festive season (particularly December and January) with holidays just around the corner. It will be the perfect window to escape on the roads of Kathmandu, Chitwan, Lumbini, and Pokhara, and avoid the chilling snow and ice of Europe or America.

However, riding in the rain from July through August can be quite inconvenient. In our Nepal Motorbike Tour, a larger portion of the travel will take place on the asphalted road.

The wet asphalt road means danger as it becomes slippery, and the tires of our bikes can slide much more and lose grip sooner than we expect.

Likewise, visibility will often be reduced due to the dark, rain-laden clouds, while the fog can form on your mirror, obstructing the view of other vehicles behind you.

So, it is best that you avoid riding in the rain, but if you do, you should wear bright (red, orange, or yellow) clothing, and your helmets, jackets, and raincoats should also be in color to make sure you can be seen.

Level of Difficulty of Nepal Motorbike Tour

Our Nepal Motorbike Tour is designed with a moderately challenging adventure with a mix of fun, enjoyment of the company, road, and landscape.

Any self-confident rider with at least a year of experience can, without any hesitation, set off on this journey. This trip is not a serious or extreme one, as there are no high mountain passes, no hilly roads, and no intense and steep climbs or inclines.

Much of the section will be on the broader asphalted Highways of Nepal, and only a few sections will be on the off-road tracks. Thus, this route can be overcome by any rider. But with off-road experience, you will enjoy the ride and the dizzying mountain views, and not sweat at the end of the column.

So, if you have previously only ridden on asphalt on a motorcycle, then you should take out a few off-road riding lessons from an experienced instructor.

You can rest assured that if something does not work out, our guides will help you cope with difficult places or offer an alternative route. If you suddenly can’t get to the finish line on your own, no one will leave you in the middle of the road.

Our escort vehicle will transport not only tools and things but also exhausted motorcyclists. We have also tried to keep the size of the group small so everyone in the group can be managed carefully and has a friendly atmosphere, which is always much appreciated by our bikers.

How to get ready for the Nepal Motorbike Tour?

Our Nepal Royal Enfield tour is a trip that you must experience to have a special bond with nature. However, riding a motorcycle doesn’t mean just getting on and going on the road.

You should have the right physical preparation to avoid wear and tear and also damage to your body. Since you will be in a sitting position that is not that comfortable for a long time, you have to work on your central body parts.

It is important that you focus on strengthening the abdominal and lumbar muscles with exercises such as the plank, which will help you maintain stability for hours on the bike.

In addition, before getting on your ride, you must always warm up with a few stretches and joint mobility exercises. You should also not forget about maintaining the correct posture throughout the ride, so focus on working on the hip area with a knee-to-chest stretch, leg raises, and butterfly stretch.

During the many travels on the motorbike, you may feel pain in your neck and joints, too. So, to prevent neck pain, you can do neck rotations, side bends, and neck extensions, while for the prevention of knee pain, you can practice step-ups, leg curls, squats, and walking.

It is also advisable that before the tour, you practice driving in a rut, on sand and gravel, climbs, descents, and fording.

You should also understand that we will be traveling together with other motorcyclists, so it is better that you adjust to others’ pace. It’s also necessary to have a spirit of adaptation and avoid excesses and pranks, so you can all have fun.

Safety Tips to Follow during the Nepal Motorbike Tour

Undoubtedly, the feeling of freedom we feel on the motorcycle trip is incomparable. However, all the fun can be ruined if we do not check our steed before setting out on each day’s ride. We always have to make sure that any component of the machine will not give up on us during the journey.

So, please follow the tips below for motorcycle traveling in Nepal:

•  Check yourself or let your mechanic examine the maintenance of the motorcycle point by point, and make sure that everything is in perfect condition
•  Check the battery power level, and also check the tire pressure and wear
•  Check the engine oil and replace what has been lost
•  Examine the color of the brake fluid and coolant. The coolant should have a blue or green tint and the brake fluid should be clear rather than brown.
•  Check the lights, air filter, chain, and battery
•  Use a full-face helmet that is in excellent condition
•  Wear comfortable and padded clothing that protects you from the sun, wind, and possible falls, breathable underwear, back and kidney belts, gloves, and sunglasses
•  Avoid the temptation to eat something that may be too heavy
•  Begin hydration before starting the motorcycle trip
•  Don’t forget that it is always necessary to stop for a few minutes every two hours or 200 kilometers so that the body can relax

Transportation Service during the Nepal Motorbike Tour

During our Nepal Motorbike Tour, we will provide you with classic Royal Enfield 350 cc bikes for your adventure. However, you can also transport your own machine if it is suitable for our trip.

If you choose to ride your own bike, then please brief us about its model and make so we can ensure that the necessary equipment, appropriate accessories, spare parts, and technical support are available in Nepal.

However, we do suggest you use the bikes we provide because they will be more profitable. As the cost of the bike is already a part of our package cost, it will be more convenient from a logistical point of view.

Driving your own equipment or sending it by a transport company is very expensive. If our motorcycle breaks down in the middle of the track and cannot be repaired quickly, you will be given a spare one. It will follow the group in the escort car throughout the entire trip.

On the evening of your very first day in Kathmandu, we will show you your motorcycles. In front of you, our mechanic will inspect the bike thoroughly, and then you will take the test ride in the narrow streets of Kathmandu. Then, the next morning, you will hit the stunning roads to Chitwan.

We have also taken care of your airport transfers from TIA in 4×4 private vehicles, depending on the number of arrivals.

Accommodation and Dining

As part of our service in our Nepal Motorbike Tour, we have included everything (accommodation, transportation, transfers, park permits, etc) except for the international air tickets and some food and drink costs.

Your overnight accommodations in every destination we have planned for you on this trip will be in charming three-star hotels. The double room we have organized for you will include two cozy beds, some lovely furniture, and, of course, a private bathroom with complimentary WiFi and a hot shower.

Breakfast will be provided at each destination, while full board meals will be available only in Chitwan. It is because some people like to eat meat or drink alcohol, while some prefer only vegetarian cuisine with red wine. Therefore, you have to pay for the food additionally.

In all the cities you explore, variations of flavorful options will be available to you. But when in Chitwan, you must try some Tharu specialties such as Ghonghi (tasty spicy snail dish), Bhakka (rice flour cake), Dhikri (steamed rice cake), Pakuwa (wild boar meat), Jhingiya Machhari (Shrimp), and Parewako Sikar (pigeon meat).

Travel Insurance

As mentioned earlier, you never know what the road will throw at you during your motorcycle trip. Therefore, you must take out good, reliable insurance that will shield you from any unexpected and complicated events.

Considering the days and places you will engage in our Nepal Motorbike Tour, we suggest you take out the full insurance that will save you from incurring any extra cost related to bike damage or any other third party (such as by bystander, wildlife, livestock, or a pedestrian) by your fault or negligence.

With this coverage in your insurance policy, even if the damage occurs to the bike or to anyone, you do not have to bear any responsibility at all.

Additionally, you should also be fully covered in case of early return due to hospitalization or the death of a family member. Do not forget to include medical assistance as well, which will help you in case of any required medical attention due to accidents.

Please also include the coverage that will facilitate your medical rescue and repatriation in case of any illness. It will not harm anyone if you also include some added protection for lost or stolen luggage, trip, or flight cancellation as well.
