As the name signifies this trip of Upper Mustang Motorcycle trip is more than just passing the distance and seeing the place with mountains! It is the adventure in discovering, cultural explore, enjoy the breathtaking views, meeting the welcoming people and so much more. Any cycling riders come here to be a witness of live-show of the semi nomadic herders and folks of yaks in the high pastures, ponies and pack animals help in day to day households, the blushing cheeked locals toil the arid soil to earn a living.  Here the Tibetan culture is almost untouched by the civilization and of course this route has some of the finest monasteries with hugely rich of ancient art and paintings and so you are assured by a simply unforgettable journey. For Alpine Exodus, this is our one of the most favorite trips in which there is everything that we can bring into your services and you will be an entirely satisfied person until return home.

Day in Kathmandu | Hotel

We complete the permit process before the noon. So while we are working on that, there is time for you to make a leisurely start to the day and a stroll down to Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Ride to Pokhara | Hotel

Have your breakfast and get ready to begin your adventure. We drive for 30 min and leave the valley from Thankot or Nagdhunga- the southern exit point. Right after Nagdhunga, it starts the hill side of Nepal where the highway bends like a snake, but not that long. Sometime this section gets notoriously busy by big trucks and public buses, but we will be OK with the motorcycles! Ride for about 45min and we reach to the valley floor where we will have better riding. On the way we can break for washrooms or have tea/coffee or even for fuel. Mungling is about 3-4hrs ride from Nagdhunga. Pokhara about 3 hrs from here with very pleasant ride!
