The Upper Mustang Motorbike Tour provides motorbikers with an excellent opportunity to explore the scenic countryside of Nepal and witness the breathtaking landscapes of the Upper Mustang region. This tour is designed for motorbikers who dream of turning every challenge into an adventure. Driving in Nepal is not straightforward, and the geographical structure and weather add to the challenges on the road. Nepal Excursion's motorbike tour to Mustang is planned through the scenic routes, and you will witness the natural beauty along the drive to Upper Mustang.
We recommend this tour for experienced motorbikers. The Upper Mustang Motorbike Tour begins in Kathmandu and follows the Prithvi Highway. During the ride, you'll enjoy stunning views of the Himalayas and picturesque landmarks of the countryside. Passing through small local villages by the Trishuli River promises to be an exciting adventure. However, driving on the Prithvi Highway presents significant challenges, as local drivers tend to drive very fast, requiring you to be both experienced and cautious. The main risks of this trip occur during the drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and up to Marfa, particularly as you approach Marfa from Beni, where you must navigate through landslide-prone areas.
