We set out on our Upper Mustang bike tour by motorcycle from Kathmandu, the nation’s capital. Through the Prithvi Highway, the journey is 200 kilometers for the entire day. The ride will be even more enjoyable once you leave the city and begin to take in the greenery and picturesque landscapes along with the highways’ sideways glimpses of the Trishuli River.

We’ll eat lunch and refuel our bikes around noon, after which we’ll ride toward Pokhara. Pokhara (822 m) is one of the most popular vacation spots in the country. After arriving in Pokhara we will check in to a hotel and proceed for a lakeside sightseeing tour with drinks and live music while taking in the area’s natural beauty and taking quiet sightseeing in the adjacent lakeside Fewa.

On this third day of your upper mustang bike tour, you will start experiencing an off-road journey, starting from Beni. 

After an early breakfast, you will ride on the Baglung Highway to – BeniBazzar (70 KM), on a pitched road. This section of the ride provides spectacular views of Annapurna, Fishtail, and Dhaulagiri. After Beni, you will start riding off-road. In addition, the majority of the trip is through stunning terraced farmlands, and you will get the opportunity to stroll over Nepal’s highest and most famous suspension bridges. After BeniBazzar, your course is unpaved, graveled, and bumpy, posing a significant challenge to riders. In some areas, you will get a thrilling experience of river crossings as well.

After breakfast today, we’re prepared for another day of exciting upper Mustang bike tours to the stunning Tsarang Village, 45 kilometers away from the starting location. Tsarang Village is located at 3588m, which really is pretty fantastic because we are currently riding at 3588m. You will encounter completely off-road/dirt road riding situations throughout the journey, some of which are difficult. The landscape along the Kali Gandaki River banks is breathtaking. Kali is Sanskrit for “Black,” and the river’s water is also that color.

From Geling, we will travel by the enchanted Upper Mustang Valley for about 4 hours. Tsarang is a typical village that still has the appearance of a medieval city. We’ll also see more than 2,000-year-old monasteries and other historic sites there.

The trail first drops to Tsarang Chu Canyon and then climbs sharply. Additionally, the trail slowly ascends to the windy pass of Lo, providing an opportunity to take in the wonderful view of the walled city of Lo-Manthang from the high pass.
