Running nowNepal Himalayas
Kathmandu, the Kali Gandaki gorge and Upper Mustang. Trans-Himalayan desert and Tibetan culture, ridden in spring and autumn.

Kathmandu to the old kingdom of Lo, up the deepest gorge on earth and out into trans-Himalayan desert. Nepal packs more change of scene into a week than most countries manage in a month.
Nepal climbs from subtropical valleys to the highest peaks on the planet in less than 150 kilometres. A motorcycle trip to Nepal means terraced farmland and pine forest, a river gorge with 8,000 metre peaks on both sides, and then bare ochre country behind the main range that looks nothing like the rest of the country.
Our Nepal motorcycle tours run from Kathmandu to Pokhara, up the Kali Gandaki into Mustang and on to the walled city of Lo Manthang, then back through Muktinath and the middle hills. It is the same range we have worked from Manali since 2014, read from the other side of the border, and the restricted area permits are part of the plan from the start.

One route that takes in the capital, the Kali Gandaki gorge and the walled city of Lo Manthang.
People who know which side of the valley the afternoon wind comes down, because they ride it.
Itineraries with time in Kathmandu and Pokhara first, so the climb into Mustang is not a shock.
Expedition leader, mechanic travelling with the group, backup vehicle and permits handled.
Small groups. We would rather run one good departure than three crowded ones.

Pick a departure from the calendar, or tell us the dates you have and we will build the route around them.
The Upper Mustang Motorcycle Tour: 11 days from Kathmandu on a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
The route rides to Pokhara, follows the Kali Gandaki to Kalopani and Ghami, reaches Lo Manthang, takes the side trip towards Luri Monastery, then returns through Muktinath, Kusma and the hilltop town of Bandipur. Unlike most motorbike tours in Nepal, it goes past Lower Mustang and into the restricted north.
Yes, and Upper Mustang needs more than the usual ones.
Depending on the route, expect to need:
We arrange the permits, but the restricted area one takes time and needs your passport and visa details well before departure. Leave it late and the route has to change.
Spring and autumn are the main windows, and Mustang stretches them.
December to February is cold and several passes get snow. The calendar shows the dates we run, and we will say honestly whether other dates work.
A valid motorcycle licence from your home country plus an International Driving Permit, obtained before you travel.
Bring the physical documents. Checkpoints on the Mustang road do ask.

Had a fantastic 15-day Ladakh tour which was extended down to Dharmashala, the extra days were a great addition. Going into this with no prior experience of Off Horizon or my fellow adventurers I can only say that it exceeded all my expectations. Bikes were great, lodging and food was as good as could be expected in the locations we visited, and the team was tirelessly friendly and helpful, with a genuine passion for sharing their country and culture.
I have just completed the 11 day Ladakh tour with Offhorizon Adventures. Right from the initial contact the team there were extremely helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them to help with, from flight advise from Ireland, transportation, extra accommodation and even possible medical issues like altitude sickness that might arise. If I thought they were good at this stage ? I was blown away by their level of professionalism and hospitality during my trip. Everyone on the Off Horizon Team made this a trip of a lifetime for me. The bikes were well maintained and in excellent condition, any little tweaks, personal preferences or changes to their set were undertaken to suit all riders. Once on the road and starting our adventure, you always felt safe, their advise and attention to detail made the trip truly unforgettable. My exsperience of off road was “0” but with their help, I got through it and enjoyed every minute. We travelled through some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable with every day bringing something new. The accomadation throughout was just perfect with a mix of first class hotels to small family units in the more isolated locations- considering the Irish pallet and diet the food was great and again the team explained every offering. I’m not going to single out any particular Off Horizon team member because each one of them gave 100% of their professionalism, time, hospitality and kindness to every one on this trip- they limit their numbers, which is great because you get that extra attention and help- I could write pages on what I saw and did during the trip but this is something you are going to have to exsperience yourself. Huge thank you to all the other guys on the trip too and a pleasure to meet you all- I would have no hesitation in recommending Off Horizon if you are planning this trip- thank you so much for a truly fantastic adventure 🇮🇪🇮🇳
Very well organised tour with expert riders, support and backup vehicle. The Offhorizon team new all the routes. Very committed team who took very good care of all of us riding team members, with personal attention. The team left no stone unturned to ensure our entire ride across 2150 kms was exciting, very safe without a single incident. Well paced rides with key halts, refueling stops, zero breakdowns and planned to perfection. I wish this team great succes in the future.
Don't watch or think just pick the phone and book your tour this will be the best place you can have. .. Best Guides, Best Service, Best Bikes.
Great experience! Caring and skilled team, quality bikes, engaging itinerary, good selection of accommodations, endless supply of food and drinks, cultural experiences and a dedicated video/photographer to capture all that. Highly recommended. PS: Surya created an extended 15 day Ladakh and Himachal tour (the original was 11 days) in response to our request. It turned out be much more enjoyable.
Huge thanks to the entire Offhorizon Adventures team for the amazing organization of our tour! We rode an incredible route from Manali through the Zanskar Valley and Kargil all the way to Leh—it was the adventure of a lifetime. I’d like to specifically highlight the team's professional approach: * Bikes and support: The motorcycles were in excellent mechanical condition, fully prepped for high-altitude riding and off-road terrain. You feel safe throughout the entire journey. * Route and logistics: Everything was well-planned, from the initial briefing to stops, accommodation, and meals. The guides know the area perfectly, maintain a comfortable riding pace, and allow time to soak in the fantastic Himalayan views. * Atmosphere: The team is incredibly warm, responsive, and open. They are ready to help, offer advice, and handle any logistical issue at a moment's notice. If you are planning a high-altitude motorcycle tour in Ladakh or Zanskar, I definitely recommend Offhorizon Adventures.
To everyone who has ridden with us: thank you. Your stories are the reason we keep planning the next one.
