This motorcycle road trip in Nepal…

This motorcycle road trip in Nepal will remain a memorable experience, with its highlights and a few small points to improve. On the less enjoyable side, the coach journeys between Kathmandu and Pokhara, both ways, felt long and somewhat out of step with the spirit of the trip; we would almost have dreamed of doing them on the motorcycles. The bikes themselves felt as though they had already seen a lot of life: a little short on pick-up, they lacked power, and 450s would no doubt have been more fun. Finally, slightly longer stages would have let us enjoy the riding and the landscapes even more. But these few reservations are more than made up for by everything that made this trip unique. The route was magnificent, the country fascinating, and above all the support made all the difference. Johann, with his kindness and attention to detail, created a warm atmosphere: his little touches like the square of chocolate or the cakes at the end of meals for something sweet, not to mention the coffee he made every morning with his percolator. He really did everything he could to show us authentic places and share his knowledge of the area. All in all, a rich, eye-opening and very rewarding trip on a human level.

Thank you Nicolas for your very thorough feedback! Nepal is one of those destinations where everything takes on another dimension: the landscapes, the altitude, the encounters... and also the logistics, which are inevitably more complex in some regions. The transfers between Kathmandu and Pokhara are among those realities on the ground that we are constantly trying to improve, without always being able to avoid them. Your comments on the motorcycles and the pace are valuable: they echo points we keep adjusting to better adapt the equipment and comfort to the specific terrain of Nepal, especially on such demanding stages. Above all, we are delighted that the essentials were there: a strong route, a fascinating country and Johann's support, whose attention to the group and little everyday touches are part of what makes the experience of a motorcycle trip in Nepal. Thank you for your balanced and constructive view. We look forward to seeing you on a future motorcycle adventure.

I have come back from Upper Mustang in Nepal with stars in my eyes and a head full of memories: particularly kind weather even at altitude, breathtaking landscapes, exceptional local people and top-notch organization. What more can I say, except that this trip is engraved in my memory forever. One of our team even had the Nepalese flag tattooed on his shoulder.

Upper Mustang: Adventure in the Forbidden Kingdom
It was a good trip and well organised in a place where not many go. We saw things you would never see anywhere else. It was tough and I would suggest you stress that it’s an advanced ability trip. Accomodation can be challenging but it is part of why we do it.
