Upper Mustang Motorbike Tour: 14 Days Itinerary, Map, Cost

Upper Mustang is a remote and isolated region located in the north-central part of Nepal bordering Tibet. It is renowned for its unique culture, spectacular landscapes, and rich history, making it an exciting destination for adventure-seekers and motorcycle enthusiasts.

The Upper Mustang motorbike tour is a thrilling experience that combines the adrenaline rush of off-road riding with the chance to explore the beautiful and culturally rich landscape of the region. The tour typically starts from Pokhara and takes riders through the winding roads and rugged terrain of the Himalayan foothills before entering the high-altitude deserts of Upper Mustang.

The highlight of the tour is the visit to the ancient city of Lo Manthang, the former capital of the Kingdom of Mustang. The city is surrounded by walls and gates and is home to several medieval temples and palaces, providing a glimpse into the rich history of the region.

As riders journey through Upper Mustang, they will be greeted by the friendly local people and the breathtaking beauty of the region. The area is dotted with charming villages, rolling hills, and towering mountains, making it a photographer's paradise. The arid landscape is also home to several unique species of wildlife and plants, providing an opportunity for nature enthusiasts to get up close and personal with the local flora and fauna.

The road conditions in Upper Mustang can be challenging, but the reward is the spectacular scenery and the thrill of the ride. The tour typically takes 14 days to complete, and riders will have the opportunity to stay in local lodges and guesthouses, giving them a chance to experience the local culture and hospitality.
