Detailed Itinerary
Your adventure begins early in the morning from Kathmandu. After a short trip briefing and motorcycle inspection, we leave the Kathmandu Valley and ride toward Bhaktapur and Dhulikhel.
From Dhulikhel, the ride continues along the scenic mountain highway toward Mude. The landscape gradually changes from busy urban surroundings to peaceful hills, forests and traditional mountain settlements.
Beyond Mude, we continue toward Charikot, enjoying winding roads and beautiful views along the route. After a short rest in Charikot, we leave the main highway and begin the climb toward Kuri Village, the gateway to Kalinchowk.
The road becomes increasingly adventurous, with gravel, rocky sections, uneven surfaces and steep mountain bends. The changing terrain provides an exciting riding experience as we gain elevation.
Arrive at Kuri Village in the afternoon and check into a local mountain lodge. Depending on road and weather conditions, we may continue toward the Kalinchowk area.
Spend the evening relaxing in the peaceful mountain surroundings. On clear days, the surrounding hills and Himalayan peaks provide an impressive backdrop.
