Easy Everest Motorcycle Tour

Free day for arrivals

Usually flights are overnight so you should allow an extra day for the journey to Kathmandu. Once you arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport we will pick you up directly from the airport transfer you to your 5* hotel. There will be the opportunity for exploration of the ancient city in your own time this day depending on your time of arrival.

Today there’ll be a lazy morning to recover from any jet lag and hang around the hotel or get out for a wander in the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. Around midday we’ll get going and begin venturing outside Kathmandu towards Nagarkot on the valley rim, where fantastic views of the mountains lay ahead. You’ll be able to relax with a swim at Club Himalaya which resides on the hilltop, being the best location for views of the valley and the Himalayas.

Just tarmac roads today, with 10% being broken sections. Still definitely thankful for our off-road* bikes when we hit these parts! We’ll wind our way downhill through forested roads and come out by the Sun Kosi River (River of Gold). It’s a beautiful road alongside the river with the wide river valley meandering through the 2000m+ hills. The sun will be on our backs as we travel the busy road filled with colourful and pimped up trucksand buses.

A bit more of a challenging ride today as we increase our altitude and head to our Everest viewpoint destination. The Sun Kosi stretches out beneath us as we wind our way up the hillsides into the Solukhumbu region. Many switchbacks lay ahead and some river crossings too. It’s a wild and beautiful  journey that will take your breath away. You will arrive in time for the sunset view from your hotel of over thirty-nine peaks of the Himalaya, including Everest.

Today you are free to choose what you would prefer to do, whether that is hiking, trying out some dirt tracks of the 3000m+ hills or biking to a secluded and very important Buddhist monastery. Tonight we stay in the larger mountain town of Phaplu, an alternative start point for climbers of Mt. Everest.

Today we leave the peaks behind us as we travel back down on the high altitude roads with dramatic looking drops around us. The temperature slowly rises as we descend back down to the valley floor. We’ll stop for lunch at a roadside restaurant where the familiar and freshly cooked dhal bhat tarkari (lentil soup, rice and vegetables) will fuel us on our way. Only small villages are scattered along this road, we’ll stay in the small town of Mulkhot at a basic hotel tonight.

A short ride today to the town of Dhulikhel situated on top of a ridge renowned for its beautiful mountain views, and often frequented by tourists wanting to catch a glimpse of the majestic Himalayas. Dhulikhel is not far from Kathmandu, originally a small Newari town, now developed to a larger, dustier and slightly chaotic highway town.

Today we ride on dirt tracks around the Kathmandu valley for a 4-5 hours exploring the lush green hillsides and the countless trails, before landing up at our hillside hideaway at the edge of a fresh pine forest with views of the whole of Kathmandu valley.

Back to Kathmandu today for sightseeing and souvenir hunting. We’ll take you out to the UNESCO world heritage sight of Kathmandu Durbar Square, walk through the old market, sample some local delicacies and take a rickshaw ride through the bustling lanes of Thamel. Rest of the day is at your leisure.

Time to say farewell to Nepal and your guides. We will drop you back to the international airport in time for your onward flight.
