UPPER MUSTANG ITINERARY
DAY 1 - WELCOME TO POKHARA
Relax by the lake and take in the beautiful surrounds by day. Meet your riding team, your trusty steed, and tour briefing by night. Tomorrow we ride!
DAY 2 - POKHARA TO THE CLIFF
Get familiar with your bike with a ride through chaotic traffic, along winding rivers, into quaint villages and countless corners! The route is designed to give you the confidence and local knowledge needed to tackle Upper Mustang.
DAY 3 - THE CLIFF TO KAGBENI
After a hearty breakfast, we take the spiritual Kali Gandaki river north. It's an amazing route and the local villages are incredibly fun. We'll introduce you to our friends along the way and cross numerous suspension bridges enroute.
DAY 4 - KALOPANI TO KAGBENI via MUKTINATH
To get prepared for the altitude to come, today we ride up to nearly 4000m to Muktinath, before descending down to Kagbeni at 2800m for the night. It's a stunning day where you will get some of the best views of the tour.
DAY 5 - KAGBENI TO GHAMI
Today we enter the barren landscape of Upper Mustang. We pass small villages and ride towards Tibet until the mighty Himalayas are sitting proudly to our south. It's an amazing feeling to have crossed through the world's tallest peaks.
DAY 6 - GHAMI TO LO MANTHANG AND CHOSUR CAVES
Ride the surrounding villages of Lo Manthang and explore the endless hills, chasing eagles along the way. We stop in at Chosur Caves to admire the limestone formations.
DAY 7 - LO MANTHANG TO MALLAJ
Follow the trail of mythical demons and dragons riding by the blood-stained cliffs of Dhakmar, the slain dragon at Ghami and spin the wheels of Nepal's longest mani-wall before bustling south to our favourite night of the trip - Micky's Palace.
DAY 8 - MALLAJ TO POKHARA
Ever wondered what a knight felt like returning home from a victorious battle? Well maybe, just maybe, it was a little you do today. A freakin HERO! You have done it. Upper Mustang.
