Introduction of Upper Mustang Bike Tour
The Upper Mustang Bike Tour is a long-awaited journey by many bike enthusiasts, especially off-road bikers who seek thrilling adventures. One of the best things about this tour is the remoteness and the ruggedness of the trails. To be honest, it is not an easy road to ride a motorbike, but that is what makes it a special adventure.
The Upper Mustang region is one of the most secluded and protected regions of Nepal, perhaps the most conserved, since the tradition and values there have not changed over time.
In a world where global culture is taking shape, Upper Mustang remains one of the few regions that still follow the centuries-old norms and practices. You will not see rock bands or pop artists’ posters there as you would in other Himalayan regions of Nepal.
The Upper Mustang region was a Kingdom of its own in the past, which explains the high walls covering the town of Lo Manthang. It became a part of Nepal in the year 1882 after the unification efforts of Prithvi Narayan Shah became a hit. However, it was not until 1992 that it became open to outsiders. This should clarify the exclusiveness of the region.
The culture and tradition in the region closely match those in Tibet, specifically the Tibetan Buddhism teachings. Once a thriving trade route between India and Tibet, this region is now a great site of cultural preservation.
In addition to that, there are hundreds of man-made caves in the region that date back to at least a couple of hundred years. These caves are a great place to explore, and the paintings on the wall are ancient as well.
There’s so much that goes into making a bike tour successful, and going to the Upper Mustang region is a challenge on its own. Here’s everything that you need to know about the Upper Mustang Bike Tour; read till the end to know it all.
Trip Highlights
- A relaxing bike ride to the amazing highlands of Mustang with your friends.
- Exploring Lo Manthang, the ancient Kingdom of Lo, and experiencing their centuries-old culture.
- Visiting the five-story-tall cave of Chhoser, which has over 40 rooms connected via a network of ladders.
- Visit the sacred site of liberation, Muktinath, where devotees flock to seek salvation.
- Take a hot and relaxing bath in Tatopani’s natural hot spring water.
- Visit the tourist capital of Pokhara for a scenic evening.
Detail Itinerary of Upper Mustang Bike Tour
Day 01: Arrival at Kathmandu Airport
The very first day of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour is when you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. It’s a scenic flight as you fly over the hilly region of Nepal, showcasing the high Himalayas in the north.
The Annapurna Himalayan Range, Mt. Manaslu, Langtang, a couple of Everest region peaks, and more can be seen from your flight to Nepal. As you arrive at the airport, you will be guided towards the immigration desk where an officer will hand you your visa after you fulfill all the requirements.
In order to obtain your tourist visa to Nepal, you must have a valid passport (minimum 6 months of validity), proof of residence, proof of return tickets, two passport-sized photos, and a visa fee bank receipt.
You can fill out your visa application at the immigration booth and pay your visa fees at a counter nearby. Make sure that you fill in your legal details correctly.
After you present everything to the immigration officer, you will be granted a tourist visa. Only then are you allowed to leave the airport premises, out of the terminal. Our representative will be on the lookout as you leave the terminal. He will welcome you and take you to your accommodation. Before the night falls, we will have a short meeting to introduce ourselves to each other.
Max. Altitude: 1,350m/4,429ft. Kathmandu
Accommodation: Hotel
Day 02: Full-Day Kathmandu Sightseeing & Trip Preparation
Day 2 of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour consists of a sightseeing tour around the Kathmandu Valley and trip preparation in the late evening hours. For our sightseeing tour, we will visit a number of historic sites. You are free to choose which sites to visit, or you can just stick to our standard itinerary.
One of the best places to get to know the history of Kathmandu and the royal family of Nepal is Narayanhiti Palace Museum. Prior to being a royal palace, it was an administrative building that housed Prime Ministers and military personnel.
Following the Kot massacre, this building was handed to Colonel Ranodip Kunwar, who is responsible for turning it into a luxurious palace for the high social profiles.
20 years later, the then-Prime Minister Bir Shumsher Rana took the lead in building a new royal palace for King Prithivi Narayan Shah. This new royal residence was the Naryanhiti Palace. Prior to that, the royal residence was the Hanuman Dhoka Durbar, which is also a great site to visit.
Later, in the year 1963, King Mahendra ordered the demolition of the Narayanhiti Palace and hired Benjamin Polk, a Western architect, to build an entirely new building that is a fusion of modern and traditional Nepalese architecture. That is the building we will see at present, not the original royal palace.
Moving on, we will visit sites like Krishna Mandir, Pottery Square, Changu Narayan Temple, Patan Museum, and more. All of these sites are anything but boring, you will have a great time visiting all these different sites, taking a ton of pics, and making memorable visits.
Note: Some of the sightseeing sites require tickets, which are not covered by our Upper Mustang Bike Tour package.

Meal: Breakfast
Accommodation: Hotel
Day 03: Ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara (800 m) | Distance: 210 km Time: 7-8 hours
We will begin the Upper Mustang Bike Tour with a filling breakfast and soon hit the road to Pokhara. We will first get to Naubise, which is about 26 km from the city center, to join the Prithvi Highway, which connects Pokhara and Naubise. It was made back in 1974 with financial support from the government of China, and as of now, it still stands. However, there are many potholes and the turns are endless. Even though it’s a highway, it is no less than an off-road experience.
Leaving our hotel, we ride a traffic-filled city road and up the Naubise hill, winding through the switchbacks to get to Naubise. There, we will stop for a minute or two, letting everyone catch up and hit the highway. Crossing 4 districts, Kathmandu, Dhading, Chitwan, and Tanahun, we will reach Kaski, where the city of Pokhara lies.
Along the way, places like Mugling, Anbukhaireni, Malekhu, Kurintar, and more will be our stops for refreshments and nature calls. We will have our lunch at one of the stops along the way. There are a couple of major towns on the way that are mostly crowded and traffic-prone; stay patient at such times, since rushing is only going to make it worse.
The Prithvi Highway follows the curves of the Trishuli River, while the scenes of hills and settlements accompany us throughout. As we get closer to Pokhara, we will be able to see peaks like Dhaulagiri and Annapurna IV from the highway. As you enter the city, the ride gets smoother, and beautiful views become apparent.
The ride leader will take you to your accommodation for the night, and after that, you are free to roam the vibrant shores of Fewa Lake or take a relaxing meal by the lake. Whatever you do, make sure to get plenty of rest since we have an Upper Mustang Bike Tour to complete.
Activity: Ride 7-8 hours
Max. Altitude: 800m/2,625ft. Pokhara
Meal: Breakfast
Accommodation: Hotel
Day 04: Ride from Pokhara to Kalopani (2530 m) | Distance: 125 km Time: 5-6 hours
On the 2nd day of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour, we will be traveling through a lot of off-road sections to get to Kalopani, a remote town sitting at 2530 meters above sea level. It can get a bit chilly there, so make sure you have your jacket on while riding; getting a cold can be really annoying while on a bike trip. It’s about 125 km from Pokhara to Kalopani, and on the way, we will stop by places like Baglung, Beni, Hemja, and more.
Starting the ride, we pack our bags, tie them on the bike, and leave the peaceful shores of Lakeside to get to Hemja. We will first move west to get to Zero km, and then move north to get to Hemja, passing the temple of Bindabasini on the way. As soon as you move north, an amazing view of the Annapurna Himalayas will cover your entire front.
From Hemja, we will first reach Nayapul, the entryway to the Annapurna region trekking destinations, then Kusma, where we will take a break. Keeping up with the Upper Mustang Bike Tour, we will reach Baglung, Beni, and Tatopani, where we will stop for lunch. After about an hour, we will reach Kalopani via Lete.
We will have plenty of daylight hours to explore the surroundings of the town. This town is located on the foothills of the Annapurna Himalayan range, which means the views are beyond incredible. The town is a fusion of Thakali and Tibetan culture, so you will get a lot of dinner and lunch options.
Activity: Ride 5-6 hours
Max. Altitude: 2,530m/8,301ft. Kalopani
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Guest House
Day 05: Ride from Kalopani to Samar (3650 m) | Distance: 65 km Time: 4-5 hours
Today’s ride is shorter than day 4, but it still takes about 5 hours to complete the 65-km ride, all thanks to the below-average road condition. As we leave the town of Kalopani, the path leads us through a lush woodland with fresh air. While some sections of the road are smoothly paved, most of the sections are rugged gravel roads.
Progressing north, we will get to Ghasa village from where the trail slims down along the banks of the Kali Gandaki River. The rocky banks of the river are not an ideal track to ride a bike, but this is what you signed up for: biking rugged trails up in the Himalayas. Continuing the ride, we will shortly reach Lete after descending a little.
The off-road experience can be challenging to some, but one thing is sure: by the end of the day, every rider will be tired. It sounds like an easy thing to do, but your hands have to control the handles of the bike all day long; this is exhausting.
The weather conditions in the Himalayas can not be predicted as accurately as in plain lands and hills. You can expect it to rain or get cloudy in an instant, there is no warning system to let you know about it.
From Ghunsa, the trail is completely off-road, which leads us to Marpha, a scenic town in the Mustang region of Nepal. It is a great place to stop by, relax, and take in the views. We will also have our lunch there before moving on to Samar. This town is well-facilitated, and you can stock up on your supplies if you wish to. There’s also an apple farm where you can taste the juicy apples that are locally grown.
After lunch, we will get on the road to Jomsom, the capital of the Mustang region. This town sits at 2700 meters above sea level, and is infamous for its swift afternoon winds that blow dry sands along the roadway. The best thing about reaching Marpha and Jomsom is the great road condition. It’s as smooth as the city roads with a few bumps here and there.
From Jomsom, we will get on the road to Kagbeni, after filling up our bikes at a local petrol station. The road is now very plain, but it can get sandy at times. In contrast to Jomsom, Kagbeni is a remote village that offers a peek into the traditional lives of the people of the Himalayas.
Leaving Kagbeni, we will go up to the Upper Mustang region and slowly traverse the pebbly-filled road with a couple of streams on the way.
Our next stop will be the village of Chele, where the vegetation changes drastically, leaving little to no bushes and grass patches. We will then ride up to the Taklam La Pass, sitting at an elevation of 3624 meters above sea level. The view from the pass is simply amazing, we will stop there to take in the scenes of the Mustang region before heading towards Samar village.
Activity: Ride 4-5 hours
Max. Altitude: 3,650m/11,975ft. Samar
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Guest House
Day 06: Ride from Samar to Lo Manthang (3860 m) | Distance: 63 km Time: 5-6 hours
Covering a total of 63 km in 6 hours, today’s Upper Mustang Bike Tour day will be quite a challenge as we have to ride over rugged and tricky trails to get to our destination of the day.
The initial section of the ride requires us to climb a tricky ascent. This part of the ride demands good handling and a powerful bike, which is not an issue if you are traveling with us. The road continues to be narrow and sharply ascending, going along the slopes of a mountain.
Our first stop of the day will be at the village of Ghami, where the longest Mani wall of the Mustang region lies. The road leading to this village is full of streams and rugged trails that require a great deal of focus. With centuries-old central monastery and traditional red clay houses, this village is as aesthetic as it gets. We will take a couple of photos and be on our way to Lo Manthang.
Our next stop is Nyi La Pass, which reaches a total elevation of 4010 meters above sea level, the highest point of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour. The climb up to the pass is not easy at all; the loose rocks and the sharp ascent make it unstable. But we will make our way through to get to the summit of the pass for a panoramic view of the entire Mustang region.
Getting down from the high mountain pass, we will first get to the village of Tsarang, also known as Charang. This village sits at an elevation of 3560 meters above sea level and houses a centuries-old fortress and a monastery that houses traditional artifacts and paintings. The ride to Tsarang is a smooth one, and the scenes as you descend are great as well.
From the village of Tsarang, our destination is only about 20 km away. It’s a smooth ascent that takes us through a barren landscape which is surprisingly aesthetic to look at. As we get close to Lo Manthang, the walls of the town come into view. Lo Manthang sits at 3860 meters above sea level, and the traditional mud houses make it a scene so dry yet so beautiful.
Activity: Ride 5-6 hours
Max. Altitude: 3,860m/12,664ft. Lo Manthang
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Guest House
Day 07: Explore Lo Manthang – Visit Chhoser Cave and Monastery
Day 7 of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour is an exploration day; we will not have to ride our bikes for hours. However, we will ride them to get to nearby attractions such as the Chhoser Cave. It’s about 11 km of distance and the road is not that bad.
Heading north from Lo Manthang, the road is narrow for the first kilometer or so. We will pass Chodey, Jampa, and Thubchen monasteries to get out of the town and into a dirt trail, which is the way to Chhoser cave. Riding windy paths and dry roads, we will pass many chortens along the way, with scenes of the valley showing up at the midpoint of the ride.
Before long, we will make it to Chhoser village where the cave lies. We will park our bikes and hike a little to get to the entrance of the cave. It is reported to be 3000 years old, there are over 40 rooms inside the cave, and it’s a multi-layered cave.
Ancient monks were believed to be the residents of this cave as they meditated in complete silence. The walls of the cave have paintings of Tibetan gods, which solidifies the theory of ancient monks living in the cave.
Right next to the cave are the Niphu and Garphu monasteries, sitting on the top of ridges along the mountain. We will also visit those Gompas once we are done with the cave.
Activity: Rest
Max. Altitude: 3,860m/12,664ft. Lo Manthang
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Guest House
Day 08: Ride from Lo Manthang to Muktinath (3,710 m) | Distance: 105 km Time: 6-7 hours
Today is the longest riding day of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour. We will ride down to Muktinath all the way up from Lo Manthang, covering over a hundred kilometers in the process. This ride will last upwards of 7 hours.
The initial segment of today’s ride offers views of the Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri peaks as we descend to the village of Ghami. From there, the rugged road begins with interspersed streams and loose rocks.
From Ghami village, the trail takes us back to the Nyi La Pass, our highest point of the journey. We will get down from the pass and reach the village of Samar (3660 meters) and subsequently Kagbeni, passing Chhusang village.
We will stop at Kagbeni for our lunch and get on our bikes to reach Muktinath in about 30 minutes. The distance between the two is only 12 km.
Activity: Ride 6-7 hours
Max. Altitude: 3,710m/12,172ft. Muktinath
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Guest House
Day 09: Ride from Muktinath to Tatopani (1,200 m) | Distance: 70 km Time: 4-5 hours
After an early morning visit to the temple of Muktinath, we will have our breakfast and begin the ride to Tatopani with the blessing of the gods. Day 9 of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour is going to be relaxing as we get to bathe in the warm natural spring water of Tatopani. The name literally translates to Hot Water.
As we leave the dry land of the Mustang region, we begin to see a lot of green all around us. Moving south of Muktinath, the road gets better and better with every kilometer we cover. As we get close to Tatopani, the vegetation drastically changes; there are trees around us, bushes, and grasslands, which were not a possibility in the highlands.
After a long day of riding bikes, getting into the warm water of the spring is just heavenly. The relaxation that you get when your muscles feel the warm water is out of this world. In total, we will cover 70 km of distance in 5 hours.
Activity: Ride 4-5 hours
Max. Altitude: 1,200m/3,937ft. Tatopani
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Guest House
Day 10: Ride from Tatopani to Pokhara (800 m) | Distance: 105 km Time: 4-5 hours
Going downhill along the Kali Gandaki River, we will start day 10 of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour after breakfast. The calming scenes of the green terrace farmlands and the Himalayas in the north keep us company as we make our way to Pokhara. After about 30 km of riding, we will reach Beni, which leaves us with 75 km to Pokhara.
It’s pretty much plain from Beni to Pokhara with views of the Annapurna Himalayan Range and rivers in the north. It should take about 3 hours to reach Pokhara from Beni. This is the end of our highland tour.
Activity: Ride 4-5 hours
Max. Altitude: 800m/2,625ft. Pokhara

Detail Information about Upper Mustang Bike Tour
How does our trip start?
Our Upper Mustang Bike Tour starts with a sightseeing tour in Kathmandu, followed by a ride to Pokhara from Kathmandu. The ride is full of scenes of hilly farmlands and settlements along the Trishuli River. It’s a great scene, but also a long ride along the Prithvi Highway that spans 200 km.
Best seasons
Riding on bikes is different from trekking and is a more viable option in extreme weather since we can cover more distance, leaving the area of bad weather. However, it is not completely safe from weather and climate conditions. That is why the best seasons for the Upper Mustang Bike Tour remain spring, autumn, and summer.
You can ride bikes in winter without any major issues other than your biggest enemy, icy patches on the road. It is impossible to control your bike on thin ice over the road, you just have to go with the flow, where nature takes you. You are also more prone to falling off the bike, and tires slide over ice; brakes do not work to stop you from crashing.
Can a beginner join this trip?
If you are someone who has recently learned to ride motorbikes, our Upper Mustang Bike Tour is not the journey you should take. It is a challenging tour with several technical sections that require years of experience to be able to pull off. You can not just pass through the sections with the help of other pro riders because this will slow down the whole group.
Altitude Sickness
The maximum altitude you will get to during the Upper Mustang Bike Tour is 4010 meters above sea level, which is barely a significant height for altitude sickness to cause major issues. In addition to that, we will only be spending about 20 minutes at that height, which is not enough for altitude sickness to kick in; it usually strikes people when they are asleep in high elevation.
Accommodation, Food and Drink
Accommodation throughout the Upper Mustang Bike Tour will be managed and arranged by us. You do not have to pay extra for them unless you want an upgrade. The standard accommodation is 3-star hotels in Pokhara and Kathmandu, and standard lodges during the days in the hills. You can expect services like WiFi and laundry at each of the accommodations we arrange for you.
For the entirety of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour, we will provide you with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, except for your stay in Pokhara and Kathmandu. Traditional regional dishes, including Tsampa, Thukpa, Yak Meat Curry, Gundruk, Thakali meal, Dhindo, Dal Bhat, Buckwheat Pancakes, Chhurpi Soup, etc., are available throughout the stay in the Mustang region.
Modern food like apple pie, pizza, burger, sandwiches, various cheese dishes, veggie wraps, etc., is also available at most of the stops we make. Meanwhile, Tibetan Butter Tea and Hot Chocolate are the popular choices when it comes to drinks.
Apple brandy is also a popular drink, but it’s alcoholic and not a good idea to get drunk while you are on an Upper Mustang Bike Tour. It dehydrates your body, and the hangover does not let you enjoy the ride fully.
Transportation
The bikes used for the trip are rental bikes that are in top-notch condition. You can test drive the bikes before taking them to the highlands of Mustang. The Upper Mustang Bike Tour package covers the rental fee.
Permit
An Upper Mustang Permit and an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) will be needed to complete the Upper Mustang Bike Tour. Both of these permits will be taken care of by our tour package.
Trip preparation and fitness
We do not expect you to be in top physical form, but you should at least be somewhat physically active since it helps you to handle the long, taxing ride. Also, if you are over 200 lbs, you might have issues navigating the rugged and narrow terrain of the Mustang highlands. Train yourself physically for a couple of weeks before you arrive in Nepal for this tour.

Cost & Budget
Our Upper Mustang Bike Tour is priced at USD _________; this package will cover all your accommodation expenses, 3 meals per day (except in Kathmandu and Pokhara), daily wage of the lead rider, his travel insurance fee, bike rental fee, permit fee, and more.
The Upper Mustang Area permit itself costs $500, considering this and all the other expenses we cover, the price of our tour package is justifiable.
Gadgets charging & Internet
Electricity and WiFi are available throughout the Upper Mustang Bike Tour; however, power outages might prevent you from charging your devices at times. They last a maximum of an hour or longer if there is any issue with the wires.
Things to Remember Before Doing the Upper Mustang Bike Tour
- You must have a valid license; without a license, we will not be able to provide you with bikes.
- Since bike rides can be a little adventurous, we highly recommend travel insurance and medical insurance before you hit the road.
- We will provide you with a full tank of petrol at the beginning of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour; from there on out, you must fill the tank on your own. We do not provide you with petrol or cash to fill it up.
- Check the rental bike for any potential flaws or damages so that you do not run into issues during the tour.
- Make sure that you return the bikes as they were; any damages discovered upon returning the bikes will be added to your bill.
- Do not forget to wear your safety gear, as it will save you a lot of bruises if you somehow fall from the bike.
Add-Ons
Upgrade Your Accommodation
Kathmandu and Pokhara are the only major cities that you will visit during the Upper Mustang Bike Tour. Both of these cities offer a great deal of accommodation, especially high-end luxury stays. Our standard stay will be in 3-star hotels, which are upgradeable to 4-star or 5-star hotels within the city.
But based on the location of the upgrade, you might miss some action, so choose wisely. For instance, if you choose to stay further from the Lakeside area, you will miss the lively night and the relaxing morning by the lake.
4-star and 5-star hotels are not available throughout the Upper Mustang Bike Tour; some towns are barely able to provide the bare minimum services, with some additional modern facilities like WiFi. Expecting them to have 4-star or above hotels is a wasted thought. However, if there are luxury establishments better than the standard ones, we will gladly arrange the stay for you.
Your cost of the Upper Mustang Bike Tour package will be adjusted with the increased expense of upgraded accommodation.
Sightseeing Tour in Pokhara
Pokhara is often said to be the most beautiful city in all of Nepal, and that is undoubtedly true. With views of the great white Annapurna Himalayan range, high, lush hills, serene lake water, and rivers, this city has it all.
If you are into extreme sports, Pokhara has you covered as well. Bungee jumping, canyoning, paragliding, rafting, zip lining, ultralight flights, mountain biking, and more are viable options you can try in Pokhara.
