Namaste Riders Nepal:
Women-only Motorcycle Tour

Today is considered Day 0, as you’ll be boarding your flight from your hometown the evening before, planning to arrive in Nepal the following day.

You’ll be picked up at Kathmandu airport and transferred to your accommodation.

Today is all about settling in and getting to know your fellow adventurers over a welcome dinner. We’ll also hold our first briefing about Nepal and the journey ahead.

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll meet your bikes for the first time – the beautiful Royal Enfield Classics. Once they’re packed and ready, the tour kicks off!

We’ll take winding roads up into the hills and reach an altitude of 1,985 meters above sea level. On a clear day, Nagarkot offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas – including your first chance to spot Mount Everest!

Today is all about what you feel like doing. After breakfast, you can choose to take it easy, join us for a ride through the Tibetan border region, or explore the royal city of Bhaktapur.

Bhaktapur, the “City of Devotees,” is one of Nepal’s cultural highlights, featuring the UNESCO-listed Durbar Square and the impressive Nyatapola Temple.

Afterwards, we’ll return to Nagarkot for the night.

Today we climb high – up to 2,500 meters above sea level, along one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Plenty of curves await us, and the stunning landscape is our reward.

Tonight’s accommodation is something special: cozy cottages with a lovely terrace and incredibly welcoming hosts.

Today promises a real ride! We’ll go even higher than the day before – reaching 2,600 meters – before descending dramatically into the Chitwan jungle, dropping down to just 200 meters above sea level.

This ride is nothing short of spectacular!

After breakfast, it’s time for a break – and maybe a little adventure of a different kind. Check out the “Optional Activities” section for ideas.

You might go on a jeep safari, take a jungle walk, or try a dugout canoe safari. Or maybe just chill by the pool and soak it all in.

Chitwan National Park is home to Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, and elephants.

Today the group decides: Are we up for an outdoor night under the stars?

If yes, it’s sleeping bag time, all tucked in together under one big tarp. A true outdoor experience, often turning into a legendary night of laughter and bonding.

If not, we stay in Chitwan at the resort and enjoy more downtime – with the option to take the bikes for a spin through the jungle!

After breakfast, we continue our ride, getting closer to the Indian border (about 40 km away). Our route takes us through jungle roads to Butwal, a lively trade town rarely visited by international travellers. Get ready to be the highlight of the day!

Today we visit Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. The peaceful Lumbini Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, awaits with its monasteries and serene atmosphere.

We enter subtropical terrain and ride the famous Siddhartha Highway through Palpa in southern Nepal – once part of the ancient Silk Road.

The Siddhartha Highway (NH47), or Siddhartha Rajmarg in Nepali, is full of curves and connects the Terai lowlands with the hill regions of Nepal.

We’ll arrive in Pokhara (600 m) for the night – proud of what we’ve conquered on the way.

Time to breathe! Today is a rest day in beautiful Pokhara. Again, check the “Optional Activities” section for ideas.

You could try an ultralight flight, paragliding, kayaking, or join a day trip to the Begnas Valley.

We head toward Bandipur (1,358 m), a peaceful hilltop town with rich Newari culture.

The ride takes us through forests and countless bends before we reach this nearly car-free town. It’s calm, beautiful, and offers stunning views of the Himalayas.

Our journey nears its end. We follow the Trishuli Nadi River back toward Kathmandu, riding through local villages. It is a perfect way to round off the tour.

If conditions allow, we’ll cruise through Kakani, a favourite spot known for its panoramic views. We’ll also pass through the lush Shivapuri National Park.

One last day to explore Nepal’s capital at your own pace: visit markets, temples, or simply get lost in the vibrant buzz of Kathmandu.

After breakfast, we head to the airport – time to say goodbye (for now).

If you have extra time, consider booking a scenic flight over Mount Everest!

Most return flights land the next day – so welcome back home on Day 16, full of memories and stories that will last a lifetime.
