Essence of Nepal
This ride is designed to experience the best of Nepal on 2 wheels, while enjoying the peaceful Nepalese, their kindness and incredible hospitality.

This motorcycle expedition is a leisurely culture trip as we take time to visit the historical sites including the famous temples of Patan, Bhaktapur and Boudhanath.
