View Route & Departures →Within less than 150 kilometers horizontally, Nepal rises from 60 meters above sea level to the 8,848-meter summit of Mount Everest. Riders journey from subtropical pine valleys to the rain-shadow of Upper Mustang and the Kali Gandaki Gorge—the deepest canyon gorge on Earth, flanked by Annapurna I (8,091m) and Dhaulagiri (8,167m).
Our guided expeditions conquer the 15th-century fortified kingdom of Lo Manthang, sacred Muktinath (3,800m), and the Annapurna circuits with small group departures, experienced road captains and knowledgeable local guides, Showa-equipped Himalayan 450s, and 4x4 chase vehicle mechanic support.
