Is this tour for you?
This trip to Nepal is a unique experience. It is important to understand that you are in a country with fewer infrastructures, and you will be riding along far away areas with even less infrastructure. The first nights, you will stay in nice hotels, but as you leave the main areas, lodges and accommodations are more basic, still you will always stay in the "best" places they can find. You will always have a bed in a room shared with 1 other tourmate (unless you choose single room accomodation). Food will be good but there will not be a wide range of menus: lunch will usually be Dal Bhat: rice with a little meat, vegetables and a lentil soup.
It is also important to understand some offroad experience is required since you will spend many days riding on non-tarmac and gravel roads, even though some riders had come with no experience or little at the time, they still did the whole trip! The circumstances in this type of regions change from one day to the next, so be prepared for things to happen. But they have specialist mechanics at Royal Enfields to solve any problems. All this makes this tour a true essence of an adventure full of surprises, a team work so that you all overcome this spectacular challenge.
