Nepal motorcycle tours

At MotoAsia, we offer an adventure Nepal motorcycle tour “one way” from Thailand to Nepal.

Chiang Mai, Thailand - Everest Base Camp, Tibet - Kathmandu, Nepal - 18 days - from USD$ 9,995 (All inclusive) + motorcycle air freight back to Thailand.


It could be called a Tibet motorcycle tour in a way, because the motorcycle tour spends considerable time in Tibet.

Mount Everest Base Camp & Tibet motorcycle adventure tour

This amazing Nepal motorcycle tour will take you to Mount Everest Base Camp and then onto Kathmandu, Nepal where the motorcycles can be flown back to Bangkok, Thailand. If you are on your own motorcycle you can continue westwards. This is a good way to transit/cross Tibet by motorcycle and lower your costs by joining one of our Tibet motorcycling tours.

Up until very recently this area was out of bounds to most people. It's still a very sensitive area and we are now privileged to be allowed to visit, especially on motorcycles.

After leaving Thailand, we will spend one day in Laos, then 5 days of riding north through Yunnan, China towards the Tibet border. From the Tibet border we ride westwards towards the beautiful ancient Buddhist city of Lhasa "the city of wonders" for a rest day.

After Lhasa we head westwards in Tibet towards the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. From Everest, we then head in Nepal to the capital Kathmandu, where the motorcycles will be air freighted back to Thailand.

This tour will also be of interest to those that need to transit Tibet into Nepal on an extended tour, our Nepal motorcycle tour is an excellent way of spreading the transit cost of riding a motorcycle through Tibet.
