He has set up Vintage Rides and has now expanded its presence in thirteen countries. An explorer by heart, he's always looking to discover new adventures around the world.
It is a concept that we created in 2018 in Rajasthan with our first Royal Enfield road trip reserved exclusively for women. After the incredible success of the inaugural event, we hosted a second Girls Ride in 2019 to introduce an entirely new group of adventurous women to the backroads of Thailand. This year the Girls Ride is back, offering you the same incomparable mix of fun, discovery and sisterhood in a brand new destination. Pack your bags and prepare to follow in the footsteps of Alexandra David-Néel, bask in the beauty of the highest peaks in the world in the Annapurna region, and immerse yourself in Nepalese culture with a focus on growth, camaraderie and authenticity... This incredible journey includes 11 days of travel, 7 days on the motorbike, taking the country's beautiful back roads through villages and rice terraces, with the stunning Himalayan mountains as a backdrop.
Welcome to Kathmandu! You are met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in Patan. Enjoy a bit of free time before touring Nepal on a motorbike!
First day of your Motorcycle trip to Nepal, we venture South West of Kathmandu and immediately begin to appreciate the beauty of rural Nepal. The landscapes change from one valley to the next, the winding road crosses traditional villages and terraced crops as it carries us the Terai region.
Today will be spent immersed in nature and surrounded by wildlife. On the program is a safari to discover the one-horned rhinoceros, monkeys, crocodiles. With a little luck we may find ourselves face to face with a leopard, a bear, or maybe even an unforgettable encounter with a royal Bengal tiger.
We leave the jungle behind and follow mountain roads in the direction of Tansen to the North-West. Our Royal Enfields relish their favorite playground as we find a whole new world to explore!
This lovely stage will deliver us to Pokhara, dancing along a beautiful stretch of road which follows a verdant valley along the Aadhi Khola River. We arrive near Lake Phewa in the afternoon and enjou some free time. Nothing epitomizes Pokhara's splendid natural scenery better than the majestic Phewa Tal, the country's second largest lake.
We have a short stopover today, which allows us more time to linger in this beautiful region at the foot of the Annapurnas. Today is all about enjoying the most captivating viewpoints. We follow a sparsely traveled ridge road west of Pokhara, a hidden gem which offers you the very best photo opportunities with the Great Himalayas as a backdrop.
A very nice day's drive takes us slowly towards Kathmandu. We treat ourselves to a break on the shores of Lake Begnas, an oasis of calm and beauty. We continue to descend in altitude to finally follow the Trishuli River, which drops precipitously from the Tibetan plateau.
We continue making our way towards Kathmandu but gaining altitude for our last night, north of the capital. We continue to appreciate these ephemeral visions and organic encounters surrounded by rice fields and forests.
We are back on the road for our final day of motorcycling. The road is narrow and beautiful, carrying us over an impressive mountain pass and across Shivapuri National Park before returning to the capital for lunch time. It's time to say goodbye to our mounts.
Free time in Kathmandu. You will have the opportunity to visit the stupa of Bodnath or the religious site of Pashupatinath. A walk in the small streets will present the region's extraordinary cultural and artistic heritage, its hidden temples adorned with garlands of carnations, the courtyards where peppers and rice dry, and its tiny workshops.
Transfer to the airport according to your flight schedules.
