Kathmandu Lhasa 15 days high altitude Motorcycle Adventure via Everest Base Camp is a distinct overland adventure tour that takes you to the world’s highest and biggest plateau known as “The Tibetan Plateau” which ranges from 13,000 to 15000 feet above sea level and enclosed by great himalayan ranges that bears Mount Everest (8848.86 M) and K2 (8611 M) and also other peaks higher than 20,000 feet. It is a dream come true to see the one and only world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest from its base camp at an altitude of 5300 metres. This tour is designed for travellers who are adventurous, seeking unforgettable experience and want to explore the natural paradise of Tibet on motorbikes by crossing many world’s highest driveable passes. A ride on the roof of the world is an exceptionally different experience than other rides in your life. The mighty Everest, at 8,848 metres (29,029 feet), stood taller than the Shishapangma, the Makalu, the Lhotse, and the Cho Oyu that flanked it—all of them standing over 8,000 metres high. The road down the pass is splendid with its 108 hairpin bends and mesmerising views to capture the tour’s throughput. This trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the majority. Be one of the few among those who have ridden to the roof of the world, Mt. Everest, so far!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
The choice of bike depends upon the tour type. Some of the package requires certain type of bike only for safety and ease. If the tour is mostly short and near the valley we might allow you to choose the ride. But most of the time, we stick with the package type.
The accommodation plan is usually defined in the package details. Near the valley we will provide you 3 star hotels, but outside the valley deep in moutain or hilly regions due to lack of such accomodation we accomodate you into local lodges and tea houses.
