Private Motorbike Day Tour in Kathmandu

If you are a motorbike enthusiast then Nepal is the dreamland for you. Nepal is the country where there are more motorcycles then any other vehicles.

Motorbikes are the easiest and quickest ways to explore Kathmandu. Numbers of motorbikes are increasing day by day.

Most of the motorcycles here are Indian motorcycles and ranging from 100cc to 500cc. Motorbikes above 500cc are rare and easy to get good attention.

You can either hire a motorbike or ship your own motorbike for tour.

Once you have your motorbike, you have a lot of option to travel. One can enjoy a short and easy ride around Kathmandu Valley or make a ride to Himalayas. From Kathmandu you can continue your ride up to Himalayas of Tibet or plain of India.

 You can ride yourself along with your crew or get a guide. We recommend, it is better to get guide because the guide will have a lot of riding experience and skilled with the mechanic technique. Even KTM city can be complicated for new people because narrow busy roads, lot of one way, no parking, shortcut, traffic rules, etc. Your small amount guide can make your riding a safe, comfortable and more exciting.

 Ride safe! Happy Riding!
