Ruby Valley (Ganesh Himal) riding uses rough roads north of Dhading toward Tipling, Shertung, and viewpoint ridges. The hills are green, the tracks narrow, and Ganesh Himal appears on clear afternoons. Tipling, Shertung, and Ganesh Himal from a narrow hill track are Ruby Valley’s selling points.
Village lodges and a support jeep define the six days. You return to Kathmandu via the Trisuli corridor. Gatlang and the first high villages sit after the Trisuli climb, with rhododendron on the ridge in spring.
We'll choose a guide from the Ganesh Himal hills, licensed through MOCTCA and NATHM, who knows the dirt from Syabrubesi to the Tamang village of Gatlang. You'll ride Pangsang La at 3,842 m toward Tipling and Phulkharka with Langtang National Park and TIMS paperwork already filed in Kathmandu.
Our office team books the homestay nights and shares the next day's plan so the Ganga Jamuna waterfall stop and the Dhading return stay easy to change. The evening test ride on the Himalayan 411 or CRF 250 happens in Thamel before you leave the city.
Welcome to Kathmandu, the starting destination for your Ruby Valley motorbike tour. Once you are At the airport, our team correspondent will receive you with garlands and Khada.
Then you will be transferred to your preferred hotel in the capital. Later, you will get the briefing about our Ruby Valley motorbike tour itinerary.
Then, in the evening, you will get to know your ride, the Himalayan 411 or CRF 250, at an extra cost. Choose one that is comfortable for you, then together with our guide, you will take your first test ride through the narrow and wide streets of Kathmandu, where your bikes will thrive in their favorite playground.
The Ruby Valley motorbike tour will take us on a beautiful stretch to Gatlang today. The long, winding road of the Pasang Lhamu Highway will ride us north to Trishuli Valley. The bumpy Nepali mountain road now begins as we ride through Betrawati, Dhunche, and reach Syabrubeshi.
We will take a short stop here to linger a little to watch the captivating Peaks of Ganesh, Manaslu, and Langtang. The Langtang National Park's rugged terrain will now carry us through Golijang Village before we set ourselves and our ride at Gatlang, the idyllic Tamang locality beneath the shadow of Jugal Peak.
From today on, the real fun will begin in our Ruby Valley motorbike tour. The short 30 km distance to Tipling is worth it, but the rugged terrain will be quite difficult for both our machine and us.
Inspired by the landscape, we will push ourselves from Gatlang towards Parvati Kunda, devoted to Goddess Parvati. The trail further on will have fewer and fewer houses now as we approach Yuri Kharka.
After a moment of stretching and a meal, our machine will kick off over the Khurphu Bhanjyang. Later on, our eyes will meet the deserted mining site of Somdang Village.
An amazingly beautiful and rewarding day awaits us today on our Ruby Valley motorbike tour. Today, we will have a visual feast on the two twin sister waterfalls, the holy Ganga and Jamuna. Leaving Tipling, with the silent melodious sound of our engine, we will accelerate along the wide tarmac Pasang Lhamu Highway and ride through the green lands of the charming, peaceful Tamang villages of Sertung, Jharlang, and Borang to reach Phulkharka, positioned in the beautiful Dhading district.
When we arrive at the lodge, we will take a moment to rest our machines and ourselves. After some time, we will take a walk to admire the enchanting beauty of these two twin sister waterfalls.
The end of our Ruby Valley motorbike tour 6-day trip is upon us. Leaving behind the picturesque scenery of Phulkharka, we will follow the Prithvi Highway towards Kathmandu. On our journey, we will encounter the rural settings of Taribesi, Dhading Besi, and Salyantar.
Our off-road adventure will end as we cross Dhading Besi, where the road transitions into the high paved road of the Highway. Now, we will race our machines through Jyamrung and Naubise, before we finally return to the lively atmosphere of Kathmandu.
Saying farewell to your loyal bikes and Kathmandu, you will now be transferred to TIA, depending on your flight times.
Fly into Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu unless the itinerary uses another regional hub. Airport or hotel pickup can be arranged when you share arrival details ahead of travel.
Briefings cover road or domestic travel to the trailhead. Build buffer time before onward international flights in case mountain weather shifts the schedule.
Twin or double rooms in a comfortable Kathmandu hotel cover your first nights and your return from the trail, with breakfast on those city stays when included in the package. Briefings happen at the hotel, and airport collection from Tribhuvan is available when flight times are shared in advance.
Family-run teahouses or lodges line the route with twin beds and a shared dining room. Rooms get simpler and colder as you climb, with shared bathrooms common at higher villages. Hot water, Wi-Fi, and charging are paid at the lodge when offered.
March to May rhododendron bloom and October to November crisp air are peak windows for this itinerary. July and August mean leeches and cloud on lower slopes; December to February can ice steps above village level.
Your guide reads the forecast before long cols or sunrise hikes. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints.
You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days.
Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks.

Share your Tribhuvan arrival time ahead of travel for a Thamel hotel transfer, or make your own way to the meeting hotel in the capital. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal.
Briefings cover Lukla bag weight, porter duffle limits, and what to wear on the mountain flight. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks.
Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves.
Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather.
Jeep or bus days to the remote trailhead are arranged when they are part of your package. Your guide confirms departure times at briefing.
Motion sickness medicine helps on winding mountain roads. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move.
National park or restricted-area permits apply depending on the valleys you cross. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates.
Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level.
Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar.
Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar.
