This Royal Enfield circuit links Chitwan, Lumbini, and Pokhara on mixed highway and dirt, with lodge nights and a support vehicle for luggage. You ride jungle-edge roads, the birthplace of Buddha, and the lakeside finish. Chitwan jungle-edge roads, Lumbini’s groves, and a Pokhara lakeside finish are this Enfield loop.
Helmets, layers, and a gravel brief come before the first long day. The crew handles fuel, punctures, and the highway return to Kathmandu. Wildlife-park hours and a monastery morning sit between the highway sectors.
Client funds sit against a security deposit at the Ministry of Tourism, and we run this Enfield 350 week with a support truck so luggage and tools follow you from Kathmandu to Sauraha. You'll spend a full Chitwan park day on the canoe, jeep safari, jungle walk, and Tharu dance before the ride to Lumbini and the Maya Devi precinct.
Our Kathmandu office books the Lumbini and Pokhara hotel nights, then times the Tansen lunch stop on the way to the lakeside. Your guide briefs highway etiquette on the evening test ride so the Terai and Prithvi days stay focused on the bike.
Namaste to all our participants of the Royal Enfield motorcycle tour in Nepal. We will meet you at the Kathmandu International Airport and drive you to the best accommodation we have arranged for you. Once all our daring seekers have arrived, our guide will meet you all and hold a briefing where he will tell you all the necessary information about the trip.
Then, we will check our saddle and equipment and tune up the engines to roam around the chaotic Kathmandu street so you will get the taste of what awaits you ahead in the journey. The goal is to get used to left-hand traffic, motorcycles, and Nepali roads.
Today is the first day of full-fledged motorbike travel on our Nepal Royal Enfield tour. With our motorbikes, a local guide, and a support vehicle, we will set off on a real adventure which begins as we try to exit Kathmandu through the crowded streets of Kalanki and Thankot. A Prithvi Highway through the green hill of the Rishuli Valley will take us further with the stunningly gorgeous views of Hiunchuli, Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna.
Then the route running through the forest and farm area will lead us to Mugling. Now a bit of dirt road toward the south along the few winding serpentines will take us further toward the Terai flatland of Chitwan.
The third day of our Royal Enfield biking tour in Nepal will be a rest day for our bikes. Our mechanic will have time for maintenance and repairs if something breaks down in the previous days of the motorcycle tour.
However, we will have a very busy day with full of adventure for we have exciting activities lined up throughout the entire day in the park. One of the safest, most popular, and fastest ways to explore this park is via the Jeep Safari.
With two options available, either a 4-hour safari or a full-day safari from morning to dusk, you can choose any. A driver and a professional guide will accompany you and stop at the site with most common sightings of the wildlife.
After a nourishing breakfast, we will get ready with our gear and drive along the straight Terai road overcoming the two beautiful yet very hot towns of Bharatpur and Butwal. Although the road is pretty straight and light for our Royal Enfields but there can be many puddles on the route so you have to pay specific attention.
Soon, we will be admiring the calming surroundings of the Siddharthanagar making our way slowly to the born town of Buddha, the Lumbini.
Today, we will have to drive about 214 km to reach the mountain town of Pokhara. It will not be that difficult but as always it will be eventful, beautiful, and diverse as we transition from the hot Terai zone to the cool mountain shade of the Himalayas. Here we go again, tuning up our Royal Enfields, we will first ride across the lush Terai towns of Bhairahawa and Butwal, and then running along the dirt hilly road, we will venture into the midlands of the Mahabharat range.
On the way, we can see the clear heads of the glowing peaks of Gaurishankar and Dhaulagiri. Tansen is here, framed by the 1600 m tall Srinagar Danda and Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhare, Ganesh, Himchuli, Annapurna, Langtang, Nilgiri, and Manaslu.
On the final day of our Royal Enfield motorbike tour in Nepal, we will return to the starting point of our motorcycle route, Kathmandu. But before that, we will enjoy one of the most mornings of our lives.
The high Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Ganesh, Fishtail, and Manaslu mountains themselves greet us in the early morning light. Soon enough, we will load our support tricks with our belongings then roaring the engines, we will travel across the Prithvi Highway to Kathmandu.
En route, we will have a beautiful encounter with the small towns of Dumre and then Bandipur. A brief stop here is definitely worth it, as the town travels us back to the serene days of the medieval era when the air was free of dreadful sounds of the honking horns.
After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, get ready and pack your things.
Soon our private transport will take you back to the TIA of Kathmandu so you can travel back to your home.
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.
Spring from March to May and autumn from September to November usually bring the clearest views and stable walking conditions on this route. Winter is quieter but colder at altitude, while monsoon months bring cloud and wet trails at lower elevations.
Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level.
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.

Pickup can be arranged from Tribhuvan International Airport or your hotel in Thamel when you share flight times ahead of travel. The pre-trek briefing is usually held at the hotel before the Lukla flight or helicopter sector.
Allow buffer days after the trek in case mountain flights move. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal.
Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks.
Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves.
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. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather.
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. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move.
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.
