Motorcycle / Bicycle Tour In Nepal |
 |
|
| |
Not so long ago the idea of
riding on a motorcycle across Nepal would have seemed an extremely
masochistic endeavor given the conditions of the roads in this
country back then. It was a form of travel not considered to be an
option by very many travelers and there was doubtless wisdom in that
decision then. Things have however changed in the recent past.
With the reconstruction of the east-west highway along the southern
belt of the country, the main highway running across Nepal has
become something of a biker's dream - and a motorcycle adventurer's
delight. There are literally hundreds of miles of roads narrowing
and winding through flatland or hills respectively, and they offer
the motorcycle enthusiast endless miles of delightful riding through
a still mostly pristine, Nepal.
This is especially true in the case of the western half of this
highway comprising of the section between Chitwan National Park and
the far-western border of Nepal. The highway in this region cuts
across unspoiled regions of the Terai and also goes through the
Bardia National Park, a Park that contains as much, if not more,
wildlife spotting possibilities than Chitwan. The east west highway
running from Kakaribhitta in the East to Mahendranagar in the West
also allows for riders to head north and ride to places like Pokhara
and Kathmandu, the surrounding regions of which are connected by
good motorable roads. These areas include places like Tansen, Daman
and the areas surrounding Kathmandu, which make for great short
rides or en-route halts. All in all, the roads through many of the
most beautiful regions of Nepal are ideally suited for motorcycle
tours, assuming the service provider can provide reliable support
services.
The possibilities thus for both long and short rides within Nepal -
as well as rides into Tibet or India - exist and require further
development. Riders from India often come into Nepal through Delhi
or from places like Manali with either Mahendranager, or Bhairawa,
being the access points. These are however more often individual
riders than organized groups. In terms of rides to and from Tibet,
the current access route would be the Tatopani/Khasa border to the
North, a mere 4 hours ride from Kathmandu. This route however has
not seen much development due to the difficulties of getting vehicle
clearance for the region.
It is also possible to do sightseeing tours by motor cycle. You can
visit many of the mountain view points by the motor cycle |
