FAQ

To reserve your place on a tour, send us an initial message with the dates of the tour you would like to join. We will then confirm availability and answer any questions you may have. We will then ask for a $500 deposit to book your seat. The remaining amount must be paid in cash when you meet us at the tour start location. For more information on our booking and refund policies, please see our Terms and Conditions.

All our tours include Royal Enfield Classic 350cc in Nepal and Royal Enfield Scram 411cc in India, petrol, twin room accommodation, meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), permits, guides, mechanic, support vehicle with driver (if there are 5 or more participants in the group).

Prices do not include international flights, entry visas fee, travel insurance (required), gratuities, laundry, alcohol, drinks/snacks outside meal times and personal expenses.

All foreigners require a tourist visa to enter Nepal. This can be obtain at the Nepalese Embassy in your country, upon arrival at Kathmandu airport or when filling out the on-line form.

A 15-day tourist visa costs US$30 at the airport, paid in cash. Most major currencies are accepted. The process usually takes around 30 minutes.

You also need to have at least 6 months left in your passport to enter Nepal. If you are short even one day, you will be refused entry at the airport, so please check this!

The boots are durable and reliable and waterproof. And if you’re going off-road touring, we recommend MX boots.

Trousers – motorcycle jeans with knee and hip protection for classic motorcycle riding. MX pants are the most comfortable for enduro riding.

Basic clothing is thermal underwear if you are taking a tour of Upper or Lower Mustang in October, November, December. The rest of the time, Nepal has comfortable weather. Average daytime temperature +25

Jacket – We recommend protective textile options as they breathe better and can be zipped (or undone) for comfort in different temperatures. If you’re traveling during the winter months (December to February), be sure to take a winter liner.

Helmet – We recommend bringing your own helmet. The choice of helmet type is yours. The main condition is that you should be comfortable wearing the helmet for a long time.

Gloves – In our opinion, textile gloves for travel are the best, but each participant has their own preferences, the main thing is that you are comfortable in them.

Luggage – on all tours (more than 5 participants) we come with a jeep to transport your luggage. However, there is not much space in the car, so we provide each participant with a standard 70 liter waterproof bag. On the road, we recommend taking a small backpack with you for your camera, money, sunscreen, raincoat and a bottle of water. If you have a tank bag, it is also very convenient for small items and will save you from having to carry a backpack.

Sunscreen and sunglasses are very important. At altitude, the sun is hot and can burn your skin. We recommend SPF 30+

First aid kit – each participant must take his own personal first aid kit. The kit should include your personal medications, compression bandage, paracetamol, ibuprofen, antiseptic cream, alcohol swabs and Imodium.

Travel insurance is mandatory and we will ask for the details of your policy before riding. Travel insurance, much like any other type of insurance, covers an agreed-upon set of circumstances as set forth in the insurance contract. It is never a bad idea to protect a carefully-planned trip with coverage for delays, illness, lost luggage, and even natural disasters—the best travel insurance can soften the impact of unforeseen events.

Please also ensure that your policy is effective for emergency evacuation (helicopter evacuation) in case – it is required.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can affect anybody when at an altitude of 2500m or more. It does not depend on whether you are fit or have been at high altitudes before. Anyone is succeptible and we take the risks seriously when on tour.

We have staged our tours to minimise the possibility of AMS and have not experienced any serious issues to date. We carry Diamox with us but we recommend bringing your own supply. Diamox is a preventative medication rather than a treatment and must be taken several days before riding into altitude.
