The Nepal to Tibet Motorcycle Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime cross-border Himalayan expedition operated by Into Wild Himalaya Expeditions, connecting Kathmandu (Nepal) to Lhasa (Tibet, China). This guided tour takes riders through the world’s highest roads, combining adventure, culture, and spiritual discovery across the Himalayas.

Participants ride Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 cc / 450 cc motorcycles, specially prepared for altitude and endurance.
