The bumpy rides make for an adventure-filled trip to far-western Nepal, all the way to the isolated lands of Mugu and Jumla. As you get higher and the terrain gets tougher, every revolution of the throttle is rewarded by breathtaking sceneries, pushing you to get further. The motorcycle tour navigates the Thakuri villages to take on the pristine locales around Rara.

Kathmandu Rara Motorcycle Tour Overview
The journey begins from the capital city Kathmandu, where you hop on your bike for a long first day. You leave the capital, snaking down the Prithvi highway with the Trishuli River keeping you company. You will descend from the hills into the flatter regions of the low hills and Terai as you make your way to Butwal. After spending a night in Butwal, you will head towards Surkhet. The roads go through dense jungles and calmer roads.
You will head to Sinja valley for the day from Surkhet, and notice that the ride gets really tough. On the road to Sinja, you can see the roaring Karnali River and green settlements. From here, the road leads us to Rara Lake. Surrounded by green hills and snow-capped mountains in the background, the lake sits inside the Rara National Park.
The national park preserves the flora, fauna, and the environs around the lake premise. After exploring around the national park, you prepare to head back to Kathmandu. On the way back, you take the route down to Khalanga bazaar, getting back to Surkhet on the next day. After the long journey, you will traverse back along the East-West Highway, reaching Chitwan. From Chitwan, the road takes us back to Kathmandu where the Rara Motorcycle tour shall end.
