What to take with you?

BOOTS – firm and waterproof for road tours; high and with good protection – for enduro tours. TROUSERS – for most road tours, firm jeans are an excellent choice. For enduro tours, the enduro or MX trousers are optimal. It is nice to have a raincoat in your backpack, just in case. THERMAL UNDERWEAR is necessary if you choose the tour to Upper Mustang or your tour runs from December to March. In other cases, there is no such need. JACKET is required! Jackets with built-in textile protection are preferred, as they ‘breathe’ better and are more comfortable in different temperature conditions. If we have winter trip, grab a warm lining to the jacket, it is enough in the daytime. Light down jacket is perfect for evenings. HELMET is a must for everyone! It does not matter which model you have – open, closed or MX – take it! Definitely, a closed helmet gives better protection, including one against dust and wind. SMALL BACKPACK – for your money, ID, camera, bottle of water, raincoat, and all sorts of small stuff. GLOVES – textile gloves with built-in protection are perfectly suited for all the routes. The leather ones can be useful in the winter months and on the tour to Upper Mustang. LUGGAGE goes with the group in an escort offroader. Try to pack your luggage compactly! The offroader does not always ride on our heels, so it is better to have all necessary things in your small backpack. SUNGLASSES AND SUNCREAM are very important. In the high mountains, the sun burns skin and eyes mercilessly! To find decent glasses and cream in Nepal is a problematic issue, so be sure to bring them with you. Good lenses save your eyes, and UV protection cream is a best friend of your skin. FIRST AID BOX – Each participant must bring a personal first aid kit. We have a complete medical rescue set, but it is not a mobile first aid kit. It may not contain medicines you need.

If you damage the motorcycle.

If the motorcycle has been broken not due to your fault, we are responsible for repairing it. In case of damages caused by rider’s mistake, he or she has to cover the costs.

Wi-fi

WI-FI is available everywhere, except for the route to Upper Mustang. In some remote areas, it can be so slow that it’s better to assume it simply does not exist. Be ready to spend evening or two back from civilization enjoying the real-life communication.

In case of the accident

Accidents are extremely rare on local roads, primarily because of the low speed in traffic. If something happens, we have a first aid box. If the situation is more serious, we know all the nearest hospitals on the route and in the cities; and in case of severe damages, we call the rescue helicopter. In this case, you should have an insurance covering such costs.

Roads And Traffic

Breathtaking mountain serpentines are what awaits you. There are almost no straight roads in Nepal, except in the southern part of the country. Turn after turn, hour after hour and so all the day. 200km per day is an impressive distance. By the end of the day, you’ll negotiate the corner as on the GP track. On the roads, bikes predominate, and then buses, minibuses, and taxis go. Traffic is chaotic and at first sight seems insane. The night before we go on a tour, we will tell you all the basic rules and traffic details in Nepal. You will be fully armed and ready to join this ‘wild’ traffic safely.

Weather

All the routes are prepared with due consideration of the weather. We offer you the optimal time for the tours, but a raincoat does no harm!

Driver's License

When we ride in a group, the police usually gives us free rein and conducts a license check only in rare cases. However, there may be surprises. Don’t worry, your usual driver’s license are good enough.

Is Altitude sickness an Issue?

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. On both our Into Thin Air tour and Upper Mustang tour, we ride up to 4000m and 5000m accordingly. We must therefore be careful of the risks. 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. It is also important to keep hydrated when at altitude and drink up to 5L of water per day. The symptoms of AMS are dizziness, nausea, headaches, and disrupted sleep. Vomiting is an indication of advanced AMS and requires immediate action which involves moving to a lower altitude.
