Namaste and welcome to Kathmandu! We will pick you up at the airport and take you to a fine hotel in Kathmandu where you can witness Nepali hospitality at its finest. Kathmandu is the tourist hub of the capital that offers abundant sightseeing and shopping opportunities. The iconic Kathmandu Durbar Square is a short walk away, so you can enjoy your first night in Nepal taking strolls through Basantapur’s Freak Street and other temples and stupas in the area. The day will end with a welcome dinner with everyone at the hotel.

As we finalise our preparation for The Green Mountains, we will have a chance to explore the best of Kathmandu. We can also visit Brahmasthani Awareness Society (BAS) Nepal, an NGO that provides a patient shelter to disadvantaged patients and education to the children of such patients. This is the NGO that we also help from our profits. In the afternoon, we will also have a 'puja' - worship ceremony to wish good luck to the bikes and the riders.
The day will end with a briefing of the tour and discussions regarding what to expect along the way.

Our adventure begins! We start our ride early in the morning to avoid the busy traffic of Kathmandu. A slow drive for nearly 5 hours will take us to Daman, 2500m above sea level. Daman boasts beautiful views of the Himalayas in the distance and a hilltop experience unlike any other. The busy people from Kathmandu take time off during winter to enjoy snowfall here. We will be staying here for one night.
Day 4 and 5: Chitwan
The road to Chitwan from Daman consists of a 41km downward drive in the first phase and a 70km straight drive in the plains in the second phase. Along the way, you will have an opportunity to experience the smell of the ripe rice fields and vegetable farms in southern Nepal, commonly known as the breadbasket of Nepal. We will reach the famous Chitwan National Park by the late afternoon. Home to many endangered species, most notably the one-horned rhinoceros, the sanctuary is enlisted in UNESCO’s World Heritage Site.
On day 5, we continue to stay in Chitwan and enjoy the various activities the National Park has to offer: Jungle safari, elephant riding, boating, a cultural show of the Tharu locals, etc.. With a bit of luck, we might catch a glimpse of the Royal Bengal Tiger and the One-Horned Rhinoceros, two of the most iconic endangered species that are boasted by Nepal’s protected areas. We will spend the evening relaxing on the bank of the Rapti River and watching the charming sunset that has attracted thousands to Sauraha.
Mingle with the wildlife in the Chitwan National Park of Nepal.
Sunset beside the Rapti River.
Day 6: Lumbini

We continue our adventure as we ride the plains to the spiritual heart of Buddhism and the birthplace of Buddha - Lumbini. The sprawling premises of Lumbini consists of multiple monasteries and stupas constructed by foreign governments in the honour of the founder of Buddhism, widely regarded as one of the most peaceful of all religions. The hymns of monks in the area chanting prayers throughout the day only add to the ambience of Lumbini. We will also have the opportunity to witness the Bodhi Tree, Mayadevi Temple, and Ashoka Pillar which are ancient remnants of the history of the region.
Day 7: Tansen

From Lumbini, we embark on an 85km ride through the western hills of Nepal to Tansen - an ancient hill town. A short ride further north will take us to "Batase Danda" which translates to "windy hill". We will stay atop a mountain here for a night. You will be awestruck when you witness the combination of both snow-capped mountains towards the north and plains of the Terai towards the south from the same hill.
Day 8 and 9: Pokhara
Next on our list is Pokhara: the ultimate tourist destination in Nepal. A 129km ride will take us to the city of lakes by late afternoon. You can enjoy a peaceful walk along the lakeside in the evening.
On day 9, we will go to the sunrise point at Sarangkot hill early in the morning. This sunrise attracts hundreds of visitors who simply run out of words to describe the first rays of the Sun that give the nearby mountains a golden look from the typical white.
Pokhara is a city of beautiful lakes, caves, and adventure sports such as paragliding and zip lines. We will make the most out of our two-night stay in Pokhara and stay overnight in an excellent hotel in the city.

A short drive of 80 km takes us to Bandipur. As per Lonely Planet, Bandipur is a living museum of Newari culture, a beautifully preserved village with traditional row houses, which have now been reborn as cafes and lodges. This place was an important stop on the India–Tibet trade route for centuries until 1960s. Its attractive 18th-century architecture, pedestrian zone and outdoor dining, gives a distinctly European feel.
Day 11, 12 and 13: Kathmandu
Today's driving will take us back to Kathmandu, where we began our Nepali adventure. After reaching the capital in the afternoon, we will hand over our bikes and reflect upon the days of The Green Mountains tour in the Goodbye dinner. We enjoy the evening! We deserve it!
Day 12 is a well deserved day off. Soothe your fatigued body at a massage spa or take a stroll around the local area. This is your last day in Kathmandu so make the most of it. Try momo, have a beer at a local pub, or buy some souvenirs!
On day 13, our adventure comes to an end and we shall drop you off at the airport. As you sit down on your flight home, you will cherish the memories you’ve made in Nepal. And with the hope of meeting someday in the future, we bid farewell!
