About

Rode to Everest

It’s been long closed off and inaccessible in its Himalayan vastness. Tibet, the Roof Of The World, has always been a mysterious land topping the wish list of motorcyclists worldwide.

Mystical and magical, Tibet is an overload on the senses. This is a region of extremes and is one of the most adventurous, scenically stunning and exciting motorcycle adventures on the planet. It’s an enlightening experience – spiritually, culturally and emotionally. The Tibetan Buddhist people are compassionate, gentle and resilient despite their years of isolation, struggle and hardship.

We ride 2,350 kms. Alongside glittering azure coloured lakes, across vast desolate landscapes and over some of the highest snow-capped peaks in the world. There are remote high altitude deserts, awe inspiring glaciers, densely forested precipitous gorges and thousands of kilometres of unpopulated high altitude moorlands. The ride takes us through two countries. Nepal and China. And the fabled and ancient cities of Lhasa and Kathmandu.

The motorcycles we ride are the Royal Enfield Himalayans and they’re perfect for the job. They were designed for exactly this. Nothing can truly prepare you for the moment when the absolute majesty of Mount Everest suddenly appears before you. It’s truly breath-taking. Even mind-blowing.

It’s a unique moment in time that sticks with you forever as you watch the sun go down over her peak, before bedding down for the night at Everest Base Camp.

Don’t miss this opportunity and book early for this epic and once in a lifetime motorcycle adventure.
