Truly epic adventure biking in the Manang region of Nepal. The roads are mostly gravel or dirt tracks with loads of fun to be had riding here, the roads are spectacular; carved into the hillsides with rushing rivers in the valley below. All the unbelievable scenery, and the fact that you get taken right into the mountains, makes this one of our most appealing tours. The HondaCRF250Ls are in their prime here. Also perfect for anyone on a budget as this 9 day tour keeps the cost of pure adventure affordable.
