Fabulous - We had a very experienced guide so the route was set out and timed perfectly. Plenty to see and sufficient amount of rest to reflect and take it in. Would highly recommend, I believe a motorcycle is the best way to see the country. Only other way would be on the buses and those guys are crazy. Already planning my next trip.

Enfield tour in Nepal! - We took a royal enfield tour from Kathmandu to Chitwan (National Park) then to Pokhara and back to Kathmandu. For the chitwan experience we were unlucky cos we didnt spot any rhinos. Only some deers, wildboar and peacocks. So it all depends on luck cos its in the wild. For pokhara we did rafting (upper seti) but it you did rafting in say, Bali, then youll be slightly disappointed bcs its not as hardcore and paragliding.(Paragliding can get a little bit dizzy) The Bike trip was crazyyyyy. It requires a lil bit of skill, the traffic and off-road condition its not for the faint hearted. But the view was amazing! Avoid riding at night its very stressful. Bhagwat and the tour guide, Gopal, is the nicest and most helpful people, and the Nepalese people in general are very2 kind! I love them.

Amazing! But... - Totally worth the experience, the owner Bhagwat is so nice, helpful, understanding and many other nice words that can describe him. But, please be careful on the road because the roads can be very dangerous during the night. One more thing i would like to say, ask for Gopal to be your tour guide, he is the most patience man i ever seen, very nice, very awesome, very understanding and very friendly.
