The itinerary of the Rara Lake Motor Bike Tour starts today. When you arrive at Kathmandu airport, we will pick you up and transfer you to the hotel. Once you reach and check into the hotel, you will have free time to relax so that you adjust yourself to the Kathmandu atmosphere far away from your home. Then, you can take some wanderings around. We will be giving you some guidance on how to do that if you feel the need.
We will have an orientation session about the trip in the evening.
It is the first-day ride on this trip. Our Royal Enfield motorbikes will be all ready to thunder past different towns and cities on our ride to Lumbini today. The adventure begins after breakfast in the morning and heads towards the destination. About 9 hours of motorbike ride will take us through different towns and cities and beautiful landscapes to enjoy. The highway that stretches along River Trishuli takes us to Narayangadh to meet the southern plains of Nepal before the street stretches towards Lumbini.
On reaching Lumbini, we can explore this beautiful and sacred birthplace of Buddha.
The second-day ride of the Rara Lake Motor Bike Tour is to Kohalpur in western Nepal from Lumbini. This 270 kilometers stretch on the east-west highway brings us the remarkable southern rural life of Nepal. About seven hours of easy-paced ride will allow us more time to soak into the beauty of towns, villages, and the surroundings. Our overnight stay is at Kohalpur today.
Today onwards, our ride is mainly Karnali bound to the ultimate destination as Rara Lake. After that, we will be heading to Manama, the district headquarters of Kalikot. We complete a 250 kilometers stretch of the motor-able road to reach Manama. The ride today will introduce us to the remoteness of the western hills of Nepal. The ruggedness of the landscape with challenging terrain makes an impression of the complex life living there. As the road is narrow and off-road, our speed is slow and careful, but at the same time, we will have plenty of time to absorb and soak into the reality of the surroundings.
On the second day of off-roading towards Rara Lake and we will reach Talcha for an overnight stay. Another day of exploring the wilderness of the region is due today. We are riding about 150 kilometers to Talcha today that lies close to Rara Lake. People who choose not to drive or ride fly to this place from Nepalgunj and trek to Rara.
The riding part on this journey is up to Talca only. We are trekking to Rara Lake that is just a short trek on a beautiful trekking trail. When we reach Rara Lake, we will be mesmerized by the beauty of a peaceful and massive lake. We settle on the bank of beautiful Rara Lake and soak into the beauty. We will enjoy the lake all day and its surroundings.
Early in the morning, as the lake casts fresh and peaceful air upon us, we trek down to Talca. And the riding adventure begins again. We are headed to Surkhet today on another off-roading trip. Finally, we reach Surkhet in the evening to relax and finish the off-road trip on the journey.
Although the highway stretch is long, 310 km, today, it will be an easy ride. Our ride goes past Kohalpur to Butwal. Butwal is a beautiful city along the east-west highway of Nepal, closer to Lumbini. We spend overnight in Butwal.
We ride back to Kathmandu along the same highway that we took to ride to Lumbini on the 2 nd day of the Rara Lake Motor Bike Tour. So it will be another seven hours ride to Kathmandu.
As the final day of the Rara Lake Motor Bike Tour, it's time to say goodbye. We will transfer you to the airport for your last departure flight as per your flight schedule. We heartily thank you for being on this trip. We also hope that the journey must have given you an excellent experience of exploring the Karnali region's beauty and reality and Rara Lake. We would like to hear from you and welcome you back to Nepal sometime for another adventure.
