MOTORCYCLE EXPEDITIONS
A motorcycle is the perfect platform to explore the narrow roads and hidden corners of Nepal and we do motorcycle trips unlike anyone else. Our industry leading mobile basecamp allows us to go where few can and in doing so put the adventure back in adventure riding.

It’s an expedition no one has ever attempted. In November of this year a team of riders will be the first to span the length of the Himalayas of Nepal by way of the highest network of roads and trails. It’s the type of bold expedition Far Xplorer is known for. For one thousand miles this team will pass through some of the most rugged and untamed terrain in South Asia. This is true exploration at its very best. Although this team is full, look for a repeat trip in 2026.
Be the adventure.
HISTORIC FIRST
November 20 - December 7, 2025
In November of 2025, a team of riders will become the first ever to traverse the Himalayas of Nepal by way of the highest continuous network of roads and trails. This is the type of endeavor only Far Xplorer can tackle due in large part to our exclusive style of expeditionary travel. Stay tuned for more information on this historic first - a new overland route - the Great Himalayan Traverse.
Expeditions Not Tours
Bold routes, ambitious itineraries, and far-flung destinations. Those are the hallmarks of a Far Xplorer Expedition. Unlike traditional tours, our expeditions are created to allow true adventures to unfold organically. We go far beyond well-traveled tourist routes to places few can reach, or even know exist.
Let us show you the real Nepal. Be a part of a proper expedition to venture far beyond where packaged tours go.
Industry Leading Support
With more than 75 years of combined expedition travel in the Himalayas, our Nepali crew is by far the most experienced. Professionally trained and certified, they are passionate about their home country and sharing it with our valued guests.
If anything sets us apart, it is our tireless and dedicated crew.
THE FAR XPLORER APPROACH TO ADV RIDING
-
Our staff has more than 50 years of collective expedition experience and continue to improve our service standards each outing. We’re passionate about being the best in the business.
-
Of the few motorcycle touring companies in Nepal, none offer the exclusive routes we have pioneered over the years. Simply put, we go where no other outfitter can. It helps us create the most authentic travel experience to places few outsiders get to see.
-
It’s not uncommon for companies in Nepal to book groups as large as 15-20 riders. We never exceed 9, with 8 our standard size.
-
We don’t just ride, we travel. This means we spend ample time off the bikes to explore Nepal. An average ride day is between 4-6 hours.
-
We don’t like to use the word, “tour.” We create travel experiences with enough latitude to let the adventure unfold organically. That means each trip is unique and reflects the chemistry of each small group. We’re also the most innovative outfitters in Nepal and always folding in new routes and fresh cultural experiences.
Royal Enfield Motorcycles
When the first roads were scratched into the world’s biggest mountains the pioneering machines to traverse them were Royal Enfield motorcycles. Stalwarts of Himalayan travel, we find they are perfect for our type of travel. Simple and easily repaired in the field, they have served us well and we wouldn’t use anything else.
How is the riding?
We put the adventure back in adventure riding. Our routes don’t have a single dull mile with something exciting around every turn. From confident novice to seasoned pro, we have routes for all abilities. There is nothing quite like a ride through Nepal.
The Far Xplorer Expedition Basecamp
Private sleeping tents, a full staff of cooks and porters, multi-course meals served in a dining tent, hot showers, and a proper flushing restroom. We travel in true expedition style.
Absolutely unbelievable. It was not always easy, but I will never forget my time in Nepal. The Far Xplorer team were great and made sure we were always comfortable. It’s a great operation in a beautiful country. - Alan, USA
