There are a number of different types of roads in the Himalayas, some of which are completely on dirt or gravel, some of them are tarmac, but ratty and filled with potholes. There are roads that appear smooth, but turn bumpy suddenly, or you turn a corner and sand is strewn across the road. The conditions of the 'roads' can change in a blink of an eye, so you need to keep an eye on things.

It has been a long time since we have run motorcycle tours & bike rental service in the Himalayas, and in the Nepal Himalayan region, there more unpaved road sections aboard our motorcycle tours, but as we say, even the new tarmac roads are hazardous! The roads in the Himalayas are mostly curvy and you'll encounter countless hairpin turns and twisty bends. The riding in the Himalayas is phenomenal and you'll be grinning from ear to ear every day!

There is a very short window for Nepal mountain bike trip and this window depends on the area of the mountains. Due to the extreme weather conditions during the winter months and the large amount of snowfall each year, the roads are only open & safe during summer months. It has been a monsoon season during these months, so many people assume it will be extremely rainy during the trip. While this is true in some regions, it will be totally false in others, especially at higher altitudes.

In general, during the earlier months of the motorcycle riding season there will be a higher chance of rain, but the temperatures will be warmer. Conditions on the ground will also be wetter as the winter snow melts. This can make for some exciting water crossings, but can also cause some accidents.

The riding months in the middle of the year are typically characterized by the ideal mix of blue skies and mild temperatures, while the later months feature the most spectacular blue skies, but with lower temperatures and a greater chance of snowfall at higher altitudes.

If you're on a motorcycle tour in the Himalayas, for instance on the Upper mustang bike ride trip remember one thing: "Himalayas regions are the unpredictable areas to conquer"! Weather condition can change very quickly which is not a big deal at all, but we must be known about the scenario.
