Climbing Higher on Two Wheels: The Everest View Bike Ride

Experience the ultimate Himalayan motorbike adventure through the Everest region, riding from Kathmandu across high mountain passes, rugged off-road terrain and historic access routes with panoramic views of Mount Everest and surrounding peaks.

The Everest region motorbike expeditions offer two distinct high-altitude overland journeys from Kathmandu into northeastern Nepal, following historic access routes toward the Solu and lower Khumbu regions. Traveling via Dhulikhel, Jiri, Okhaldhunga, Salleri and Phaplu, the routes transition from paved highways to gravel roads, forest trails, rocky tracks, river crossings and narrow mountain sections carved into steep hillsides, requiring confident off-road riding skills and prior experience on mixed terrain. A major highlight of the Everest Base Camp approach is crossing Lamjura Pass (3,530 m), one of the highest motorable points on this corridor, before descending toward the Dudh Koshi Valley, while the Everest View route reaches Pattale Viewpoint (approximately 2,840 m), a renowned lower-altitude view-point offering panoramic views of Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam and surrounding Himalayan peaks on clear days. These rides follow segments of the historic overland trail used before the construction of the Lukla airstrip, combining significant elevation gain, diverse terrain, and authentic rural hill landscapes. Road conditions vary seasonally due to monsoon damage, landslides and ongoing rural road development, making mechanical reliability, acclimatization awareness and weather preparedness essential.

As the journey progresses into the Khumbu region, riders enter the homeland of the Sherpa community, internationally recognized for their mountaineering expertise and deep-rooted Tibetan Buddhist traditions. The cultural landscape is marked by monasteries, mani walls, chortens, and prayer flags that hold religious and historical significance. On clear days, the route offers views of Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Ama Dablam (6,812 m), and other prominent Himalayan peaks. The area falls within Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its alpine ecosystems and dramatic mountain scenery, and requires official entry permits and documentation. Overall, the expedition combines demanding terrain, significant altitude, cultural immersion, and regulated access into one of the world’s most iconic high-mountain environments. The most favorable seasons for both journeys are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when skies are generally clear, temperatures are moderate, and Himalayan visibility is at its best.
