On the first day of the Everest Base Camp Motorcycle Tour, riders travel from Kathmandu toward the Nepal–Tibet border, passing through Nuwakot, Rasuwa, and Rasuwagadi. The second day involves crossing the border and immigration to reach Kerung, the first Tibetan town, located at an altitude of about 2,900 meters. Riders spend one full day and night in Kerung to acclimatize to the higher altitude.
From there, the journey continues across the Tibetan plateau, passing stunning Himalayan landscapes and high mountain passes reaching nearly 5,000 meters, before arriving in Tingri on the third day — close to Mount Everest. The next day, riders visit the Rongbuk Monastery and the Everest Base Camp area, then return to Tingri for the night. The return route follows the same path back to Kathmandu via the Kerung border.
This Tibet Motorbike Tour itinerary can be customized for private groups. For those interested in a longer journey, it’s possible to extend the route toward Lhasa or include the Mount Kailash Motorbike Tour. Individual riders can also join a group tour, though it’s recommended to have at least five riders in a team, as smaller groups result in higher costs in Tibet.
The best seasons for this motorcycle tour are April to June and September to October. Note that Tibet remains closed to foreign travelers in March each year until further official notice.
According to the latest Tibet travel regulations, tours from Nepal require a minimum of four participants to obtain the necessary entry visa and permits. The Everest Base Camp Motorbike Tour price listed is based on a group of six riders. Costs vary depending on the group size, but departure dates are available for those who wish to join small group tours, especially for solo riders.
