Australians can experience the ride of a lifetime on the back of a Royal Enfield motorcycle on a two-week journey through the Tibetan Himalayas to the foot of the world’s tallest peak, Mt Everest.
For a limited time, Nomadic Knights is offering a US$500 discount on its two-week “Rode to Everest” ride, beginning in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 9, 2021. The discount is available if booked by March 31, 2020, using the code EVEREST500.
Leaving the Nepalese capital on May 9, 2021, the guided, 14-day tour climbs north to the endless, high-altitude deserts, snow-capped peaks, deep gorges and high, prayer flag-draped passes of Tibet.
The 2340km-long, round-trip route will see adrenalin-seekers ride classic Royal Enfield Himalayans across hundreds of switchbacks, past glaciers and turquoise lakes, with the sky-piercing, Himalayan mountains accompanying them the whole way. Established in 1893 and made in India, the legendary Royal Enfield brand of motorcycles is the oldest motorbike design in history.
In Tibet, riders will visit the fabled city of Lhasa and the imposing edifice of Pothala Palace – the spiritual home of the exiled Dalai Lama. Guests will stay in the high altitude Rongbuk Monastery and visit the nearby, 5200m-high Everest Base Camp in Tibet which provides the closest vehicle access to the world’s highest mountain.
Managing Director of Nomadic Knights, Alex Pirie, said: “This is one of the most amazing and enlightening road trips any motorcyclist can take, with Tibet overloading the senses every hour of the day,” said Alex who personally guides each of Nomadic Knight’s 10 motorbike tours in Nepal, Tibet and India each year. “Tibetan Buddhists are the most compassionate and gentle people I know despite their life of struggles so, coupled with the incredible adventure, this tour offers many highs – spiritually, culturally and literally!”
