Where We Ride

Our tours will take you all over Nepal. You will not only visit the popular tourist destinations but will go deeper into the mountainous nation. Our tours especially focus on the western reaches of Nepal such as Mustang and the Karnali region. They are pristine and undeveloped. You will get to experience the raw adventure of riding through places that have rarely been set foot by outsiders. There might be a few challenging sections, but nothing a novice motorcycle rider can’t handle. Be prepared for more dirt than pavement, and revel in the adventure of riding the path less traveled.

What Bret Tkacs has to say
about Altitude Riders

Vishu Sijali (Altitude Riders) is the best business collaboration I have ever had. He and his crew exceeded every expectation I had for them and are worth the premium you will pay for his services. He is truly the best expedition guide in Nepal. For ½ the cost I could have arranged a simple tour by motorcycle but Vishu created an experience that my riders (www.BretTkacs.com/nepal) could never get on their own or with any other tour company. I support and stand behind Vishu and his staff and trust him 100%. He has truly earned my endorsement.

I recently joined Altitude Riders for a motorcycle tour in Nepal and it was outstanding! Their service was exceptional from start to finish. The motorcycles provided were top-notch, and the mechanics ensured they were always in great condition. Our guide was amazing, knowledgeable about the area and passionate about motorcycle touring. Altitude Riders made us feel like family, and I'd give them a 5-star rating. Highly recommend for an unforgettable adventure in Nepal. Can't wait to join them again! amenities; the route was spectacular and let us explore different areas of Nepal; and the maintenance of the bikes to keep us going. Even when things go south, as they may do in an adventure, Vishu and his team remained level-headed and calm and took care of the situation. I would highly recommend Altitude Riders.

Recently I spent a total of 42 days in Nepal with Altitude Riders expedition team. During that time I had the opportunity to experience all aspects of this expedition, from motorcycle maintenance behind the scenes, to food preparation, to actually shopping in a little villages for supplies. Altitude Riders provided service above and beyond all of our expectations for the entire duration. There isn’t a single aspect of my experience that wasn’t top notch. So many small details that made long days on a motorcycle enjoyable. Incredible scenery selection, camping locations, meeting people in villages, cultural experiences and the amazing food! The support crew was also incredible, funny and practical jokers yet took care of us like rock stars. I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience. Absolutely amazing group of people showing us their beautiful country. 5 out of 5 stars!

Excellent tours with a local guide who knows every road and detail about Nepal. Very knowledgeable and friendly with excellent staff of support personnel to take care of all our needs. Highly recommended!

Tim Satisfied Rider

"Trekking with Vishu was perfect. We were treated like family, all our needs were met, and we were shown amazing local culture and incredible landscapes. We also made long-lasting friendships. Best of all, we knew we were supporting a small local business and not a large multi-national corporation."

I spent two weeks with Vishu as our guide in Nepal for Clean Drink Adventures in October. What an amazing, kind, knowledgable person. Don't miss out of your chance to join up with him!

Vishu is the most amazing guide we have ever come across. His willingness to please and infectious personality made our trip the trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much to you and your team, Vishu - you were all amazing and we can't wait to return.

Chad Corbett Satisfied Rider

I rode with Vishu and crew for 2 weeks across Nepal with Clean Drink Adventures in May 2019. I travel a lot and ride a lot but this was by far the most unique experience I've had. They are very organized, routes are well-known even though few of the roads are mapped, and they make sure your every need is met while out. We camped the whole time and having such an experienced expedition crew along made it effortless. Nepal always has a way of changing your "plans" and I was really impressed at how quickly they could ditch the old plan, come up with a new one and still have camp set and an amazing scratch-made dinner prepared on time. These guys know Nepal and they know hospitality!

Krysten Koehn Satisfied Rider

I trekked to the Everest Base Camp with Altitude riders in December of 2008. Our guides Vishu, Bicky and Shere were extremely knowledgeable about the region, trails, peaks and local culture. Beyond this, they were highly experienced mountaineers that cared fastidiously for our safety and well-being, making sure we acclimatized and replenished ourselves properly. After only a few days, we knew we had made life-long friends. The landscapes of the Himalayas are sublime—rice fields and terraced villages nestle in valleys between the most monumental peaks you can imagine and glaciers cascade down from pristine peaks. I could not give a higher or more enthusiastic recommendation for Altitude riders. Go! Go to Nepal right now!

Vishu and his team were top notch. The entire trip was well managed, from a comfort perspective with great sites to camp, great food and other amenities; the route was spectacular and let us explore different areas of Nepal; and the maintenance of the bikes to keep us going. Even when things go south, as they may do in an adventure, Vishu and his team remained level-headed and calm and took care of the situation. I would highly recommend Altitude Riders.
