A FreeSpirit Adventure Royal Enfield Road Tour - Jiri Ride And Chill

Jiri Ride And Chill

Jiri Ride And Chill This is a 4 night 5 day Road Tour and 3 hour Trek into the hills east of Kathmandu. Departing Kathmandu - we’ll meet at your hotel, we ride to the Tibetan Border and rest in the peaceful terraced gardens at The Last Resort.

An early start gets us onto the road to Jiri. Built by Swiss engineers over 30 years ago the road climbs steeply over three passes before Charikot and through steep sided pine forests before emerging in the hidden valley of Jiri - home to an old Swiss built cheese factory.

The pastures above the town are perfect for a short trek and picnic lunch.

Jiri Ride And Chill Overview

This is a 4 night 5 day Road Tour and 3 hour Trek into the hills east of Kathmandu. Departing Kathmandu - we’ll meet at your hotel, we ride to the Tibetan Border and rest in the peaceful terraced gardens at The Last Resort.

An early start gets us onto the road to Jiri. Built by Swiss engineers over 30 years ago the road climbs steeply over three passes before Charikot and through steep sided pine forests before emerging in the hidden valley of Jiri - home to an old Swiss built cheese factory.

In Jiri we take a short trek (or not) up the valley to another Swiss enterprise "The Cheese Factory", where at 2,633m. Yak milk is processed into butter and cheese. We picnic in beautiful alpine meadows and back down for afternoon tea.

The next day we head back towards Kathmandu but stay on the valley-edge in Dhulikhel. Our last day winds back through old Newari Villages in the south of the Valley, lunch and back to your Kathmandu hotel.

Itinerary Detail

Day 1

We meet at your hotel brief you about the motorcycles and kick-off early for edge of the valley and the start of the Arniko Highway. It's a challenging first day's ride and after the busy roads in the valley we can begin to enjoy the rolling hills that take us further east. We are heading for The Last Resort, home of the world’s highest Bungy Jump. We spend the night in cool tented terraces, a mile above the Bhote Khosi.

Sometimes the roads are dusty mud roads, sometimes stone roads.
Kathmandu city traffic is busy and at times aggressive.
Incidents and accidents on the highway can cause the closure of the road, sometimes for hours.
Riding motorcycles on Nepal's highways can be quite dangerous at times, careful riding is a must!
Requires a good degree of cool and calm and mental stamina.
Daytime is typically hot and sunny, evenings warm to cool, sometimes rain showers.
