Everest base camp motorbike tour

Ride to Everest Base Camp by Motorcycle

A motorbiking trip to Everest Base Camp (EBC) is one of the most adventurous ways to reach the base of Mount Everest. Not only will you reach the EBC from the Tibetan side, but you will also get to explore Tibet and its unparalleled beauty. Known as the Roof of the World, Tibet is one of the most remote regions globally. Riding from Lhasa to EBC is a life-changing journey that offers a unique perspective on two different Himalayan nations. Despite both being Himalayan regions, the cultural and lifestyle differences between Tibet and its neighbors will fascinate you.

EBC Motorbike Tour Package

Riding along the Friendship Highway, you will travel towards Everest Base Camp. The journey includes descending towards the former home of the Dalai Lama and crossing five high passes exceeding 4,500 meters. The route consists of 80% tarmac road and 20% non-technical off-road paths, making the journey easier on a motorbike. During your stay in the city, you will visit numerous cultural heritage sites, learning about the history and traditions of the Tibetan people.

Experienced guides with extensive knowledge of bike mechanics will lead the tour. The Everest Base Camp Motorbike Tour can be customized to meet your needs. We offer tailor-made itineraries and the option to join our scheduled departure dates. We cater to both small and large groups, though groups of fewer than five people may incur higher costs in Tibet. Contact us if you have any queries.
