What to expect
Three full days in the saddle on capable 150cc bikes, covering roughly 350–400 km of mixed tarmac, gravel, and dirt. Your guide manages pace and stops—expect 5–6 hours riding daily with breaks for photo moments and village visits. Mornings start early; afternoons wind through switchbacks with cumulative altitude gains. Nights are spent in simple guesthouses in mountain towns. Food is local and hearty. The riding demands basic bike control but suits all fitness levels; guides adjust routes for confidence and ability.
Good to know
Bring rain gear—weather changes fast in the mountains. Wear sturdy footwear and sun protection. Motorbikes carry luggage, so pack light. Not suitable for spinal injuries or those uncomfortable on bikes. Groups cap at 6–8 riders. Public transport exists locally; book well ahead for peak season.
