While you are planning to ride a motorbike in the rugged terrain of Upper Mustang it requires good preparation. We recommend the following gear.
Motorbike Gear:
- Helmet (essential for safety).
- Riding gloves (to protect your hands and provide comfort).
- Jacket (preferably a durable, weatherproof jacket for protection against wind, cold, and dust).
- Riding pants (or durable trekking pants for comfort and protection).
- Knee guards and elbow pads (to reduce injury in case of a fall).
- Proper boots (sturdy, ankle-high boots suitable for riding and walking).
Personal Gear:
- Backpack or duffle bag with essential clothing, including warm layers (it can get cold at night).
- Waterproof jacket (important as the weather can change unexpectedly).
- Sunscreen and lip balm (the sun can be harsh in higher altitudes).
- First aid kit (include basic medical supplies such as painkillers, antiseptic cream, bandages, and any personal medications).
- Personal identification and permits (always carry photocopies of your permits and passport).
- Headlamp or flashlight (it may be dark during evenings or in case of power outages).
Motorbike Maintenance Gear:
- Chain oil, air pump, and basic tool kit (though the rental company may provide these items, it's always a good idea to have backups).
