5.00Ride of a lifetime. Me and Salvatore, a friend of mine, organized through Mukesh this tailor made amazing 8 days trip from Kathmandu to the Upper Mustang with Hondas 250 CRF. We couldn't have been any happier about the organization and the support that we had from the whole group, Mukesh followed us with his boys though the whole trip and helped us out with the daily extra struggles of organizing everything else that wasn't riding the bikes and taking in the incredible views that we were exposed to through the whole journey. The chosen accommodations were super clean and surprisingly high standard considering the remote locations that we reached. We got to 4700 Mt on dirt roads and we come back with stories .to tell to family and friends. As i am writing I am thinking of which trip I am going to have Mukesh organizing for us next time. Thanks again Guys Lorenzo
