The Forbidden Kingdom route in a guided 4×4 convoy. The same twelve-day journey to Lo Manthang as our motorcycle expedition, for travellers who would rather ride in the cab than on two wheels. No riding licence required, and ideal for families and mixed groups.

Kagbeni, Samar, the high passes, the walled city and its monasteries, then Muktinath, Tatopani and Pokhara on the way home.
