just stupidity Fern haha I knew it was bad. I was looking for a challange and I got it. normally the locals will have an obscure sign or a local will give you a wave stopping idiots like me. I must of missed it. 4x4 trucks were making it thats why there was no road blockage.
I made some friends spent the night in a village and had a nice bumpy tractor ride into town to get some oil the next day. The bikes been fine since

from Pokhara the road to Tansen and 40km beyond is really nice. I rode to the closest chinese border from pokhara and didnt think of it its only 120km round trip but Id give that a miss just a road imo
Also if your heading to Ladhak from there the road to the western border is smoothish highway riding. In case you were wondering I didnt really know what to expect

Still rotated but it gives an idea, looks crossable now.
Did you made it to Muktinath?
How long did it took you to go to Muktinath and back from/to Pokhara?
Can you tell us more about road conditions and temperatures?

I'll be in the area late november, so any fresh info is good for me!

Thank you very much

Sorry about the photo. I'm doing everything from my phone and local sim.

Road was awesome. Hard but doable on my 04 GSA fully loaded but I left my camping gear in pokhara. Between Beni and Lete the road is hard. Deep mud, craggy solid rock, baby head rocks. Lots of streams only the one river of note. You'll get wet.

You'll need to worry about the cold only in muktinath. It took four hours from Beni plus lunch in tete.

That's all I can post right now. Chilling in chitwan.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
