Eurasia on a motorbike - Barcelona Kathmandu

We invite you on an incredible 55-day motorcycle journey from Barcelona to Kathmandu. A truly exceptional experience, and arguably the most adventurous proposal offered by a motorcycle travel agency in Spain.

This adventure will take you through 13 countries, covering more than 12,000 kilometers, exploring an incredible diversity of cultures and landscapes.

Note: Almost the entire route is on paved roads. In some sections of the Pamir region in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, we may encounter gravel tracks and some sandy stretches, alternating with roads in poor condition.

On this motorcycle journey from Europe to Asia, you will have the opportunity to admire the most exquisite mosques in Istanbul, Samarkand, and Pakistan. Explore palaces and Hindu temples, marvel at the ancient ruins of Roman and Greek civilizations. You will embark on a journey through religions as you transition from Italian Christianity to the various interpretations of Islam in Turkey, along the ancient Silk Road and through Pakistan, then immerse yourself in the intriguing Hinduism of India, finally ending with the serene worldview of Nepalese Buddhism.

We will ride mountain roads that take us from the Balkans in Greece to the highest mountains in the world, the majestic Himalayas in Nepal.

  • The route through the Greater Caucasus Mountains in Georgia and Russia via the Dariali Pass.

  • The Pamir Highway in Tajikistan, one of the most spectacular routes on the planet.

  • The mythical Karakoram Highway in Pakistan.

We will immerse ourselves in the warm, crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea while exploring the northern region of Turkey. We will cross the deserts and steppes of Kazakhstan, winding along the legendary roads of the Pamir in Tajikistan and the Karakoram in Pakistan, before entering the lush vegetation of the tropical forests at the foot of the Himalayas in India and Nepal.

You will have the chance to come face to face with sacred cows, elephants, and rhinoceroses in the lands of Nepal and India, while we keep an eye out for the elusive and fascinating tiger—though they will likely remain hidden from view.

After swimming in the Aegean waters and along the Greek coast, we arrive in Turkey, with our first night in Istanbul


Days 7–21: Turkey – Georgia – Russia – Kazakhstan.
We cross the northern part of the country, visiting ancient cities with Ottoman architecture, before reaching the border with Georgia. We venture into the Greater Caucasus mountains, riding along winding roads and through valleys that seem frozen in time. We enjoy Georgian hospitality, homemade meals, artisanal wine, and medieval fortresses. We visit the cave monasteries of Vardzia, ride along the legendary Georgian Military Road, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of its monumental capital, Tbilisi. From Georgia, we continue northeast, entering Russia near the Caspian Sea. From Astrakhan, we cross into Kazakhstan, venturing into the vast steppes of Central Asia. From here, we begin a long stretch across the Kazakh desert toward Beyneu, the gateway to Uzbekistan. Infinite horizons, solitary roads, and the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.


Days 21–33: Uzbekistan – Tajikistan – China.
In Uzbekistan, the historic cities of Bukhara and Samarkand stand as treasures of the ancient Silk Road trade. Crossing into Tajikistan brings the imposing mountain landscapes of the Pamir Highway, known as the "Roof of the World." The road offers spectacular views, with passes over 4,500 meters. Finally, we arrive in China, entering through the Xinjiang region, the gateway to the vast Tibetan plateau. From here, the legendary Karakoram Highway is within reach.


Days 34–43: Pakistan.
The journey begins at the imposing Khunjerab Pass, at 4,693 meters above sea level—the highest point on the Karakoram Highway, one of the most iconic routes in the world, surrounded by majestic mountains, glaciers, and snow-capped peaks. The legendary Hunza Valley, the villages of Karimabad and Gulmit, and the spectacular views of Rakaposhi and Ultar Sar are just some of the highlights awaiting us in this region.


Days 44–48: India.
Our next stop takes us to Amritsar, India, where we visit the iconic Golden Temple and take part in religious ceremonies. It’s an opportunity to immerse ourselves in India's spirituality. In the following days, we arrive at the foothills of the Himalayas to cross into Nepal from Banbasa.


Days 49–55: Nepal.
From the border, we reach the Bardia animal reserve. A rest day enjoying a jeep safari inside the park. This part of the journey allows us to connect with nature and experience the beauty of Nepalese wildlife. We travel through Nepal, visiting the charming city of Pokhara, famous for its natural setting and as a starting point for Himalayan adventures. Here, we can enjoy a relaxing day by Phewa Lake and explore the local culture. We continue our journey toward Kathmandu, but before arriving, we cross the stunning Kushma suspension bridges, surrounded by Nepal’s mountainous landscape. Finally, we reach Kathmandu, where our exceptional motorcycle trip concludes. Here, we enjoy a guided tour of the city, exploring its historical monuments and vibrant street life. Kathmandu is a melting pot of cultures and a perfect way to culminate this adventure.
