On two wheels, under your own control
Explore motorbike adventures around Pokhara
Motorbike touring — riding a motorcycle on Nepal's hill and mountain roads — is a different experience from mountain biking. We coordinate guided day rides and multi-day motorcycle tours through the hills around Pokhara, matched to your riding experience, with licence, gear and insurance guidance and route details confirmed as part of your quotation.
- Day rides & multi-day tours
- A single day out to the foothills, or a longer touring route — planned around your time and riding experience.
- Licence, gear & insurance guidance
- What's required to ride, protective gear expectations, and insurance that actually covers motorcycle touring.
- Route & support confirmed at quotation
- Bike model, any support vehicle and the exact route are confirmed for your dates — not guaranteed sight-unseen.
Where to start
Four regions, one coordinated journey
Shakurma's coverage begins with Nepal's most complementary regions — combine two, three or all four into a single itinerary.
Kathmandu
Nepal's capital is usually where a journey begins and ends — a dense, living valley of temples, courtyards and markets that rewards slowing down for at least two or three days.
Explore Kathmandu
Pokhara
Our home base. A lakeside city facing the Annapurna range, and Nepal's most versatile hub for trekking, adventure sports, wellness and simply slowing down.
Explore Pokhara
Chitwan
A UNESCO World Heritage lowland national park — one of the best places in Asia to see one-horned rhinos, and, with patience, a wide range of birdlife and other wildlife.
Explore Chitwan
Lumbini
A UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage site and the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) — a place of quiet significance rather than a conventional sightseeing stop.
Explore LumbiniWhat Shakurma is
Your Nepal-based DMC and single coordination point
Shakurma Adventures Nepal is a destination management company (DMC) based in Lakeside, Pokhara. We design and coordinate complete Nepal journeys, and manage your enquiry and communication directly — while specialised services (accommodation, transport, trekking, activities and wellness) are delivered through carefully selected, appropriately registered local partners.
That means you get local knowledge and a single relationship, without us pretending to personally run every hotel, jeep or trekking crew in the country.
One Nepal-based coordination point
A single point of contact for planning, questions and support, before and during your trip.
Strong on-the-ground network
Established relationships with registered accommodation, transport and activity partners across our covered regions.
Tailor-made planning
Every itinerary is adjusted to your interests, pace, budget and fitness level — not sold as a fixed package.
Transparent inclusions & exclusions
You'll know exactly what is and isn't included before you commit to anything.
Support before and during your journey
A direct local contact throughout your trip, not just at the booking stage.
Genuine local knowledge
Pokhara hospitality experience shapes realistic pacing, room choices and day-to-day logistics.
Multi-destination journeys

Why travel with Shakurma
Local knowledge shaped by years of experience
Ganesh brings nearly a decade of experience in Pokhara’s hospitality and tourism industry. He has worked closely with travellers from their first enquiry through reservations, arrival and day-to-day travel arrangements, giving him a practical understanding of what makes a journey run smoothly.

Yoga & meditation in Nepal
Pokhara's lake and mountain setting is a genuinely good place to pause — whether that's a single class worked into a wider itinerary, or a dedicated multi-day retreat. We work with qualified local teachers and present these experiences honestly, as wellness practice rather than medical treatment or spectacle.
