- For a traveller a bucket list is something you always cherish. It’s something that gets you going, it’s something that motivates you to relentlessly pursue your goal. Some bucket lists are meticulously planned and dreamed, while others just happen by a chance encounter. One such bucket list ride for me was to visit Lo Manthang near the Nepal-Tibet border on a motorcycle. I realised my dream with KTM India as they invited ZigWheels to be part of the KTM ProXP Upper Mustang Adventure Ride. The ride included 17 KTM 390 Adventure owners from India and around 11 KTM owners from Nepal. In the next 11 days we explored the beautiful Nepal countryside, rode parallel to the towering Himalayas and had an absolute adventure on some really challenging trails. Should Upper Mustang be in your bucket list and how did the KTM 390 Adventure perform in this arduous challenge? Watch our epic ride video to find out!

Welcome to Nepal..watching from Pokhara.
Thank you and Pokhara has such a chill vibe!
Now this, I have to admit, is a tickler for adventure. Although it appears sponsored, the presentation is praiseworthy in its own right.
There are far better places to venture than Upper Mustang, of course, but this has felt like a movie well worth watching.
Thanks for the kind words :)
@@arunmohannadar9843 from the other side of the border, have always loved your persona and presentation. And this one was no exception, rest assured.
Thank you ZigWheels for sending your greatest asset , “Arun ji “ for this adventurous masterpiece. You guys are always welcome to come and taste this piece to naturally blessed country. Lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵 and Nepalese!!! 🎉❤
You're too kind Om bhai. We shall definitely ride again and explore more!
12:31 yeah that's me :) very adventurous ride we had with KTM and ZigWheels

Wow this was a surprise for a suscriber from nepal.
Welcome to our country.
I hope you guys had a great time😍♥️
Thanks buddy and we had a lovely ride, hope to be back soon :)
This is a really refreshing video and a good break from barrage of bike reviews all over and along with ADV 390 even Arun’s performance is awesome and so the ADV 390 is better than Schumi’s perception or POV
Thank you and glad you liked our work :)
This video is so nicely made.. We general public aren't aware how many difficulties you all go thru and still keep the spirits high.. ♥️
Thank you so much for appreciating out efforts :)
It was like a movie , great video
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
I did only upto lower mustang on my Interceptor (Delhi to Nepal 10 days) just back in April 23...But Man you are tested to limits on the roads that don't exist with mud and gravel up until you reach the scenic roads....
All that toil is worth it ;)
Did Interceptor's suspension and ground clearance not cause any discomfort in the ride? I own baker express.
Getting my KTM adventure standard variant on Wednesday, have to join the next long trip the pro xp team plans!
Congratulations!!
Hi Arun, the Title Happiness and a positive vibe will always be around you in all situations, as i got a chance to feel that in this ride and its a great experience to ride with you 🤟
Thanks buddy, it was a pleasure riding with you. Hope to meet you soon :)
Wawoo 😮 it's a amazing. And great video
Thanks buddy!!
👍 amazing
you would have gone to corolla pass at china boarder.. just 4 hours ride from lomanthang. the scene would have been more better❤
One of the most beautiful places in globe 🌍
Most certainly
Welcome to the land of Himalayas 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🔥
Thank you and it's gorgeous!
@@arunmohannadar9843 thank you all too for showing thousands of Indians how gorgeous their neighbor country Nepal is. Grateful.
👌
Welcome to Nepal🇳🇵😊
Thanks Ronish :)

Welcome my Indian brother to land of buddha .
Thank you buddy :)
Let me tell you such rides are quite tough. You cover 300-400km daily on hilly and off road terrains. Wash your gears, go to sleep, repeat the same thing jext morning. There is no time to explore and connect. This can take a toll.
Always pace your ride and if possible try to take a day off and explore!
Saw a couple of 250s as well. Was just wondering why you guys don’t talk about it.
The Nepali expert riders were riding those 250's with an ease and in a very good way
How many days of permit can we get at the border for nepal? As per my knowledge max day is 7 but the video covers more than that.
you can get as many days as you like.... max i believe is 30 days but not sure... per day 100 nepali rupees at Sunauli border you have to pay ...RC license and voter id is must.....However there is separate permit for Mustang...lower and upper which you can get from Pokhara(from where journey to mustang starts)..must take permits here as if you go without permit from here you will pay double on upper chekpoints if you didn't took permit at pokhra...1000 nepali rupees for lower and bit higher for upper Mustang.....
@@RoshanKumar-pt4vz When I went to the border for the permit they said at a time they can only give 7 days max permit. After 6 days we can renew the permit for another 7 days only. Also, where in Pokhara do we get the permit for the Mustang?
@@SatishKumar-ov1kk i took 10 days permit from sunauli border recently in april 23...rules may have changed..and for permit you may search for tourist office in pokhra... don't remember exact location
❤❤❤
black man thanks for visiting npl..❤
please answer this : was this only for media guys ?
It's open to all KTM owners.
And why didn't you mention that one of your rider got shoulder dislocated during crash on upper mustang and your nepali Marshall call helicopter immediately and took him to the hospital.
not nivari ; Its Newari (3:51)
Sorry, will keep in mind.
Sach Pass hi chale jate
Terrains here are tougher than sach pass. It is graveyard for motorcycles.
Bhai ek to aap jaise log kisi ko kuch krne mat dena
@@awalsingh4 chhote jis baat ka pta na ho waha bolna nhi chahiye 🤫🤫🤫
Savage bhai 🔥🤣🤣🤣 lol
Production quality 😢😢
Was it not good?
@@zigwheels Frankly..NO, it just didn't match the zigwheels level of creation.
Video quality was not up to the mark, most of the shots were pixelated as if they were shot on an old phone.
Editing seemed sluggish at times, cuts were off, frames dropped.
The pacing of the video was too fast, and seemed hurried for some reason. I'm not sure if it was even graded and corrected (color), some shots almost looked left out as they were shot.
With those backdrops and landscapes the video should have been a banger one. Sadly a missed opportunity!
❤❤❤
Thank you :)
