Tales from
the Trails

What started as a casual idea between two friends turned into a wild, rain-soaked, 1,100 km motorcycle journey across Nepal, India, and into the kingdom of Bhutan. From pig feasts in Dharan to backroad adventures through Sikkim and an unexpected detour at the border, join Mandil and RJ as they become the first-ever Nepali-registered motorcycles to ride into Bhutan.

With the border behind them and Bhutan ahead, Mandil and RJ dive into winding passes, glacial valleys, brutal singletracks, and whiskey-fueled reunions in the Himalayas. From camping under monsoon skies in Phobjikha to discovering RJ’s long-lost mountain bike in a Thimphu restaurant, Part 2 is all about deep riding, deep connection, and the joy of the long way home.
