Overview
The Ramaroshan Adventure Expedition is a 7-day motorcycle journey from Butwal into the remote highlands of Achham in Far-West Nepal, ending at Ramaroshan — a place known as "Bahra Band, Athar Khand" (12 Lakes, 18 Meadows). This is not a conventional tour; it is a real riding expedition combining highway, mountain road and technical off-road sections, supported by a dedicated 4WD and service van.
Riding through Surkhet, Mangalsen and Jayagadh before the off-road approach to Ramaroshan, the expedition takes you through changing landscapes — highway plains, mountain valleys, remote settlements and finally the highland lakes and pastures of Ramaroshan itself, with views toward the Budhiganga basin and the peaks of Mt. Api and Mt. Saipal.
With a professional support team — expedition leader, front and rear marshals, local guide and medical support — riders can focus on the road and the destination. The journey closes with an Expedition Night at Ramaroshan and a finale in Nepalgunj with certificate distribution, before the final ride back to Butwal.
