Triumph Nepal Concludes Ride Through the Lost Kingdom of Mustang

Triumph Nepal, in collaboration with Hansraj Hulaschand & Co. Pvt. Ltd., successfully wrapped up its thrilling adventure ride — Triumph Epic Ride: Echoes of the Lost Kingdom — held from April 20 to April 27, 2025.

Over eight unforgettable days, 40 Triumph riders set out from Kathmandu on an epic 1,000 km journey to the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang in Upper Mustang. Riding the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, they traversed rugged Himalayan trails, sacred sites, hidden caves, and towering mountain passes.

“This wasn’t just a ride — it was a cultural immersion, a physical test, and a spiritual journey,” said Sagar Thapa, Manager at Triumph Nepal. “It proved that the best way to explore the road less traveled is from the saddle of a Triumph.”

Ride Highlights:

Engines roared to life at the Triumph Nepal showroom as riders cruised past Muglin and Hemja to reach Kushma — the starting point of newfound friendships and shared adventure.

Day 2: Into Mustang – Kushma to Marpha (90 KM | 2,650m)

The landscape shifted as riders wound through Deurali, Titi Lake, and Lete’s alpine forests, finally arriving at Marpha — a quaint village famed for apple orchards and traditional charm.

Day 3: A Spiritual Climb – Marpha to Muktinath (45 KM | 3,710m)

Day 4: Into the Forbidden – Muktinath to Lo Manthang (105 KM | 3,840m)

The convoy returned to its starting point, the Triumph Nepal showroom. At Bikers Café, the group celebrated not just the end of a journey, but the beginning of countless stories.
