Planning a ride from Pokhara to Manang on May 3.

I’ll be riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan with a pillion (double). I’ve been riding for around 12 years, but mostly inside the valley (no real off-road or highway experience).

Wanted some honest advice:

• How tough is the route right now?
• Is it manageable with a pillion given my experience?
• Any sections that are especially risky or difficult?
• How many days should I realistically plan?

Also, I’m planning to rent a Himalayan in Pokhara, so please suggest good and reliable rental places with well-maintained bikes.

Would really appreciate recent experiences
