From the high Himalayas to the European Alps and the vast steppes of Mongolia, every Motorcycle Sherpa rider will now be matched with a machine perfectly suited to the terrain.

Nepal, India & Bhutan Operations: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
For its flagship adventures in Nepal, India, and Bhutan, Motorcycle Sherpa has introduced an all-new fleet of 2026 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 motorcycles. Purpose-built for high altitude, rough roads, and long days in the saddle, the Himalayan 450 represents a significant leap in performance and technology. With its liquid-cooled 452cc engine, improved suspension, ride-by-wire throttle, selectable riding modes, and modern navigation and safety systems, the 450 delivers greater power at altitude, enhanced comfort, and increased confidence on both pavement and remote mountain tracks.
“The Himalayas are where Motorcycle Sherpa was born, and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is the most capable machine we’ve ever put into this environment,” said the Motorcycle Sherpa team. “This upgrade transforms the riding experience across Nepal, India, and Bhutan, allowing our guests to tackle the world’s highest roads with even more ease, safety, and enjoyment.”
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is a modern, rugged adventure-touring motorcycle featuring a new liquid-cooled 452cc engine, Showa suspension, ride-by-wire with multiple modes, and a circular TFT display with Google Maps integration, offering a significant upgrade in performance and technology over its predecessor while remaining an accessible, capable bike for both on-road touring and off-road exploration. It blends classic rugged styling with contemporary features for versatile adventure riding.Â
