Overview
Motorcycle tours Asia at a glance
Asia is the continent for riders who want distance and contrast. In the Indian Himalayas you cross high passes above 5,000 metres between Ladakh and the Spiti Valley, on gravel roads where the air grows thin. Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia open up endless steppe, nomad camps and river crossings far from any tarmac. In Southeast Asia you ride through the rice terraces and jungle roads of Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, past temples and along the Mekong. Whether the Pamir Highway, the Gobi Desert or the mountains of northern Thailand – every route here is a real journey with a guide who knows the terrain. This page carries only what can actually be booked: fixed departures, vetted operators, stated inclusions. Guided motorcycle tours Asia ride in small groups with a local guide and a support vehicle; self-guided versions hand you the same route with a roadbook and accommodation already booked, but leave the pace and the breaks to you. Whether a trip covers one country or links several is decided by the routes above – or country by country.
What a trip costs, which riding level it asks for and what is included is stated on every tour, before you book.
Riding regions
The riding regions of Asia
Riding regions do not follow borders. These are what decides how a trip feels – and which month it makes sense in.
-
Central Asia & the Pamir
From the Kyrgyz Tian Shan across the Pamir Highway into the steppes of Kazakhstan and Mongolia: plateaus beyond 4,000 metres, tracks instead of roads and riding days on which nothing comes the other way. The most demanding region on the continent – and the one you remember longest.
- Surface
- Gravel, dirt track, roads above 4,000 m
- Demands
- Demanding
- Season
- June to September
-
Himalaya & high plateaus
Ladakh, Spiti and the routes towards Tibet run over the highest rideable passes on earth. Switchbacks cut into rock, glacial streams across the road and thin air that slows rider and engine alike. Acclimatisation is part of the route here, not an afterthought.
- Surface
- Tarmac and gravel, passes above 5,000 m
- Demands
- Demanding
- Season
- June to September

Caucasus & Anatolia
The land bridge between Europe and Asia: Georgian mountain roads such as the military highway to Kazbegi, Armenian monasteries above gorges and the high plains of eastern Anatolia. Little traffic, a lot of hospitality and border crossings that cost time – in return, scenery that changes every 50 kilometres.
- Surface
- Tarmac, mountain roads, short gravel sections
- Demands
- Advanced
- Season
- May to October
-
Southeast Asia
Vietnam's Hai Van Pass, the mountain roads of northern Thailand and the coastal routes of Cambodia are ridden on light machines in dense traffic. Rice terraces, hill tribe villages and street kitchens at the roadside, with heat and monsoon setting the rhythm. Not fast, but the most intense way to see the continent.
- Surface
- Tarmac, narrow mountain roads, heavy traffic
- Demands
- Beginner to advanced
- Season
- November to March

The continent is too diverse and too large. The Himalayas and Central Asia are only rideable from June to September, when high passes are snow-free and steppe tracks are dry. Southeast Asia has its ideal window in European winter, November through March – the dry season.

Booking
Questions about booking
Six to nine months is realistic for the sought-after departures: groups are small and popular dates fill early. Short notice often still works – we check availability directly with the operator and tell you in the enquiry what is still bookable.
The cheapest bookable trip in Asia starts at 2,650 €. Above that, duration, region and inclusions decide – a one-week standard tour sits well below a multi-week trip on a rental machine. The price and what it covers is on every tour page before you book.
Usually accommodation, guide, support vehicle and the inclusions the operator lists. Travel to Asia is normally not part of it on long-haul trips, and neither is fuel, the rental machine or insurance unless explicitly named. The full list is on every tour.
You pick your departure on the tour page and send the booking; we pass it to the operator, who confirms it – only then does the travel contract come into being. Deposit and balance follow the operator's terms and go directly to them, not to Motourismo.
Within Europe often yes; for long-haul destinations a rental machine on site is usually cheaper and far simpler. If you still want to ride your own machine in Asia, we arrange the transport. Every tour description states whether own bike, rental or both is intended.
If a guided trip does not reach its minimum group size by the stated deadline, the operator can cancel. You get payments back or move to another departure – deadlines and the cancellation scale are in the pre-contractual information before you book.
