Post Report
KATHMANDU, Dec 28 – A group of 21
Australian motorcycle enthusiasts, including several ladies, will arrive in the capital
Saturday for a string of adventurous activities in the country, the Australian Embassy
said in its press release issued on Friday.
According to the release, Sydney-based tour
operator Ferris Wheels Motorcycle Safaris will bring the riders, all mounted on classic
500cc Enfield motorcycles, for New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The group is riding across Nepal, from the
eastern border to the west. The group upon their arrival in the capital will indulge in a
scenic joyflight to Mt. Everest and participate in the world’s highest bungee jump at
the Last Resort over the Bhote Koshi river.
"Australians have been staunch advocates
of Nepal as an exciting tourist destination," the release quoted group leader Mike
Ferris as saying. "And this is our way of showing that we still feel that way,
despite the recent tragedies both inside and outside Nepal."
It was also stated that the group will be
welcomed on their arrival at an informal function at the Australian Embassy.
