The Enfield Rendezvous & Poker Run gets ready for its 11th glorious year
"BE A PART OF THE BIGGEST THUNDER RIDE EVER"
Started with the participation of 22 riders in 2009, the Enfield Rendezvous & Poker Run today is the biggest motorcycling event in Nepal.
This annual event, the first of its kind in Nepal, is organized by Sacred Summits (P) Ltd for the Royal Enfield and classic bike enthusiasts to come together and share the tales about the riding experiences.
It is a non-competitive motorcycle riding event that is put together for the celebration of the Nepali New Year with fellow Enfield riders.
The local and international Enfield riders of all ages, with their spouses, friends get together and share 2- 3 days of long rides through the beautiful terrains and mountains of Nepal.
The participants will also get to try their luck with a poker game as well, but it's not played traditionally.
During the ride, the riders will be dealt one card at each stop including the beginning point.
At the final destination whoever has the highest cards is announced the winner.
For the 11th edition of the Enfield Poker Run, magnificent Pokhara has been selected as the destination and will take place from 11th to 15th April.
The final date to register for the ride is the 10th of April. Visit their Facebook page for more info about registration:Enfield Rendezvous & Poker Run
The registration fee is Rs 13,000 for Nepali citizens, INR 8,500 for Indian citizens, and the US $ 130 for international participants.
It is also an opportunity to show off the bikes to compete for the "Best Enfield (Original Design)" and the "Best Customized Enfield Motorcycle" awards.
There will also be prizes for the "Best Supporting Woman Rider", "Longest Distance Rider", "Senior Citizen's Award" and "Hard Luck Award".
Mr. Rabi Thapa and Mr.Stewart Mc Lean started the first-ever Enfield Poker Run to pay homage to the memories of a dear friend late Binod Chettri who was a passionate Enfield Rider.
It had been a precious dream of Mr. Binod to bring the international 'poker run' event to Nepal.

For Mr. Rabi Thapa and the whole Sacred Summit team, this event is more about the brotherhood and symphony of camaraderie amongst the riders than the poker game, fancy hotels, or exciting locations.
In view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, all the health and safety regulations will be strictly implied for the safety of everyone involved.
Previously organized with a maximum of 400 riders, however this year in respect to covid health regulation the number of participants has been limited to only 150.
Khukri Rum is the title sponsor of this event and Kavach Gears and Hard Hat are the safety partners, ensuring and encouraging the safety measures for bike riders.
This event is supported by Nepal Tourism Board and Pokhara Tourism Council in an effort to kick start the paralyzed tourism sector in the last year.
