I think you are setting yourself up for lots of problems. Officially, carnets are required by Pakistan and Iran. There were only 2 trains a month from Quetta to the border when I was there in 2007.
If the bike is not reg'd in your name then get ready for more hassles. You will need a paper authorising you to ride it.
Yes, Nepali reg will make it easier, but you will probably have to sell your bike in India and buy another in Nepal. Apparently, you can register and obtain a carnet there. Perhaps you can buy just a frame with papers and swap the frame = Nepali bike.
You don't need a carnet for China and I have no idea what can or cannot be organised from within. Remember, if you cross from Nepal you are entering "Tibet Autonomous Region", an area in permanent lockdown, requiring more paperwork = more $$$$.
Registering the bike back home may not be possible, requiring possibly another frame swap.
