Nepal - Fuel
My friends and I are going to traverse Nepal from west to east in a months time on Enfield Himalayans. Any advice on whether extra fuel is needed or is it readily available from villages? We're taking the mountain roads.
cheers

I never had trouble finding fuel when I was there ( Aug/Sept 2015 )other than due to fuel shortages as a result of blockades / lack of supply from India. I haven't heard anything lately about problems. As to weather you need to carry extra? I didn't travelling 2 up on a 350 Enfield. Filled up when ever I had the chance, those things run for ever on a tank full ! Even in the remote villages you can find fuel somewhere for sale in plastic bottles. Many times I turned down fuel which was red thinking its was diesel, I was petrol when I sniffed it, felt like a right tit

I'm just back the Annapurna area and we had no problem. Only one petrol station was empty, but villages always seemed to have a ready, albeit expensive, supply.

It depends where are you travelling in Nepal ?
If you can't find any fuel station, local have some stock of fuel for sale but price is little higher than the original price of fuel in the market.
Thanks
