Two Chinese motorcyclists, Sun Xue and Deng Song reached Beding in Dolakha on Tuesday.

“The bikers felt the need for rest, and thus they will stay in Beding one day more,” said Norman Ni—one of the key members of the campaign according to a press release issued by Advertising Avenues Nepal here on Tuesday.

Another Chinese cyclist Luo Hong Tao will substitute one of the cyclists, Deng Song. They are scheduled to reach Na on Thursday evening. The Chinese bikers began their expedition, Chinese Lifan Motorcylce Himalayan Expedition-2002 on Saturday. They have a mission to set a new world record taking motorcycles to a height of 6,187 metres, breaking the previous record of 6,100 metres.

The motorcyclists will travel through Beding, Na, Tsho, Rolpa, Tashiphuk and summit the beak that falls in Rolwaling himalayan range. The 10 day expedition has been organised with an aim to promote adventure tourism in Nepal, as well as promoting Lifan motorcycles.

Annapurna associates, authorised dealers of the motorcycles are organising the event, while Advertising Avenues is Lifan’s promoter in the campaign.
