A gap is not a fact. It means we looked and found no source.

• Web search budget ran out before this route; all facts come from pages opened directly.
• The exact daily customs charge for a motorcycle was not found; the embassy page gives only a range for all vehicles.
• Nepal's Department of Customs site was not opened; the vehicle rules are as stated by the Embassy of India.
• Documents asked for at the border for the vehicle (registration, licence, insurance) are not listed on the embassy page.
• Documents for Indian citizens crossing by land are not stated on the embassy page, which covers air travel.
• Whether Muktinath and Kagbeni fall outside the restricted wards was not confirmed from an official map; the rule records the wards as listed.
• Whether Indian citizens need the Upper Mustang permit, and at what fee, was not found.
• No source found on any local vehicle fee or check post rule for motorcycles in Mustang.
• No dated source found for landslides or closures on the Beni to Jomsom road.
• The highway number beyond Pokhara (NH48, Kali Gandaki corridor) comes from a separate Wikipedia article.
• Usual number of days not sourced.
• The tourism board's travel updates page was too large to open; the immigration department's site returned a certificate error.
• Videos not collected.
• Some stretch distances are doubtful. The open map may not know the road riders use, so the routing service went the long way round.
