bro i'm also planing to go DHaraN trip in bike...its got so long way but we can do it better if u guys were goin in group...Aeron bro had already been Dharan in bike many times so u can ask more information from him before going to Dharan by byk...anyway u most do full servicing before u going for Dharan...

Riding Gear:
Good quality riding gear is important as you're going to be in it for a while so you may as well be as warm, dry, comfortable and safe as possible.

Helmet:
Its not easy to tell you what brand of helmet to buy as different lids suit different noggins (and even different bikes - fairing/windshield design).  Naturally it's there to protect your gourd but it also needs to be comfortable for long periods of time.  It's also important that it's quiet, that you can take it on and off easily and you can get your glasses/sunglasses on easily if necessary.

Jacket/Pants:
Once again comfort is king but safety also comes into it.  You need to be comfortable on the bike in the position that you're going to be spending most of your time in.  You don't want the jacket riding up to expose your back to the cold wind or the armour in your gear to move to the incorrect position and be uncomfortable.  Zip-out liners to take the chill off are also great and pockets for your doo-dads come in handy.
Some argue over the merits of leather versus textile with leather coming out on top for injury protection in the event of the unthinkable but it is a lot heavier and generally less comfortable.  Most textile garment come with built-in armour but if this isn't enough to ease your mind then you can also buy back braces and other protection devices to wear underneath the gear.
Weather protection is obviously important on a big ride - you do not want to get soaked to the bone and catch hypothermia.

Gloves:
Gloves probably wear out quicker than any other bit of gear you're wearing so it pays to look after them as much as possible and replace them when they get a bit tired - the first thing you're gonna do in an off is stick your hands out...


The Bike:
If you're going to be racking up some serious miles on your bike then you are going to want it to be reliable for you and not break down in the middle of nowhere.Other than that, the following list may be helpful:

Tyres: your life depends on these sticking you to the road so they must be in good nick and at the correct pressure.  Unless you're on a lazy tour where you can afford to stop for new tyres then they need to have enough tread on them to get you home safely and for encountering any sort of weather and road surface.

Brakes: while the bikes being serviced get the shop to check that you've plenty of pad material there for the trip.

Lights: hopefully they'll all working...

Chain: correctly adjusted and lubricated.

Oil level: check it even if the shop have done an oil change - they often do not top it up after the first fill and don't necessarily allow for what goes into the filter.  Check for leaks around the filter and sump bung.

Gear:
Once again this is going to be keeping you warm, dry and safe so it needs to be looked after.  Leather needs to be clean and protected with wax or dubbin and textile gear should be cleaned and waterproofed.  Helmet visors need to be clean and scratch free.

great....m too planning to go there between dashain and tihar....well for your trip the first thing to keep on mind is the condition of your bike...the whole stuff....performance...tyre.....brakes....head lights and other lights....
the another main thing would be the helmet and the riding gears and basic tool kits....

all the best for ya trip bro...
safe ride...
