14 Day Itinerary
Day 1 Kathmandu 1400m
Welcome to Nepal! Home of the fierce Gurkhas, uncountable temples and stupas made with awe-inspiring craftsmanship and the most diverse country on the planet in terms of its flora, fauna and its peoples. The birth of the capital was by the great saint Manjushree’s sword named Chandrahar (moon derider). He drained the lake known as the ‘Abode of the Serpents’ which lay in Kathmandu Valley by cleaving the valley in two thus creating fertile land fit for human habitation…
Once you arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport we will pick you up directly from the airport and transfer you to your hotel. There will be a briefing in the evening over dinner so we are ready for the next day’s ride out of Kathmandu.
Accommodation: Hotel
Day 2 Nagarkot 2000m
We take a short ride on mixed terrain, familiarising ourselves with the Nepali riding style and leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind.
