We will ride to ‘Trishuli’ via ‘Gurge Bhanjyang’. The ride is quite difficult due to the climbing section to ‘Gurge Bhanyang’ form ‘Jhor’ waterfall. On the clear weather day we see Himalayas from ‘Gurge Bhanjying’, After that the ride is downhill and mostly flat. In the downhill you need to be slow as the road is narrow. After you reach the base which is ‘Chhahare’ the trail is mostly flat and little uphill till ‘Trishuli’. We will then head to’ Nuwakot Durbar’ with is ascending ie uphill on the pine wood forest. We visit Nuwakot Durbar (old king palace) and return back to ‘Trishuli Bazar’ to have night halt. It is quite hotter weather in ‘Trishuli’ than that in ‘Kathmandu’.

 

Today ride is climbing uphill all the way to ‘Samari’ and downhill and flat section also comes. Almost uphill is equidistance to downhill. Nearby ‘Bhote Padera’ the steep downhill is nice but need to be very careful in downhill. We need to ride slow and cautiously. Today is bit easier than yesterday. Towards the end of our trip to dam of ‘Netrawati’ called ‘Bhajo’ is it quite flat. Depends on your luck otherwise you can have fish from the same river. Fried fish or rice with fish curry is yummy.

Todays’s ride is the easiest ride. Our ride is by the side of ‘Netrawati river’ (Aankhu Khola). The trees are half along the way. We meet ‘Kahare’ where we can stop for tea, and we come across the biggest plateaus of ‘Dhading bazaa’r. By the lunch time you will reach ‘Aarughat’ and explore the market (bazar). It used to be the oldest market area of that region. You can hear the sound of ‘Budi Gandagki’ and gives you sound sleep. ‘Budhi Gandagki’ river divides ‘Dhanding’ and ‘Gorkha’. So, we have option of staying on both sides.

Todays ride is nice ride as the biking route is steady uphill but for sure there is interspersed with some downhill and flat sections too. Today most of the uphill is ride able. Or, we always have option of stretching our legs and push the mountain bike. If we make up at reach ‘Gorkha Bazar’ market on time, we can explore ‘Gorkha Durbar’ by walk. As we gain altitude it is quite cool in the morning and evening.

If we had not gone to explore the ‘Gorkha Durbar palace’ we can pay a visit it before we head to ‘Lamjung’. On clear weather day we can see Himalayas from ‘Gorkha Durbar’. As we begin the ride with downhill we must be careful and ride slow and cautiously. Flat and uphill is also common today. Towards the end we have uphill and end the day.

Today our ride is a mixture of steady uphill and flat. We also ride to an orange farm. After riding for a few hours, we need to climb uphill, before descending downhill to reach ‘Begnas Lake’. At ‘Begnas Lake’ we can stay and relax here for the rest of the day, to make the trip easier, or we could ride the remainder of the way to Pokhara.
