We will be visiting the Kathmandu Durbar Square in the morning today. An epitome of cultural and religious diversity Kathmandu Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site adorned with ancient Nepali architecture. With its old temples, architecturally rich encryptions and some renovated areas, Kathmandu Durbar Square surely releases an ambiance of a place that used to be ruled by ancient kings.

This is the day that the incredible experience of this biking journey comes to a start. Ride through twisting and turning roads to Naubise, and continue through smoother road on your Royal Enfield bike to Pokhara.  At first, we will need to negotiate the traffic out of Kathmandu in the section of the ring road at Kalanki. From here, the path to Nagdhunga too is strewn somewhat by rough traffic conditions. From Naubise, the road becomes larger and less populated, and we can easily drive our way through pitch black roads to Kurintar. We continue on a ride to Mugling, from where the highway bifurcates into paths leading to Chitwan and Pokhara. We head west and follow the Marshyangdi River to reach Pokhara.

Pokhara Valley is considered to be one of the most picturesque and revered spots in Nepal. It is rightly called as the lake city due to its abundance of beautiful lakes, the major attraction being the Phewa Lake. These lakes arise from the glaciers of the Annapurna Range.  Lakeside is the district situated along the sides of the Phewa Lake. Phewa Lake reflects back the panorama of the beautiful Dhaulagiri, Macchapucchre, Annapurna peaks and other rising above us. Macchapucchre is only 28 kilometers from Phewa Lake and the views of this beautiful mountain are the most alluring from this point.

Phewa Lake is the second largest lake in the Pokhara Valley. It has been for years, the center of attraction of the valley, with a lot of restaurants and hotels situated alongside it. We can boat around the Phewa Lake and visit the temple situated in its middle. Baidam or the lakeside is the home base for travelers. Watch in awe at the immaculately beautiful mountain scenery that appears before us in the City of Lakes.

It is time to leave behind the extremely beautiful city, and the large Phewa Lake, only to reach the natural hot water springs at Tatopani. The path crosses through unpaved dusty roads through the sides of the Kali Gandaki and Myagdi rivers.

We start off the day with a ride towards Beni, situated approximately 70 kilometers from Pokhara on the Baglung Highway. The picturesque terraced farmlands and the view sod the exotic looking mountains cheer us on as we navigate the traffic out of Pokhara to Beni. We leave the main highway behind at Mal Dhunga and follow a dusty traveled path to the district headquarters of Myagdi District, Beni.

Beni is a wonderful town, situated at the confluence of the Kali Gandaki and Myagdi Rivers. It is the entry point to the Mustang region of Nepal. The bustling town is laden with restaurants, hotels, government offices and stores of all types. The road from this point on becomes a bit harsher, yet exciting. We follow dusty and potholed roads of gravel and cross rivers to ascent through the Kali Gandaki gorge. Kali Gandaki gorge is the deepest one in the world.

A continuous twist and turn later, we arrive at Tatopani. Tatopani derives its name from Nepali words Tato and Pani, meaning hot water. The town is named for the hot water springs that it possesses. Bathe in the hot water springs in order to chase away the pain of aching muscles after a long ride. Use the rest of the day to relax in the premises of the hotel that we stay in.

Today, we will observe a considerable change in vegetation as we reach the revered spot of Muktinath. We start off with an early breakfast and follow the Kali Gandaki River. We cross villages like Thakal and Magar village. We finally reach the beautiful village of Dana, known for the presence of an opulent waterfall. After refreshing our senses in the exotic looking waterfall, we continue further on a steep ascend to Ghasa.

The ride from this point onwards becomes dustier and more difficult. The road leads us to the mystical village of Jomsom, followed by the Thalaki villages Kalopani and Tukuche. Mind boggling views of mountain peaks like Tukuche, Nilgiri, and Dhaulagiri etc. accompany us throughout the day as the vegetation lessens and the road becomes drier.

Gradually acclimatizing with the surrounding and breathing in the views of the mountain peaks glistening all around us, we ride towards roads with apple orchards. The views of the rugged landscapes, cascading waterfalls, roadside villages and the warm and welcoming Thakali inhabitants make today’s journey even more incredible.

Jomsom spreads over both banks of the Kali Gandaki River and is a perfect spot to witness the views of the towering backdrop of the Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri peaks. You can find merchants and local inhabitants going about their daily work there. The awesome splendor of the mountain peaks glistening all around, combined with the mystique of the people living in Jomsom, makes this town a perfect mixture of beauty and splendor.  Jomsom is the gateway to Mustang and is also home to a small airport.

We pass through the High Altitude Mountain Warfare School of the Royal Nepal Army and several schools and restaurants in order to reach the east bank of the Kali Gandaki River. We reach Eklebhatti, a small village and leave it behind to take the right trail to Muktinath. Over our Royal Enfield bikes, we will cross the settlement of Jharkot to reach Muktinath.

In the afternoon, we will utilize our time to breathe in the glory of Muktinath. Muktinath is known as one of the greatest pilgrimage sites for both Hindus and Buddhists and is visited by a huge number of internal tourists every year. Near the Muktinath Temple, lies the Jwala Mai Temple, an attractive pilgrimage spot for Buddhists. We will visit both the temples and marvel upon the burning flame on the water and the views of the mountain peaks all around, and a different vibe to the area altogether.

The strategic location of Muktinath under the Thorong La Pass makes it even better. Hindus call this sacred place the MuktiKshetra meaning the place of salvation. Tibetan Buddhists consider this place to be a place of Dakinis. ChumigGyatsa situated in Muktinath is one of the 24 Tantric places.  After sightseeing around this region of holy and spiritual importance, we descend down to the main bazaar of Muktinath, Ranipauwa.

Time to leave Muktinath behind and drive leisurely down to Kagbeni, the pathway to Upper Mustang. We start off the day with a leisurely breakfast and start off early to reach Kalopani today since the Kaligandaki valley becomes extremely windy during the day; it is good to start off early.

Kagbeni is situated at an altitude of 2840 m and is a medieval village holding a mystical and fascinating quality. The ride from Muktinath to Kagbeni (2800m) follows beautiful barren landscapes. Bare eroded hills, offering a backdrop of snow-capped high peaks offers a perfect looking contrast to our eyes. After crossing the JhongKhola, we ascend to the beautiful village of Jhong. After a simple lunch in the only lodge in the village, we will pass along cliffs eroded by the wind. An array of beautiful colors will pass by before we reach the village of Kagbeni.

Strewn with mud brick houses, dark alleys and the imposing views of sky-high Himalayas, Kagbeni is a beauty on its own. The village stands as a green oasis in the otherwise barren lands and is dominated by a red monastery. The modern amenities that a traveler wants is easily available, however, the village has retained its medieval beauty. The village also boasts a monastery, where the monks of the Gelukpa sect reside.

After spending some time in Kagbeni, we descend down to Jomsom and continue further down to Kalopani via the Marpha Village. Along the sides of the Kali Gandaki, look out for ammonite fossils, called Shilajit in Nepali. From Kagbeni, we continue downwards to reach the village of Thini after crossing a river. Thini is home to a small monastery. After crossing a wooden bridge to Samley, the path takes us to Dumba Lake.
