This is one of the best short rides in the valley. It’s a combination of on and off road riding with some challenging down hill sections. We go cross country along the lovely river valley exploring ancient temples and beautiful farming hamlets. The highlight of this ride is an overnight stay at Namobuddha, one of the most popular monasteries in Nepal. Near the end of the trip we will cross a small pass about 1800m above the valley from where you will get the most commanding views. This ride is for the medium to advanced rider.
