Pride Rides
Your guide gives a formal introduction to start your leisurely tour. After meeting your guide in the heart of Kathmandu, select the safety gear and mountain bike you’ll need for your half-day excursion. After that, get on your bike and ride to Chobar Village with your knowledgeable guide. A timeless community nestled on the verdant hillsides above the Chobar Valley, dotted with historic stone structures. This gorge is said to have been formed when Manjushree Bodhisattva used his powerful sword to cut through the hills. By doing this, the Kathmandu Valley was created, and the primordial lake was emptied. A suspension bridge spans the gorge in this place. The Bagmati River is below, where cremations and ablutions are occasionally carried out.
After leaving Chobar, we go on to Kirtipur, a historic settlement that is among the oldest in the Kathmandu Valley. With the Himalayas in the distance and a ridgetop location, Kirtipur exudes a timeless charm that captivates guests. The town is home to a large number of weavers. You may hear the clank of a loom or see colored strands dangling from a window. A tour of the area will also allow you to see Kirtipur’s historic handicrafts, architecture, and temples. The city is home to the Newari people, who formerly called Nepal’s historic cities like Kathmandu home. The Newari people are renowned for their genuine cuisine and their proficiency in enthralling crafts like woodworking, ceramics, and other artistic endeavors.
You will definitely need to spend some time here replenishing your energies after driving. It’s time to satisfy your hunger with delectable cuisine from a real restaurant. Eat using your fingers while sitting on straws to show respect for the regional culinary customs. Your guide will drive you back to Kathmandu following a break. Though the cycling may have ended, the memories will never fade.
