Places for Mountain Biking near Kathmandu

Nepal is not only place of ancient architecture, natural beauties and people with primitive lifestyle and tradition. But also, it is a place full of adventures and tours for travelers. The below are some cycling routes in Nepal which you most experience if you love mountain bike riding which are based in my opinion.

1. Thankot – Dahachowk 

To go Thankot, first you have to go Kalanki and after that the route starts to Dahachowk which takes around one and half hours time. Dahachowk is a tiny village on the top of a small hill that lies to the west of Kathmandu. You will not see any mountainous view from their but a unrivaled landscapes . If you want to go another place at same time, than you can go for Ichangu Narayan which takes nearly a hour and than it ends with famous Stupa Swoyambhu which is also known as Monkey Temple which is named by foreigners.

2. Chobar - Champadevi

The Chobar hill is situated in south of kathmandu and about 6km far away and it takes about 25 mins to go over there in mountain bikes from kathmandu. From Chobar village, you can go to Bansbari in around 20 mins and you have to ride for around 2 hours in the forest to reach Champa Devi and from their you can see whole Mountain range of Mount Everest. And while returning back to kathmandu, you can find option to get back. One way is Pikhel and another one is Pharping. You can come back to kathmandu from anyway.

3. Kathmandu - Nagarkot

At an altitude of 2150m Nagarkot, which is about 30 km far away from kathmandu, Nagarkot is  one of the best place for riders both intermediate and pro, best time to visit, especially in spring and autumn because in those seasons we can find the best landscape in its best. And  while talking about the route, As I am from Baneshwor, I have to go Koteshwor and Suryavinayak and need to reach Kamalvinayak and from their Its about 15km to reach Nagarkot and everyone should try sunrise view from the view tower.

4. Satdobato  (Patan) - Lakure Bhanjyan

Its about 30km long trial from Satdobato to Lakure Bhanjyan. You need to go to Lubhu from Satdobato and it is about 6km and from Lubhu, you need to go straight hill to Lakure Bhanjyan. And From top of that, You can enjoy a beautiful sunrise, Mountainous range and also snow capped mountain too.

Hope You will Enjoy...
