Biking Around the Katmandu Valley rim

Balaju – Kakani
The route to kakani (alt 1982 m) branches off at Balaju bypass. It is a slow and easy ascent to this hill resort 23 km northwest of Katmandu. The trip offers a magnificent view of Ganesh Himal along with the fresh and serene atmosphere of the hills.

Bhaktapur – Daman
Bhaktapur (12 km east of Katmandu ) to Banepa (14 km From Bhaktapur ), a historical town on the way to Tibet , is terrific for mountain biking .From Banepa we can take a side- trip south to Panauti (7 km )or east to Dhulikhel (6 km ).An interesting circuit is Banepa to Dhulikhel(6km ) to Namara (7 km ) to Panauti (8 Km ) To Banepa (7 k m )

Katmandu- Daman
The 75 km stretch up to Daman on the Tribhuvan Highway has been described as the best bike ride in Nepal.Untill the bypass through Mugling opened about two decades ago, this was the only road to India The good news for bikers is that there is very little traffic on the Highway now. The road spirals up and down endless hills and passes through broad valleys and small villages. Exit the Katmandu valley at Thankot (10 km west of Katmandu) and on the Naubise (25 km) where the road forks. Turn left to Tistung (59 km) and on to Palung (65 km) and finally Daman (altitude 2400 m). There is a view tower here which offers an incredible 400-km panorama of the Himalaya extending from Annapurna to Everest. The bike ride to Daman takes all day.

Katmandu – Kodari
The 114-km highway linking Katmandu with Kodari on the Chinese border follows the ancient trade route to Lasha.Known as Araniko Highway, this spectacular road leads east past Bhaktapur, Banepa,Dhulikhel and Dolalghat and then turns north following the course of the Sunkoshi and Bhotekoshi rivers. Picturesque villages and tranquil terraced fields against a backdrop of green hills are the scenic rewards on the trail. The trip takes four days up and down .Overnight at Dhulikhle or Barhabise (88 km from Katmandu) and Tatopani (3 km Before Kodari) where the hot springs are an added attraction.
