Kathmandu Valley Cycling Tour

Trip Price

Per Person

Total Duration:1 Day

Destination:Nepal

Trip Grade:Easy

Cycling Tour is a great way to explore the Kathmandu Valley in a single day. The valley offers a day tour for all levels of riders. The ride offers us an opportunity to get along with the local culture and tradition of the Kathmandu Valley. Kathmandu Valley is filled with ancient temples, shrines and historical sites. Through this tour, we will be able to explore the rich culture, tradition and lifestyle of the valley and its people.

Our tour starts with a cycling trip to Chobhar which is located some 9 kilometres south of Kathmandu. This place is also called the Chobhar Cave which is also the third-largest cave in Asia. An ancient tale or as we can say a mythical legend revolves around the place. It is believed that goddess Manjushree cut a gorge to drain away from the water and establish a habitable land in the Kathmandu Valley. We will visit the top of a hill to visit the temple of Adinath Lokeshwor Mandir sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. The temple is dedicated to red Machhendranath and is believed to ensure a happy marriage when utensils are fixed to its walls. Another temple we will visit is the Jal Binayak Temple, one of the four important Ganesh shrines of the Kathmandu Valley. Both temples offer great landscapes views of the valley. We will then pedal towards the town of Kirtipur, one of the five municipalities of the valley. The town contains ancient style narrow streets and houses with old shrines and temples in every corner. We will be able to explore the culture, tradition and lifestyle of the local Newars through this tour.

Recommendations for Yatra

Trip insurance is important documents. Touch Kailash Travels and tours do not need your insurance policy for permit and visa confirmation. it is only for your secure and immergency. make sure your insurance cover travelling up to 5600 miter altitude and cover Emmergency rescue and Medical bills.  

Oxygen level is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induces certain illness generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness [malaise], high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are a few. It is common to all irrespective of the age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided. Some of symptoms indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environments. The best idea is deliberately slow down all the activities and follows the following rules:

  • Rest.
  • Relax-do not exert, be excited.
  • Reduce talking.
  • Walk slowly – adopt one third of your speed and space.
  • Keep your load light.
  • Walk for 15 minutes and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just stop; rest and relax.
  • Ignore the sudden outbursts of fellow pilgrims and avoid arguments.
  • Observe silence with smile.
  • Never go too high and too fast.
  • Consume plenty of liquids; never proceed with an empty stomach.
  • Chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts or put on the earphones and listen to your favourite music, bhajans, chanting etc.
  • Be careful not to catch a cold. It is better to be over clothed than under protected. En-route avoids taking bath or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers, as your system is not conditioned for this.
  • Keep your boots/Ked inside tent. Protect yourself against dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected.
  • The uneven ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Do not combine walking and sight seeing together.
  • Always listen to your guide or the one with experience. Never leave the group.
  • On this trip, over exertion is to be avoided and drinking plenty of fluids is recommendable. During winter, heavy warm clothing is a must.

 

  • Kindly consult your doctor and get yourself examined for this yatra
