Magical Nepal with the white peaks of the Himalayas.
Nepal a must on the bucket list to have ridden.
It begins upon arrival in the capital, Kathmandu. A wonderfully chaotic city with lots of sights, which is why we spent another day here upon arrival. But actually you need several days to see everything. In particular, the Monkey Temple, Durbar Square and the funeral pyres at Pashupatinath temple must be seen.
On the way we have a special overnight in Chitwan on the edge ofChitwan National Park. This vast National Park of no less than 952km2 goes far into northern India and has lots of wild life.
But you will also be impressed by the birthplace of THE BUDDHA 2,600 years ago in Lumbini.
Nepal is mountainous with many unpaved ( mountain ) roads, even the main road is an adventurous challenge. But the days to the Lower Mustang of over 3,700 meters you will never forget. An impressive mountain range with magical views at every turn, not to mention the often unpaved roads that complete this adventure.
The overnight stay here in Kagbeni is one of historical rarity. We spend the night in a 500-year-old monastery, a breathtaking prayer room with a huge Buddha, but the whole village is historic. A short walk through the narrow alleys where literally century old carved stones lie on the ground.
NAMASTE!
