Today is purely for a deeper dive into the hearts of Kathmandu. On two wheels or four, you will take on its iconic sites. Begin at Swayambhunath, the Monkey Temple, where prayer flags dance in the breeze and stunning views of the valley await. Then ride into the heart of the city to Pashupatinath, Nepal’s most revered temple of Shiva, where ancient rites performed by the banks of the Bagmati impart history to Nepal’s spiritual life.

The day rolls on with the Boudhanath Stupa, a Buddhist shrine filled with the resounding chants of monks and the steady whirring of prayer wheels. As the sun sinks below the horizon, kick back and relax, enchanting yourself with upcoming fun rides.

Time to hit the road! Leaving the city behind, you will wind your way along the picturesque countryside roads toward Namobuddha, one of the most revered Buddhist places in Nepal. According to legend, this is where a gentle prince once offered himself to a starving tigress; this story forms a profound aura around the monastery. Breathe in the calmness for a bit before carrying on riding through verdant hills and winding roads toward Nagarkot, a hilltop paradise famed for breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the Himalayas. In the evening, bask in warm comfort as the peaks glow under the golden light.

Wake up early to watch one of the most splendid sunrises Nepal has to offer. After breakfast, rev your motorbike and head off the beaten path toward charming Balthali, a rice-growing village interspersed among terraced fields and lush forests. The ride takes you through quaint villages where life roams slow-farmers doing their crops, children waving excitedly, and traditional houses against the backdrop of rolling hills. By the eve, settle down in a tranquil oasis, far off from city boisterousness, where only the occasional whispers of nature keep you company.

You’ll Refuel with a rich local breakfast, then it is time to hit the loop back to Kathmandu amid scenic landscapes. The ride through Lankuri Bhanjyang is an off-the-beaten-path gem characterized by meandering roads, pine tree-lined valleys, and the distant view of snow-capped peaks. This would be the last good tray to feed your memory all the beautiful sights of the rural landscape of Nepal before your return to the lively streets of Kathmandu. After getting back into the city later on, relish one last evening celebrating the journey by reconvening with cozy cafes, live music in Thamel, and a plate of authentic momos to mark the conclusion of this great adventure.
