Kathmandu Night Ride
Riding at night in Kathmandu offers a magical and serene experience compared to the hustle and bustle of the day. While the city is typically crowded and full of noise during daylight, night rides provide a peaceful escape. The journey begins with a 3 km ride through the city, followed by a gentle 3 km uphill climb along the jungle-fringed Kathmandu Valley Rim. As riders ascend, they are treated to stunning views of the valley, with city lights creating a tranquil glow over the chaotic urban landscape.
The ride continues on single tracks, surrounded by fresh air and the moon occasionally peeking through rain clouds. The descent is thrilling, weaving through villages before returning to the city. At night, the cool air and calm atmosphere make the ride feel easier, with fewer distractions and a focus on the path illuminated by bike lights.
To conclude the adventure, riders stop at a local momo shop to enjoy the delicious Nepalese dumplings, rounding off an exhilarating and peaceful night ride experience.
