Marpha 2,670m. A beautiful stone lined village and the apple capital of the nation.
Marijuana growing in the wild
Riding over suspension bridges was exhilarating and scary all at the same time.
Tatopani 1,190 m. Where a hot spring is situated scenically next to the riverbed
Beni. Upon reaching Beni, I was delighted to have completed the trip, but sad to be packing the bikes and starting the journey back to Pokhara.
Sarangkot. Just when I was feeling slightly wistful about the epic MTB experience, the jeep stopped somewhere along the way and the guys started preparing the bikes. I obviously didn’t receive the memo, eh? Turned out there was still one last hurrah (steep uphill ride, fun bumpy downhill) before we ended our bike trip and back to the lakeside.
The Porridge Team: Porridge Power, One and A Half Hour. (our take on the ‘Dal Bhat Power 24 Hour’ expression LOL)
The best company one could ever hope for! Amazing riders --- incredibly supportive, wonderfully fun and extremely patient (rode at my own pace and they didn’t make me feel the need to ‘keep up’) I am grateful to have shared this fantastic trip with these guys.
