Cycling - 02-April - 2011



We originally planned our cycling as "destination Chisapani".  This not the first time we talked about it's possibilities, but since we being hearing it to be a Night stay, we have been keeping it for later. But after Abay's bike tour there, with his encouragement we said go ahead.

Looked over the web for Chisapani, put status on social networks about the tour, No matter how hard it be, or due time restrain we may have to return from the way, but we were determined to go. However, after special request from Sanjay (who will be back this Sunday at 8 pm :) ) and Prabil (due to busy schedule couldn't join us) not to go there without them .. we have decided to alter our path and without cancelling it, since Riwaj & Rasuj has cancelled their picnics, Saurav didn't join the rafting .. It wouldn't be nice to cancel the cycling plan .. ..

Avay's asked to write down the old cycling dairies, reminds me of how it started, which began with Sanjay wanting to go Dakchinkali, others wanted a picnic or a tour. and I was against bike ride..... Hence, we(Avay, Sanjay and Me)settled and Our cycling tours began.... 

Reminds of Friends who could join us this time, due to various reasons:
Across the borderSanjay, Wangdu, Tashi, Isha, Nirajan (our cycle hero, who left for Aus before our cycling tours began) .......We miss u Guyz and While are on Cycling we miss u More !! 
Frends that couldn't be join due to lack of time: Prabil, Gaurav, Jen, Manjil, Anish (Don't miss the Chisapani)
Guyz who might have felt not right last time: Samyam,  Nipu, Nare, Monish ..... :(
Bg Frens who hardly meet nowdayz :Dinesh, Alok, Pravesh, Krishna .... :(

Planning for Chisapani

As i go through the Web searching for information about Chisapani ..

Google Maps:
Chisapani on the Top

CHISAPANI
Grade: Difficult Distance: 55 km Departs: Daily

The ride to Chisapani is a true mountain bikers trail with a steep off road climb that will challenge the fittest of riders. Climb up through typical Tamang villages and over grazing land. Steeply terraced corn fields line the trail. Follow a small river along its course and through the jungle and wet lands before re joining a rugged jeep track. Chisapani is a simple village that marks the entrance to Langtang and Helambhu Trekking. The tea houses are simple but he views are incredible. The second day is a downhill romp through the jungle back to Kathmandu.


As we don't plan to stay their overnight and we are not professionals but beginners ... It's really gonna be tough
