Riding Out to Bhaktapur
| We hired bikes in Kathmandu and took them
all over. We also headed out on an overnight trip to the rim of the Kathmandu Valley.
Somehow we seemed to spend a lot of our biking time with maps out, asking directions! |

We were heading to a placed called
Bhaktapur
which promised good early morning views of the Himalayas.
The first part of the ride was great - meandering along the valley. Of course climbing out of the valley was not that much fun. |
| We rode through lots of these little settlements and at each one were chased by young boys. Quite embarrassing that was - when the hills got really steep they could run faster than I could ride! | 
|
|
I seem to remember doing a lot of this too! |
| It was worth it though, the views were stunning, never mind the mountains, the valley itself is worth seeing. | 
|
|
I didn't think that we had ridden that far. |
