Pokhara-Hetuada-Daman-KTM

(Day 5) Pokhara-Hetuada

I started my day with a nice Meal and a nice Lake view

Tibetian Bread

Then i went to the Bullet Base camp In Pokhara city to get some repair on front fork
It was really a pain in the neck riding this Enfield . It was falling apart . It sounded like it was going to break in to thousand pieces when
I going fast...........er

After I got out of Pokhara , I decided to go to back to Kathmandu but taking a detour via Chittawan and Tribhuvan Highway
I was going to do it all in one day but the Enfield wouldn't go faster and the road was horrible . So i decided to stay in Hetuada ,a town to the south of Kathmandu.

Back in Chittawan area again , I spend a night in Hetauda and got bitten by thousand of mosquito

Day 6 Hetauda to Kathamandu
Riding via Tribhuvan Highway , the oldest highway of Nepal 's highways . WOW!
On this road , people say you can see a range of Himalayas from a little town called Daman which is half way between
Hetauda and Kathmandu.

It was cloudy still ,I kept my eyes open for Himalayas,wishing that I might see a full range of Himal .

Day (-1) Before starting the trip
I rented a Bajaj Pulsa 150 to ride around Kathmandu just to get use to the traffic before setting off or a longer ride

Yes Kudos to You Mate! The Kiwis were on the Honda CT110. These are called Postie Bikes in NZ and Australia as the Postal Service uses them for Delivering Mail. They were well used by Farmers over the last 20 or 30 Years and have changed little since. Started out as a 90ccc then upgraded to the 110cc. Ultra Reliable and very Tough!!! Those Guys had obviously modified their Bikes for the Journey with an Extra Fuel Tank added in the normal position as the standard tank is under the seat like the Dreams here.
Cheap way to Travel and I bet a lot of fun, so long as everyone is on the Same Bikes it really doesn't matter what they are! Top Stuff.

Looks like you had a great time Art.
Maybe your next trip could be a postie bike ride around Aus
Using the ubiquitous (in Aus) postie bike as an adventure bike is not so unusual and there's a mob in Brisbane who specialise in them.
