Today is a thrilling and exhausting day as we have to drive a long way to Dhap. Despite of the long drive, we will have the opportunity to feast our eyes with the incredible landscape and beautiful Sunkoshi River valley. The serpentine like road to Dhap offers the opportunity to experience true culture closely as we pass through Mulkot Mirror Wall (mirrors offered to Goddess Seti Devi Mata for a safe journey) and Okhaldhunga. We will stay the night in a local tea house in Dhap.

You will start your day with a downhill on a beautiful under construction jeep road that passes through incredible rhododendron forest. As you you reach Sigane, the stunning views of the Numbur Himal forms an incredible back-drop to the amazingly beautiful landscape. You will continue your ride after having a small tea break at Sigane and tackle a short steep climb before rolling down to get to the final destination of the day at Jhapre. Jhapre is a small village which hosts a small stupa with the views of Numbur Himal and Everest. You will be staying the night at a small tea house which serves local food to satisfy your hunger.

Wake up early in the morning to cherish the sun showering the Everest and Numbur Himal with its golden rays. Our day begins with an intense climb through the rhododendron forest which in reward offers an incredible 360 degree view of the valley and the mountain ranges. As we continue further along the grassy ridge we will reach Bhulbhule where we will make a pit stop to soak in the beauty of the Himalayan range with a sip of tea or coffee or maybe the lunch. As we leave Bhulbhule, we will start to head towards Pikey Base Camp tackling the ups and downs of Taklung Danda which unveils ancient mane wall and yak huts along the way to Base Camp. Keep in mind! There are some sections where you will need to push or carry the bike to reach Pikey Base Camp.

Here comes the day that you dreamt for! Get up early, tie your shoe lace, gear up and be ready to carry the bike to Pikey Peak Summit covered in prayer flags before the sun rises. As you get to the top you will be mesmerized by the grandeur of Himalayan range from Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu, and Everest to Kanchanjunga.  After having enough time to feast your eyes with the beauty of the Himalayas, get on the bike to roll down to Jasmane Bhanjyang through beautiful single trail to enjoy the well-earned breakfast.

After few runs that last until noon, we will get back to Phaplu, munch our lunch and pack our things to get ready for next day’s drive back to Kathmandu.

Today marks an end to our mountain bike adventure as we prepare to drive back to Kathmandu. The early drive from Phaplu to Kathmandu will be very long more likely 8 to 10 hours depending on the volume of traffic along the way. We will be driving the same way back that we took earlier to Dhap.  Upon arrival in the crowded town of Thamel, you will check in the hotel and have some rest. Later in the evening, we will gather for a final farewell dinner and bid a reluctant good bye with the hope meet in near future.
