After Breakfast, meet the road captain and the rest of the team at the hotel lobby and ride to Jagat. We negotiate the traffic out of Kathmandu city and descend to Naubise, 26km marker (about 17 kilometers from Nagdhunga). We continue riding to Mugling, till we reach Dumre then take a turn for Besisahar and Jagat. The Ride from Besisahar to Jagat (34km/2hrs) is one of the most difficult terrains. The path is a rocky single-lane track with stones and occasional waterfalls. Deep gorges and valleys can be seen on the way as there is a gradual change in the scenery. This is a good trail for adventure and thrill seekers who like to challenge themselves. Motorbiking on this route is one of the most exhilarating experiences one can be a part of as you pass through many notable settlements en route. Overnight at a lodge at Jagat

From Jagat, we will ride out to the valley of Manang. The ride is easy at first and then gets a bit challenging as we move up. As we move forward, we arrive at Pisang village which almost feels like we have time traveled to the past. Beautiful houses and stoned paved paths and the fluttering of many prayer flags glorify the natural beauty of Pisang. There are magnificent views of the Annapurna massif against grasslands where wild horses and cattle graze. There is a gradual change in the landscape as we pass through monasteries and small tea houses that offer basic but good accommodation and homely food. After riding for about 4 hours on a difficult challenging road, we arrive at Manang. Overnight at a lodge at Manang

Today we explore the Manang and ride up to Kangsar which is located at 3745m altitude. We will ride a motorbike up to the Khangsar which takes 40 min. You may also walk around the village and visit the monastery on your own and hike up to Gangapurna Base Camp (3800m) Overnight at lodges at Manang

After breakfast, start the ride by backtracking the same road to Besisahar. The route is rough but is adorned with many waterfalls and natural hot springs and the snaking Marsayangdi River accompanies us throughout. We arrive at Besisahar and continue to Kalimati near Turture. Here we take a right turn via the village of Chisopani and up to the village of Riepe at 1250 m. The gentle dignity of the community of Reipe is the key to their ecological, pastoral, and their self-sufficient way of life. The little village really stands out for awesome views of Mt. Manaslu and the beautiful Annapurna range and for the pure freshness of the air. Overnight at Riepe Village Home Stay at Turture

From the beautiful Riepe Village, we make our way back to Dumre. The mountains disappear as we get back to the lushly forested region. We descend all the way to Dumre, where we join up with the main Kathmandu Pokhara highway. From Dumre we head west following the Marshyangdi River for a while and ride through terraced agricultural lands and small roadside villages. At the outskirts of Pokhara, we are greeted with views of the Annapurna Mountain range including the famous Fish Tail Mountain. Upon arrival at Pokhara check in to the hotel and the rest of the day is free to relax or explore around the lakeside. Overnight at Hotel at Pokhara
