Nepal - A bikers heaven?
 

Hey all, Well I just got into Nepal about a week ago and I have fallen in love with the place. Beautiful roads, people and scenery. I have written a blog post on a few of the rides I have taken in the past week but here is a bit of a sample to wet your appetite:

My pace increased and I was soon slicing through corner after corner of the most intense road ever built. There is no rest up, no breather or moment to comprehend. It is fear inducing, heart pumping cornering goodness in all its simple glory. Corner after corner after corner, head down, jump on the brakes, tyres screaming! A push on the bars forces the bike over, head inches from mountain walls and oblivion but you see nothing just the black of the road. Midway through the corner you eye up the next one, pick your line and accelerate out. Within an instant your flipping the bike to upright and even before you're vertical you're on the brakes again. Pushing harder into each corner, scrapping pegs Left! Right! Tighter! Faster! Each time on the gas earlier and the brakes later begging the bike into upright and then pushing it to the ground. Every heartbeat is slowed, every hour a hundred and nothing at all. With your soul flying and tears streaming down your face you scream soundlessly into the wind. A scream of hysteria, blood-lust and chase.

I take it you can actually buy petrol there now?

After waiting 1/2 day to get a single fill up, I pushed on to India but would have loved to have seen more of the place.

Yeah petrol is no problem at the moment but it is swings and roundabouts and all depends on the tourists as well as other issues.

During high season you'll be stuck because so many more taxis and motorbikes are needing petrol, plus people run generators more often. When were you here? I've had 1 month of uninterrupted fuel so far and plan to stay for 1 more month!

Wallet gone. The bikers heaven has turned into a mini nightmare! Had my debit card in there as well. Usually leave it at the hotel but had it in my wallet as I needed to pay 1000 pounds to my mum after she Western Unioned money out to me the last time my wallet got stolen.

I am so lucky I am 25k km away from her, she'd kill me if she could reach me!

Thats bad news man, but how many times have you had your wallet stolen??

Great story and beautiful pictures.
Did travel a small part of your trip end 2008 and memorys are coming back. :):)
Enjoy!

Just twice, that's not so bad is it? First time I was backpacking at the time (it was after my argument with a truck) and they pinched it as I was getting on a bus. Lost everything. Money, a lot of cards, friends contact details etc. Second time was drunk in a pub and yeah, good story! :P

problem after the first time things really got messed up and it took 2 months to get the card sent out to me, then 2 weeks after getting it (and not using it) I lose it again!

So yeah all good.

Ride safe,
