I have been to Nagarkot hundreds of times but every time the town offers a different charm. A small hilltop town 30 km from Kathmandu, Nepal offers the spectacular view of the mountains and of the valley. On 18th August 2016, we decided to take the alternative route to this beautiful town. This route offers the view of the residing villages and is rugged. Since it takes one and half hour ride from Kathmandu to Nagarkot, we started our trip after lunch. We got on our Royal Enfield and took off. The alternate off road ride to Nagarkot is not graveled and is a bit rugged. The road is narrower and passes through many villages around Kathmandu. The trip begins with lush greenery of Sankhu. The road is perfect for the Royal Enfield ride, where we could enjoy the nature rather than going straight from the main road and look at the concrete structures. The best part about a bike ride is feeling the air on your face and able to stop wherever we want to click pictures. Whenever I wanted to take a picture or talk to locals, we would stop our bike. From Sanku, we reached to Lapsiphedi. The road till here is not that bad and the ride is smooth. Since Nagarkot resides on top of the hill, the roads now start to twist and twine and there are more greenery and trees surrounding us. The best part of any travel is the journey. After Jaharsin-Pauwa, the road starts to get rough and we switch our adventure mode on. Along the way, we can see many tourists hiking along the way. (The route is famous for hiking from Sundari-Chispani-Nagarkot. The hiking takes 5-6 hour to reach Chisapani(Day1) where hikers start their trip from Sundarijal and reach Chispani
