We then go uphill southwards on jeeps trail throughout jungles to the village called Champi and Lele.

Continuing north, we descend to Chapagaon village which offers excellent views of Kathmandu Valley. Chapagaon is home to the Vajra Varahi, the boar incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Ancient woodland surrounds the temple, protected by the local belief that to cut even one tree would greatly anger the deity. The villagers still appease the wrathful Vishnu by weekly sacrifices of chicken, goat, and buffalo.

After lunch we continue along the jeep track to the southern end of the valley, reaching the foot of Bishanku Narayan temple. We then cycle clockwise round this heavily forested knoll, where it is said by folklore that the land is fertilised by Bhasamur’s ashes. Here we head towards east on single track to join a tarmac road passing through the village of Lubhu , known for its handmade cloth. We stay in the lodge here, near the Farm House.

After spending sometime exploring this ancient city, we head northeast on tarmac road passing lush rice fields the base of Nagarkot where we join a steep jeep track. We climb to a narrow ridge where there are some great single-track rides. The track brings us to the temple complex of Changu Narayan where, in the sixth and seventh centuries, Newari stone masons made beautiful carvings to Lord Vishnu. The stone tablet standing on the West Side of the temple is said to be the earliest known inscription in Kathmandu Valley. It depicts King Mandev’s military conquests in the fifth century. From here we descend the North side of the ridge along a jeep track to the Manohara River. Crossing the river can be tricky depending on the monsoon rains.

We have lunch once reaching the other side of the river and then continue north to the village of Sankhu and the Bajra Yogini (a Tantric goddess) temple complex, lined with old water tanks, rest house and a vermilion-powdered and blood adorned triangular stone where animal sacrifice are still practiced.
