Grab some fresh mountain air on this trip along the top of the Kathmandu basin taking mainly paved roads. Kakani is a town 24 km to the north west of Kathmandu on the valley rim which sits at 2070 meters. There are stunning views from here of many Himalayan peaks: Gosaikunda, Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu Himal, Annapurna Himal and Rolwaling Himal can all be seen from this spot on a clear day. The village of Kakani is famous for strawberry and white radish farming and alongside the many cold streams flowing down the hill are local trout farmers.  We then ride on the back road to Budhanilkanta temple to see the sleeping Vishnu. Then back to Kathmandu.
