Cycling The Tribhuvan Highway Part 1
Really short day today distance wise, but it was still nearly 5 hours of peddling uphill!
As suspected it was all uphill and by the looks of it, tomorrow will be even worse!
To get to Kathmandu from Hetauda there are two routes one is 220km which by any margin is a long way round or there’s a more direct route which is only 70km but apparently it’s more like riding off road as the road surface is none existent! And there’s a climb of at least 2000 metres! Maybe I’ll wait until the morning and see how I feel, I’ll also see if there are any vehicles heading up the short route!
Spent most of the afternoon in my hotel room updating the website, until about 4 then went out for a shave and to have a look around.
I’m reminded a bit of China with the little food stalls on the street corners selling chicken pieces on skewers, it certainly tastes as good!

Hey Garry! That looked tough and dusty. I can’t believe you’re in Nepal. Those lorries must be a pain.
It was very dusty, no wonder I have a bad chest!
