Easy • Street / Commuter

Riding in and around Pokhara

Most riders start here. The valley gives you sealed roads, easy navigation and plenty of places to stop, which makes it a good first day on an unfamiliar bike.

Phewa Lake in Pokhara, a short motorcycle ride from Hallanchowk

Why start in Pokhara

Our shop is at Hallanchowk, the junction at the end of Lakeside, so you are on Pokhara's best-known roads within minutes of picking up the bike. Sealed roads, short distances and plenty of places to stop make the valley the right place to get used to an unfamiliar motorcycle or scooter before heading into the hills.

Who it suits

  • First-time scooter riders.
  • Riders getting to know a bike before a longer trip.
  • Anyone with half a day and no fixed plan.

Which bike to take

An automatic scooter such as the TVS Ntorq 125 or a relaxed street bike like the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is all you need around town.

Worth knowing

  • Good warm-up ride before heading further out.
  • Traffic is heaviest around lakeside in the evening.
  • Easy to combine with a Sarangkot run the same day.

Road conditions change with landslides, roadworks and weather. Ask us at the shop for a current read on the route.
