Cycling upto the top of Chindragiri hill

Last Saturday morning out of blue we decided to cycle upto a hill nearlyby kathmandu. It is the Chandragiri hill near kalanki Kathmandu. It is not a long ride. We planed to reach the top which is 20km or so uphill and then 40 km or so downhill and plane road. I packed small bag with bike tool kit and a sleeping bag lyner just in case if we got to sleep somewhere. View From Chandragiri Top Started at around 9:15 from lalitur. Used some shortcut to reach balkhu, kalanki and to Thankot. Thankot is the point from where we got to catch way uphill. The way was full of dust and the rubble. So it was hard to to uphill. But I decided to paddle all the way up. I shifted my gear to lowest and the started paddling. We had 2 lit of water and few packets of ORS and glucose. Glucose drink while paddling gave us lot of energy to continue. And frequent rest was essential. Took some shortcut on which we got to carry our bike :). Finding a gang of hiker was fun but the occasional vehicles passing through...
