Planning a Nepal ride in Dec 2018:
1. I'll be riding in from Nagpur, and plan to start riding early every day of the trip. How is the fog situation in December in MP/UP sections; areas such as Jhansi/Kanpur/Lucknow/Gorakhpur/Darbhanga?
2. Any safety concerns apart from the usual i should have in the UP/Bihar sections?
3. I plan to enter Nepal with my bike from Sonauli-Bhairawa crossing, spend about 9-10 days in Nepal and exit via a border crossing near Janakpur-Jayanagar to get to Darbhanga(India) then join the highway(NH27) back to Gorakhpur. Can anyone tell me which is best border crossing to India near Janakpur/Jayanagar and if possible the road conditions from Janakpur - Jayanagar and Jayanagar - Darbhanga?
4. I plan to ride to Muktinath (Lower Mustang Valley) and rent a bike for this section from Pokhara. Is there a reliable place to rent bikes in Pokhara, any idea on prices? Also how are weather conditions in the Mustang valley area and in December in terms of Rain/Snow/Fog?
5. In the 9-10 days I have in Nepal which other places would you suggest to visit? As of now I plan for Pokhara(lake, temples), Lumbini, Muktinath, Janakpur, KTM(Square, temples). I know it wont even cover 20% of the places but are there place that would be better than these?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
If there is anyone who knows someone local who could help, that would be great as well.
