Sailung of Sailung Rural Municipality Dolakha is situated in the eastern piece of Nepal and contact to Doramba Rural Municipality Ramechhap district. Sailung has its highlights and importance which implies 100 slopes together, however as indicated by the nearby inhabitant, there are all the more than 108 slopes together. It's 3150 m high from the ocean level.

The significant attractions of the locale incorporate the way of life and history of Sherpa, Tamang, Gurung, Newar, and other ethnic networks, regular Nepalese towns, and way of life, settlement designs, Agriculture, scene, Himalayan and sloping area local creatures like mountain bovine called Chauri Gai, marsh dairy animals, water wild ox, goat, sheep and so forth. Not just that this locale is encompassed by various species rhododendron woods, oak woodland, pine backwoods, and others such huge numbers of various sorts of vegetation, greenery. This slope is extremely sudden where we can see such a significant number of little slopes together. Also, from the top will have the option to get looks at wonderful perspective on Mt.Gauri Shankar 7134 m, Mt. Dorje Lakpa 6866 m, Mt. Langtang Lirung 7227 m, Mt.

The territory the majority of the individuals are Buddhist and Hindus people group. There are not many essential visitor houses accessible. The locale individual's principal occupation is cultivating. They develop potatoes and vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, carrot and radish and so on. Those all the farming items move from Sailung area to Kathmandu by nearby transports and they sell it in Kathmandu. The area potato is popular in Kathmandu by the name of Mude ko-Alu (Potatoes of Mude).

As indicated by season Sailung has been changing and making a very scene. Without a doubt, winter season falls day off, season sprouts various species rhododendron bloom, Monsoon season filled by green grass and all the district Himalayan local creatures mountain cowshed brings there, the autumn season will offer dry grass and so forth. A large portion of the individuals go to visit either in the Autumn season or Spring season, yet the individuals who like to play with day off, do go there in the winter season for playing day off.

Sailung isn't just sloped. There are such a significant number of verifiable strict and social qualities stone landmarks are, which speaks of stunning importance. Nearby individuals said that "Sailung implies like 108 offers which are utilized by the Buddhists when they supplicate. It's called Thengwa and a few people called asking Mala, as well. It's extremely heavenly spot where individuals can visit and appeal to God for the omnipotent "Another legend is that” Sailung top all the stones head has gone in toward the Western part which implies that these 108 slopes are property of the all-powerful God and Goddess. In this way, an antiquated time the phantom endeavored to have it from the Western part. That is the reason, those all the stones filled in as a military for securing it. So  all the stone head has transformed into the Western part like a weapon."

Sailung top western part is simply stone dividers and Tiger stone called Bagh Dung however in the North part there is the peacock which is known as a Ganesh, in the South part, there is a bovine stone called Gai Dungga and Eastern part there is stone resembles a snake which is called Jure Mahadev Dungga. This Jure Mahadev Dungga is inside the thick pine and rhododendron woodland, as well as the trident, Saileswor temple, footprints of Padamashambha, swords of Hindu deity Bhimsen, the navel of the earth and, can be seen. There is a wide range of exceptionally authentic places around and in the Sailung which takes hours to visit every one of them proceeds. Those all the spots pictures are underneath which can clarify all the more obviously. What's more, this locale is extremely great for national and worldwide the two travelers who might want to do short treks out of Kathmandu valley like for 3 days from Kathmandu ( Bhaktapur - Dhulikhel - Pachkhal - Khadichaur - Mude - Deurali - Dhunge - Kalapani - Sailung ) to back Kathmandu and within two days it can be done by riding different modes of vehicles. Way to Sailung is easy where everyone can easily complete and can enjoy the trip. The road is gravel but if you are planning to travel by different modes of vehicles you can make it but it's a  little difficult. But do not try to plan bike ride during snowfall and the rainy season which full of risk and danger.

Hike (we traveled by bike to Kalapani-2800 m and begins hike from there then end in Khola-kharka-2980 m and vice-versa) to Sailung was planned in the last year when we visited Bethanchowk of Kavre district. We were planning to hike in the exact date as last year's date Feb 2-3 but due to few numbers of friends, we postponed Feb 8-9 with 12 numbers of hike lovers.

Here go my personal experiences ride to Sailung as per days.

Day 1 2020 Feb 8 Bhaktapur - Mude – Kalapani – Kholakharka

I woke early in the morning to pack the bag for departing to Sailung. I was sure that we weren’t departing as per we fixed the time. At 645 AM I moved for Jagati to spend the time instead of meeting at Tachapal. As reaching up there I called RabiG, Sajan, Kevin , and Aashib to know the situations whether everyone has arrived or not and I confirmed that we will not be departing as per our mention time. To the spent time I moved to a tea shop for breakfast I was feeling good to had doughnut after a long time. I was enjoying the doughnut listening to current trending songs “Yenti Yenti” continuously. It was 730 AM which was our mention time to depart but no has still arrived yet and even no one phoned me.I was listening up music even I was roaming around the Jagati. I had to wait about 1 hour to get phoned and to meet up. At exactly 830 AM I was phoned by Binit to meet them up at Jagati bus top.As I meet them Binit provided me a helmet and told me to ride with Avisek. I saw Anu with RabiG, Binit with RabiM, Alish with Rohit and I was with Avisek sharing bike. As I joined Avisek he informed me “don’t worry you are with safest bike riders among us” I was convinced with him and begins our journey recalling last bike ride accidents. We speed up to reach Banepa where we ll be waiting up the rest of the friends. While we were riding I got a phone called from Aashib to know the location where we were at and I inform him we ll be waiting at Banepa. We reached Banepa at 8:45 AM and waited for the rest of the friend but RabiG moved ahead than us so we had to move at Dhulikhel to joined him and wait until unless rest of the friend arrived. This was my second bike ride and I was praying for the safe ride because in the last ride I faced an accident at Kulekhani while returning from Hetauda and luckily I was saved having minor injuries. This was my first experience to wear a helmet I felt so safe wearing a helmet. At 9:30 AM we meet up the rest of the friends Soniya, Sajan, Kevin and, Aashib. We decided to travel making checkpoints to meet up and as per checkpoint first, we stop at Panchpakhal for breakfast.Before we depart from Dhulikhel Kevin request to change his helmet with me. I got a full-size helmet which was making me trouble interacting with Avisek. I was feeling that we were like taking off plane passing through the air making a humming sound and it was occurring due to the road was newly pitched and making us comfortable to ride a bike. I was enjoying the ride but I was not making comfortable for Avisek due to my unusual movement in the bike. He urged me to stay calm and stay fearless. I shook my head and stay quiet and vow to support him. We soon reached Panchakhal where we were having our breakfast. I found everyone was enjoying the moments and everyone was cracking jokes which added much more fun. As tea arrived we served each other’s but RabiM spilled out his tea while picking up NRs 5 notes and everyone just ragged him up which was funnier than our jokes. We spent around 20 minutes and resume our ride making Dolalghat as our second checkpoint to meet up. I was searching Avisek where he was already on the bike to depart from the tea shop. We begin to ride our and still, the road was better which was making comfortable to ride. RabiM and Binit were ahead than us and I felt RabiM driving was making me scared because he used to corner his leg whenever turning arrived. I was wishing to overtake the to rid out off from Rabim's cornering leg while driving in turning road but Avsiek was riding having motto of safe drive so I didn’t disturb him. Riding for an hour we reached Dolalghat around11 AM where we decided to travel maintaining a gap between us. We were traveling using a goggle map and RabiG was insisting to move from Dolalghat but we were unable to found out the way. Therefore we decide to move via Mude which was as per my plan to travel from there. Spending for a few minutes we moved for Khadichar making it our third checking point. RabiM and Binit were waiting for us at the junction of Chautara and Charikot.Avisek was not confirming the way but I was convincing him that I know the way well and request him to drive with calmness. We reached junction where RabiM was waiting for us and while I was going to informed Avisek that this right way moves for Chautara  (headquarters of Sidhupalchowk district) we suddenly got misbalance from the bike and we felt down. This misbalanced can be dreadful if we got it while we were driving but luckily we were at the side of the road. We decided to stop our interaction to get rid out of misbalance and begin our ride but after traveling from the junction we were stopped by police to check licenses and bill blue book. I was recalling RabiM bags which contains his license and which ll make a good presentation for police but the bad news is that Avisek informed me his license was expired and was shocked listening to his words. He told me to stay calm and don’t interrupt while he ll be dealing with police.

Luckily traffic police were so frankly and jolly they just warned and let us move forward. I felt so relieved to move forward but I was sure they ll check us again the next day. Avisek replied we ll applied the same techniques like before which make us huge laughed and motivate to focus on driving. I was enjoying the ride and recalling the traveling through this highway before because in the last travel we were in Scorpio for rafting but this time we were traveling by motorcycle which was different experiences than before. As we begin to see the crowd of vehicles and people we assume that we were at Khadichaur but Avsiek was still unknown whether to move ahead or to cross the bridges. I informed him that if we moved ahead we’ll be reaching Tatopani-Kodari and if we crossed the bridge well be reaching Mude. We crossed the bridge and stopped to wait for remaining friends and it was 1150 AM which shows that we reached Khadichaur within 50 minutes from Dolalghat. We rest for 10 minutes and informed to ride a bike making the gap between us having a safe ride motto. Everyone was enjoying the ride and getting excited to reach sailing which was our destination. I interacted with local people to know the way for Sailung. I was aware of a way to Sailung but the rest of the friends willing to have confirmation about way. Local shop owners informed me about the way which was the same as I willing to go through it. After this everyone confirmed that we ll be moving Sailung via Mude and before that, we were willing to travel via Nepalthok which could be a long way than Mude. At exactly noon we resume our ride making Mude as our fourth checkpoint.Avisek informed me to stay too quiet unless we reached Mude. I was supporting him for a safe ride and we begin to move ahead. The way was uneven gravel as well as pitch which reminds way of Kulekhani where I faced accident due to uneven road. I was recalling the moments when I was on this highway before two years while visiting Kalinchowk. I was wishing for a spectacular view of Rolwaling mountain ranges but the weather was smoggy and cloudy at the side of the mountains. Due to which I was unable to view the mountains and just diminish my excitement because I was wishing to view it and was so surprised to view the smog which blocks the mountains and wishing for a better view from Sailung. Riding for hours makes everyone tired and I found RabiM was playing his guitar at a bus stop which adds happiness but it just lasts for a few minutes because afterward, I ride with RabiM bike. I was feeling uncomfortable with his bike and even the road was uneven dusty gravel. I saw the bus was getting down and I was hoping that we ll pass through it. But expectation fails, Oh my god we felt down in front of the bus in the middle of the road which gives me a shock that I felt that I was dying. Due to shock, I woke up and I just lied down at the side of the road instead of helping RabiM to clear the road. Everyone was having fun from my unusual act but nobody realizes that I might be feeling that I am dead. Two of the bikers approach to me and question whether I am fine or not. I replied him putting off my helmet down. He informed me to ride a bike well and I just shook my head and they move on. I was silent for few then until and unless Avisek came to hold me and joined his bike again and I vow that I might return instead of riding in RabiM bike. Due to shock I just forget what we were doing and where we were going I was quite even reaching Mude. We reached over there around 1 pm and moved to a hotel for our lunch. RabiG was describing my act which makes good laugh for other friends where RabiM consoling that I am fine but my body shivering with fear due to shock. I even forgot that I was wearing a helmet and carrying bag and I put off after being reminded by RabiM. I kept quiet for a few minutes then after I joined with a friend to hang out with them and listen up their experiences till now. Everyone was waiting for lunch but it was taking time to get service so along with RabiM, Sajan we moved to round up the Mude. Walking for a few meters we reached the junction I informed them if we took right we ll reached Charikot (headquarters of Dolkha district) and if we took well reached our destination i.e Sailung (the highest point of Mahabharata Range of Nepal). They were so excited for Sailung as well as for lunch so to get our lunch we returned to our hotel. RabiM was wishing for mutton curry but we order chicken curry he even described ground apple which was new words for me while we retuning the hotel. I request him to show it but he just replied it’s like potatoes but that apple. I was wishing to view it but we were unable to found it. I was not convincing from him because before a few days ago he told me about potato dumpling but he fails to show me. I was not entertained from his words so he urges me to talk with Rohit about it.We close out the topic and moved for the hotel where our pals are waiting for us. Plating was already in the table so we hang up with Sajan, Alish, Rohit for our lunch. We were shocked to view light textures of chicken which makes us surprise because we were looking at curry while it was being cooked. I was wishing for good taste and it meets my desire so I had heavy lunch after getting surplus chicken stock. I was feeling so happy to had delicious lunch which reminds my last trek to Pikey peak trek where we had the very worst chicken ever. After lunch we had rest for 20 minutes then we decide to move on to reach Sailung before dusk. At 230 PM we resume our ride making Kalapani our final checkpoint. The way gravel and uneven which making was it uncomfortable to cope with Avsiek. After riding for 30 minutes I saw the hills covered with snows where the rest might thinking that the telecom tower may be the Sailung. I was feeling so hopeless that we might not view the mountain because smog covers the mountain and was making unable to view the mountains even hills where Charikot lies. I was informing Avisek that we might not have spectacular like Bethanchowk. He consoles me to have hope and move on. The whole way was off-road so everyone was having difficulties to cope with situations. We were riding up hills and down hills which were making difficult to ride due to which we had to get down in order getting free form slipped. We were driving ahead than others due to which we got a chance to view the snow earlier than other friends. At 4 PM we reached Kalapani but we were moving even after crossing Kalapani hoping that there might be a way for Kholakharka. We meet 5 other travelers they suggest getting down to Kalapani for parking bikes and urged to move Sailung by walking. They even informed us that way to Kholakharka adjourns from Dhunge and road condition is not in good condition. We two were in dilemma whether to stayed or to move on while we were getting down the rest of the pals reached toward us so. I order them to get down after describing all the facts told by other travelers. Everyone begins to enjoy the snow where I get down at Kalapani for booking the hotel.

This was our first experience of snow of 2020 before that we had enjoy snow in Bethanchwok and snowfall in our home town Bhaktapur. After an hour they get down to Kalapani where we decided to move onto Kholakharka or stay at Kalapani. Everyone wishes to move on to Kholakharka and at 5 pm we begin our hike. I was not in a fresh mood so to make my mood better Aashib played our favorite south Indians songs. I was walking with Aashib along with Binit playing songs in the boom box. I just felt that life is beautiful when we had a better sound environment but it stays only for a few minutes. We had bone-chilling cold wind which reminds us of Pikey peak trek and surrounding and hiking trails seems like Bethanchowk and Mardi. We were having mixtures of memories while moving to Kholakharka. While moving I saw a group of pals thinking that they might be waiting for us but something was wrong to Avisek.As we approach them I saw Kevin was holding him and asking for a woolen cap. I was enjoying the hike listening to music which makes me forget that I was carrying Avisek bags. Kevin was asking for a woolen cap so I was reminded that the bag which I was carrying might contains it. I check it out and getting the cap I gave to Avsiek to make him wear. As dusk was getting dark we speed up to reach Kholakharka as soon as possible. We were walking downhill in concrete steps. We were surprised not to view a blowing light but we were walking towards the direction where dogs ware barking continuously. It took us about 50 minutes to reach Kholakkharka where was Chyangbaa bajey was surprised to view us because previously we inform that we ll not visiting him. Even though he welcome us but the surroundings were not pleasant toward us because it was getting colder than we expected so everyone was approach towards the oven. We were so shocked to have windy surroundings due to which everyone was getting cold. We order local wine to spent time and after getting it with a single sip of hot wine it burnt my lips which makes me so difficult to cope with other friends while they were sharing their experiences. Dinner was getting ready and everyone was willing to have chicken curry dinner so along with Sajan and Chyangbaa bajey we moved to a cage for choosing the rooster. The weather was having cold windy due to which we were unable to stay out of the hotel so we stayed in the kitchen until and unless we had our dinner. In the oven chicken, the curry was getting cooked which makes us our hunger double than before.

At 830 pm we had our dinner, I was so surprised to view a full bowl of chicken curry because I was never served with a large portion of chicken before wherever we had either lunch or dinner. Along with Kevin, we were enjoying our dinner and I was surprised to view his techniques to separate bone from the meat using a spoon. We had a very delicious dinner which reminds me lunch of Ulleri while we trek to ABC in 2014 where we had heavy lunch ever. I was enjoying dinner which I felt that this was the best moments of this trip. Everyone was happy to see my happiness due to which I found cherish moments within us. After dinner, I decided to move for sleep to wake early in the morning but Rohit stopped to stay for a while and staying for 15 minutes I went to the room for sleep. At the room, I was recalling whole day"s ride till now and after an hour’s Rohit and Alish came for sleep. I was expecting that they would sleep but Rohit begins to share his life moments while songs were begins sing in the next room by the rest of the friends. Rohit was sharing the moments of his valentines and I was confused actually with whom he was frustrated about her. I request him to stop his speech but he was not because he was missing her valentines but I was in a dilemma whether he was acting real or he was in a hangover. He stopped his speech when I stopped to respond to him and we got deep sleep but at mid-night rest of the friend joined us. As the night goes on everyone was snoring where I got loud out a laugh when RabiG was screaming with pain as well he was laughing even though he was sleeping ( maybe he got sleep paralysis).

The night was going on along with windy weather. I felt deep sleep which ends day first experiences.

Day 2 2020 Feb 9 Kholakharka –Sailung - Kalapani – Mude – Bhaktapur

This was the second day of the ride which begins from morning 5 o clock. I woke to view whether it was good weather or not but like before the wind was still on. I walk a few meters but I didn't saw any chance to view the mountains because it was covered with dew and fog. I returned to the room and joined to have slept again. Everyone was still having sleep due to scaring blowing wind. We were failed to view sunrise but along with Aashib, I was imagining that the sun has roses and mountains have shines but it was just imaginations which kept us sleep till 7 am. Everyone woke up to view sunrise but the sun had already risen.Aashib was screaming with excitement because he saw the mountains he called me to joined him. I hurriedly ran towards him but my excitement diminishes when I dint found shining mountain ranges. The surround was reminding me Pothana while trekking toward Mardi Himal where mountain view and location seemed the same as there was.

I was searching for mt Gaurishankar and I was sure it might be blocked by Sailung hills and hoping for clear crystal view of mountains we resume our hike at 730 AM from Kholakharkaa to Sailung. As like yesterday along with Binit and Aashib I was enjoying the South Indian songs which made us full of enjoyment while listening to music. Yesterday we were walking at dusk but today we were walking in the morning due to which we were having differs experiences than before. At 810 AM we reached a view tower where we saw full areas covered with snow. As reaching up there everyone begins to enjoy the moments in their way. I was walking with Kevin to roam the area and I urged him to greet mt Gaurishankar he greets the mountain but dint asked me the reason. I cleared him about greeting mountains because we Nepalese Hindu believes that lords Mahadev reside over there and I even informed him that from this mountain our country time has been set i.e GMT 545 hrs. Previously he was unknown about it and after that, we begin to snap our pictures. As in every trek Anu, Soniya, Rabi Sajan, Binit and Aashib begin to perform their signature dance in “Hariyali songs” then we snapped the same styles poses as we do it in every trek.

We were having cold even we managed to the snap as soon as possible because the wind was blowing in light and coldness was still on. After that, we moved to view tower where we found tower was in heirless which makes us felt bad about. I was not having the same view as we got from Bethanchowk. I was wishing to view clear crystal mountain but we were not having due to unclear and smog towards the side of the mountains. We saw rest if the pals were making TikTok of "Yenti Yenti songs” sings which makes us entertained and had got huge laugh toward them.

Staying for a few minutes we get down from the tower and we even decided to get down to Kalapani. We begin to get down enjoying nature and surrounding walking in the snow. At one point we stopped where RabiG, Sajan, RabiM, Binit and,  Aashib climbed hills to skate from there. I was willing to join them but I found snow is in condensing which might cause difficulty to slip. They skate it’s for thrice which makes fun for the rest of the pals to view their skating act. Everyone was skating in their way where I found Binit skating was quite different than other skaters. He was pushing his own body instead of getting slipped.

We spent here for around 20 minutes and we moved to Kalapani.I was walking with Rohit, Alish, Avisek , Anu, and Soniya. The way was slippery due to frozen snow and this was reminding Bethanchowk trails where we had to crawl to get down. Suddenly Anu felt down and at the same moments, Rohit sang a song which suits while she got felt down. The act makes us laugh for a long period unless Soniya again felt down. Everyone was feeling pity for her but we rest of the friends we were willing to view Anu, getting slipped but she didn’t felt down. We were walking steadily to get rid out of getting slips side beside we were cracking jokes. At 1020 AM we reached Kalapani where we had doughnut and tea along with rest to move on. We were making Mude as our checkpoint where we ll had our lunch. At 11 AM we got ready to move on but before that, we took group pictures for memories. We begin to ride for Mude I was riding with Avisek and today’s I was aware where I should get down to get a slipped free ride. We were moving downhill’s recalling yesterday rides and I found Avisek was confused about the way I console him that I know the way well like before. We were overtaking by RabiM and Binit where they were unseen form our sight within minutes. We thought they might have reached Mude or they might have lost the way. We were moving on our speed and it took about one hour to reach Mude. This is the first time that we reached the checkpoint at once except RabiM and Binit. Everyone met up at the point where the road was being constructed so we back sitters decided to get off for making the easy ride for bikers.

We walked for a few meters then we again ride with bikers to move for Mude. We found RabiM and Binit were at the hotel where we were going to had our lunch. At 1 pm we were at Mude where we were going to have our lunch and as I reached the hotel I move in search of sockets for charging mobile. Avisek interrupts me where I was charging but I refused him and even I informed others not interrupts where I was charging the phone. Plating was already in the table so I moved for lunch joining RabiM, Sajan and Binit table. I had a bite of veggies which I found it tasteless for me. Everyone got their chicken curry but I was not having it. So I was eager to taste the chicken and as like yesterday RabiM wishes for mutton stock. He requests for the owner and replied with cheerful in his face we were served with plenty of stock due to which we add heavy lunch like last night dinner. My excitement diminishes when Anu removes my mobile charger from sockets so we had a discussion and I charge it back when she refuses to charge her mobile. Everyone was blaming me for my unusual reaction but I was not listening instead I stood up to get fresh from the table. I was feeling sorry about that but nobody knows that I have a fast charge draining problem on my mobile and even I didn't inform them. After our lunch we took 30 minutes break during this break we plan for making Khadichaur as our next checkpoint. I was checking my bag to move on and I was provoking Kevin and Rohit to move for Kalinchowk. They were willing to visit but the rest of us did not agree so we decide to ride for Kalinchowk in our next ride. At exactly 2 pm we begin our journey “oh know the way has seemed so worst than yesterday ride. I was informing Avsiek are we in the right track or we mislead the way because we were having so difficult to adjust while we were riding than the day before. I was not feeling comfortable due to which my unwanted movement distracting Avsiek while riding a bike. I was eagerly waiting for a pitch road for a comfortable ride and it took 45 minutes to have pitch road. Like yesterday we were having the pitch and uneven gravel road. We were riding downhill’s to reach Khadichaur which took us 50 minutes to reach over there. We were ahead than the rest of the friends we wait until everyone arrived we had 10 minutes break and resume our ride at 3 pm making Dolalghat as our checkpoint. The way was better which suddenly increases our speed we were riding in the speed of 70-75 mph before that were riding in 40-50 mph. I was feeling like a plane taking off like the day before yesterday when air passes through us the humming sound making me felt like the plane has taken off in the air. Soniya was shooting the ride while we were busy looking at banana farms I thought everyone has recalled me whenever bananas farms arrived. After the ward, everyone begins to drive at high speed which makes it as if we were racing a race. Riding for 45 minutes at one police check there was checking like before.Avisek told me to stay calm but this we didn’t get frankly police like yesterday so we had to pay the fined. This diminishes our excitement and begins to ride in normal speed where rest foe the friends were waiting for us at Dolalghat. Like before we had a break for 10 minutes and make Panchkhaal as our last checkpoint. I was comparing our yesterday and today’s experience where I found Binit was worried that he might get late for his reception where the rest of the pals were exhausted from the ride. They planned to have banana drinks in Panchkhal which was 14 km from Dolalghat. At 4 pm we resume our ride before that along with Avsiek we moved for buying the roasted fish. We were riding last so we decide to ride at a moderate speed but even driving at a moderate speed we met up Kevin and Aashib where I found we were being disturbed by bus for us. We overtake to have a safe ride but still, Kevin and Aashib were having disturbed from the bus. We stopped at a place name called 38 kilos where we were going to have banana drinks. Firstly we stayed in the lobby for having khuwa (dairy products) and after getting it Sajan just attack over it which makes me entertain but he was not sharing others. He left it to the table then only the rest of the pals share each other. Then we moved upstairs to have a banana drink and I was having a banana drink after a long time which tastes so good and I was willing to have it more but we order only as glass. I was enjoying the moment even capturing the pictures of Panchkhal mustard farms.

Sajan and RabiG were allocating the remaining amount of money where Aashib and I moved for clearing the bills. It was time to adjourn with Avisek because he had to reach Kathmandu before dusk so he rides with Binit. He farewell me and then moved ahead than us. I was not in favor to ride with RabiM so Sajan informed to ride with him. At 5 pm we moved for Bhaktapur, while we were riding Sajan begin to share his moments with what he does before while he was riding from Khadichaur-Dolaghat to Panchkhal. He showed me demonstrations  I was just shock and plead Sajan not performed it again because he was riding a bike by standing keeping hand free from bikes handle and even he was dabbing. I request him to ride well but he was the man or we called him to ambush bomb of over-excitement so whenever the road was clear he stood up and show his stun and I felt I was riding with excitement bomb. We were having the safe ride but at one point I was being dropped dry leaves from trees which makes me difficult to open my eyes. I was having tears in my eyes due to the hard drop of leaves but Sajan didn't notice me. I informed him that yesterday  I saw the tails of leopard and he even noticed that so were riding at a slow pace to find out that place but we found board naming “keraghari”.

It might be the best moments to have keraghari along with me for Sajan. He orders me to get down in orders snapping my pictures facing the board. He was having a continuous laugh even I was having too due to which we were having to enjoy full-ride form the place we depart. I felt Sajan bike was quite heavier than Aviske bikes and he even inform it is heavier bike than others but his balancing qualities making me convinced that we were having a safe ride. We reached Dhulikhel at 530 pm so he asked advised whether we should meet the patient or not I strongly agreed to meet her so that she might get well soon. At Banepa we called her but she didn’t pick up our phone so we decided to move ahead. As we were having excessive vehicles form Dhulikhel so Sajan was riding with safe mode and at Bhaisipati my sight stuck over the jeep which contains 3 fairs lady and before I asked with Sajan he told what a beautiful girl. I replied are they dummy or real girls because I  was not having clear sight due to pain from the dropped leaves. We approach them so I  confirmed that there were real girls. We were riding slowly to view them which making fun for us but I suggest Sajan move ahead so that we can reach home as soon as possible. Sajan shook his head and moved faster and stopped until we reach the petrol pump. We are on the verge to end our ride as we reached Jagati I told him to drop me at home. At 555 pm I get down from the bike and before we depart we called Aashib so that Sajan could meet him up. He moved to Tachapal for meeting the rest of the friend and from there we adjourn.

Overall I found this ride full of enjoyment and safe ride but due to lack of views of mountains, I was still not satisfied because of unclear smoggy weather. This shows that still, Bethanchowk's view was better than views from Sailung. We came to conclude that if the road would be in better conditions it might be a comfortable journey for everyone willing to reach over there.         

With joy, naughty jokes, ragging and petty arguments with each other are this how we end up our ride to Sailung following the motto of a safe ride. This was our first trip to the "Visit Nepal 2020" campaign and still more to go on.
