Lele Valley Getting there & around

Getting there & away

There are a couple of route options to consider if you are making a bike trip to the valley. The main road south of Chapagaon splits and offers two ways of getting to the Lele Valley, or more importantly a loop option for a return trip of around 12km. The only downer is that the main (western) branch sees lots of truck traffic heading to a quarry behind the Tika Bhairab.

A more adventurous mountain-bike option would be to continue from the Tika Bhairab to the far end of Lele village (4km) and then climb northeast along a dirt track to a forested pass above the lovely upper Lele Valley, then descend the slippery single track to Badhikhel (8km from Lele). Continue north from here and you'll quickly meet the Chapagaon-Godavari track; a left turn will take you back to Chapagaon for a total 16km loop. A right will take you on to Godavari.
