The Experience
“You sure you’ve never done this before?” our guide grinned at me, handing over the helmet. I could smell a bit of petrol and dust in the air, mixed with that green, earthy scent you only get near forests after rain. We started right by Pokhara Lakeside — honestly, I was nervous but also kind of buzzing. The engine rumbled under me as we learned the basics (I stalled once or twice — nobody seemed to mind). Li, our guide, kept things light and made us laugh when he tried to teach us a Nepali phrase for “let’s go” — I still can’t pronounce it.
The trail up Sarangkot hill is wild — not scary, just bumpy enough to make you feel alive. You get these flashes of Fewa Lake through the trees that almost don’t look real. Sometimes it’s quiet except for birds and the crunch of tires on gravel; other times you hear distant voices from tiny hillside farms. We stopped halfway for photos at this spot where the whole valley opens up below you. My hands were shaking a little (from excitement? nerves?), but I remember thinking how blue the lake looked from up there.
Lunch was simple but hit the spot — dal bhat and sweet milky tea on a terrace overlooking everything. There’s something about eating outside after riding for an hour that makes food taste better, you know? On the way down, I felt more confident — even caught myself grinning like a kid when we splashed through a puddle. The whole thing took maybe two hours but felt longer in a good way. I still think about that view sometimes when I’m back home in traffic.
