Day 6

Date: 01-12-2016

Route: Pokhrang to Dharan

Distance: 166 Km

Return journey from unknown path are easier than onward journey. As I was aware of road conditions, distance etc. , I felt a bit relaxed. I completed the return journey of 75 Kms in 4 hours and reached Basantapur at 12:30 PM from where the good road begins. I had a check up of my bike and washing at Dhankuta and reached Dharan at 5:00 PM. Took a hotel and had some hard drink with “sekuwa” (nepali style tandoori chicken) for the first time during the trip to celebrate my successful completion of my first leg of Nepal trip. The hotel manager gave me the company. Some pics of the day..

 Back to chainpur... looked for the policeman who helped me... but was off duty again..
