Niraj went top of the hill Nagarkot-revolutionary Freedom Ride (Motorcycle Diary)


Today is Saturday, Wandering to go somewhere for refreshment…I really need that for killing my shallow. I call to my friends for their company but they all are busy. No one get time for me. Then I decide to go alone..I took my camera, Bag and of course my super bike. And journey beyond the tensions…
“Dil kya kaheta hai mera kya main batau,Tum yeh samjhoge sayed mai pagal hu,Dil chahata hai TV tower mai chadjau,Chillah-Chillah ke mai yeh sabse kahedu,Rock on…yeh wakt ka Isara,Rock on…har lamha pukara,Rock on…uhi dekhta hai kya tu?,Rock on…Zindagi na milegi dubara..” Banging my head (Rock On..) with this music from my Mobile and i’m driving too……..Feels like doing something revolutionary for freedom...

I am sitting in little piece of heaven right now. I’m in nearly Nagarkot now, It’s about a 2 hour bike ride from the town and I was so tired..I stopped my bike and having a cup of tea in small road side little cottage restaurant but I’m not alone right now, I have some memory from the past. One day someone has tea with me in this small road side cottage restaurant. After half an hour I’m here in the world’s little piece of heaven called Nagarkot.. I captured some heavenly beautiful pictures in my camera..May be that would be best picture of my collection. After clicking some picture I went for some wine and snacks at Hotel…..There is another guest couple at the hotel from New Zealand and they are talking about….umm….oopsh sorry I don’t understand their language but I understand that they are spending the night in Nagarkot tonight.
I’m thinking it’s probably the altitude. I am sitting in the most beautiful place right now on the roof of the hotel. If I look to the left I can see the snow capped peaks of the Everest Range (not Everest itself though), the rest of the view is of rolling mountains with villages and field cut out of the hillside. The sky is blue without a cloud to be found and the sun nice warm; there is just enough cool air moving to keep me very comfortable in a black t-shirt and tight jeans pants –it’s the perfect temperature.The hotel is really great. It’s very rustic – reminds me very much of Yellow Point with its very basic and comfortable chair. The hotel staffs are really wonderful – they advertise 5 star service and they really do provide it. A couple of hot water bottles in my table to warm it up before you retire – they are still warm till I leave – not sure how that is.I chose to go back home. Coz I have been missing extremely something….something that I don’t want to remember, something which never be mine, something back set on my bike, something beside me…I finished my bottle of wine and  I paid my bills and start my bike to go back home trip, but it’s been a little more challenging here in back from Nagarkot. Coz I’m drunk and feeling wild. I have a great memory in the past at Nagarkot that can be hard now, and seen through the memory reamains, Sunset here is an awesome sight. If the weather is good, I’ve been thinking quite a lot this evening about my trip, I guess because it is quickly coming to an end. It has really been a trip of a lifetime freedom ride.


Nepal is quite a country and I’m so glad I have had the opportunity to see a small portion of it. I definitely hope to return again. It is so different than home and in some respects makes me incredibly grateful for what I have and in other ways, makes me wonder if we all wouldn’t be happier if we didn’t have so much.
You could never be bored in way of Nagarkot; but you have someone with you. It’s the beautiful hillside place I have ever been and life happens before your eyes and right on the side of the road!!!!
Nagarkot road trip is a wonderful trip; I have really enjoyed my few lovely moments here and would love to come back soon again. It’s not my though...
I heard someone in the road side cafe in Nagarkot said today, “Comparing India and Nepal is like comparing your girlfriend to your wife”.
