It is based at Godawari & Lele Valley. Use your current location for navigation; as a planning reference, it is about 16 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square.

A 60 km mixed-surface cycling loop from Kathmandu along the Godawari road, through the Botanical Garden to the Phulchoki foothills, then south on a quiet back-road through Tika Bhairab and Lele valley to Chapagaun, and back via Bungamati and Khokana. Mostly gentle with one short climb; passes through ancient Newar villages almost entirely untouched by tourism.
