Quick answer
It is based at Lakuri Bhanjyang. Use your current location for navigation; as a planning reference, it is about 20 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square. Plan for 5 hours of activity time, with 55 min of total journey time from that reference point where route data is available, and hard difficulty.
Jeep up to the Lakuri Bhanjyang pass, then ride the South Valley Descent — loose stone switchbacks down through Tika Bhairab and Lele village to the valley floor. The singletrack through the Pharsang ridge section is the best sustained downhill in the southern Kathmandu Valley.
