What to do
Drive or cycle 8 km to the Mai Khola gravel bar south of Birtamod — a broad, flat white-gravel river beach with clear water flowing over rounded boulders. Local families spread large picnics on the gravel, children wade in the shallow braids, and vendors sell roasted corn and local snacks on weekends. Best from November to April when water is low and clear.
A 50 km flat cycling circuit from Birtamod following the Mai Khola embankment south to its confluence with the Mechi River, then north along the Mechi border road back to Kakarvitta and home via the Prithvi Highway — almost entirely flat on quiet embankment and border roads, with river scenery on both sides.
