Itinerary description

Solo motorcycle ride from Katmandu to Ghorka.

The road was quite busy with trucks indeed but nothing really beyond what i would expect. Some construction here and there. And some bad driving especially bad overtaking.

Occasionally I was able to go above around 70 for few stretches, but most it the time belle 50.

Trucks traffic started to be bit more once the road start to go up and down. First 20km from Katmandu was very smooth.
Amount if trucks later significantly dropped about 50km away from Katmandu.

Conditions were quite bad.
First half of my ride was in strong haze, air was very bad and dust from the road was making it even worst. Second hals of my ride was in the rain.
