The participants will tour on bikes through Kathmandu-Hetauda-Chitwan-Lumbini-Palpa-Pokhara.     

On the occasion, the bike tour is an opportunity to make Nepal known at the international level, he said. Similarly, Achyut Guragain, member of the tourism committee, said the bike tour is a powerful way to promote the tourism sector.     

As part of the tour, the team of bike riders started their ride from Kathmandu and visited the Makawanpur Gadhi Durbar, a tourist spot in Makawanpur. On the occasion, Bakhansingh Pakhrin, chair of Makawanpur Gadhi Rural Municipality-2, expressed the hope that the bike tour would help in promoting the country's important tourist destinations and giving a positive message about tourism at the international level.
