Itinerary description
Nice ride with an extended closure to add some more km
I am not sure we could cross Purbachal road from the usual road anymore, the way out followed for this track might be the preferred option in the future. In fact, a tunnel under Purbachal is being built and that would secure a safe passage in the future.
From my point of view, the most interesting part of this track is the riding on the embankment (the starting point is signaled by a waypoint). The last 25 km are also interesting but cut through a somehow densely populated area. The fun in this part mainly consist in steps and technical passages to overcome, included a single bamboo-bridge, given that environment is somehow largely contaminated.
In conclusion, interesting ride with different terrains/sceneries, offering the option to shorten the ride as it pass very near Balu river crossing point after approximately 57 km.
