The ridgeline route of the Lake-to-Lake Cycle Circuit of Pokhara starts from Damside-Davis fall (through Shital path road)-Dopahare-Kristi-NirmalPokhari-BharatPokhari-Malagiri and then Lamgadi. From Lamgadi visitors can either continue cycling in cycle lane as they wish towards Tallo Gagangaunda-Rajchautara-Kholakochheue and finally Rupa Lake. But, visitors can return to Damside from Lamgadi through Bagmara road-Dovilla-Mahatgaunda- Birauta and reach Damside if they wish to discontinue cycling.
