Does anyone have any hints/tips for places to ride to in Nepal?

I spoke to the guys at Eagle Exports (and if you're reading this, I'll drop in again, I just got sick!) and they said heading east wasn't worth it, not much to see in the plains, and the whole everest region is foot traffic only. And again in the north west, not much there either.

I have a three month visa, so time isn't an issue. My current list of places in rough route order are:
- Baktapur
- The friendship bridge to china and the valleys along the way
- Dunche/Langtang?
- Daman
- Chitwan
- Pokhara
- Jomsom, maybe further into Mustang if I can, the fee seems high though
- Bardia

From the above I'm still not sure where I can actually ride, the maps here mostly show trekking routes and that may cover up the road underneath.

So far I've ruled out heading too far east from Kathmandu, from what I hear and read there's not too much of interest out that way that I can get to, but am I missing anything by doing that? And when heading west from Pokhara I'll probably stick to the main highway and enter into India somewhere near Bardia or the western border.

Because I've been sick all I've seen is Thamel and the Airport so I've no idea what to expect outside of Kathmandu. I'm waiting for my Indian visa so I don't have to come back to this horrible city again

Also, Insurance? Anything I can get here that will cover India too? Can't find much info regarding this. I was going to go to Royal International Motorcycle and ask around there too but haven't felt well enough to stray too far from the facilities.

Also also, anyone else in Nepal?
