THE COURSE:
The course will be made up of mostly single track technical trails together with dirt jeep track roads through mountain villages with a mixture of stunning mountain backdrops. The location is kept confidential until the evening before each day, where maps are given out for the next day in keeping with the Action Asia tradition of adventure and expecting the unexpected. Hikers and runners will be at an elevation of around 2500m with a high point approaching 3100m and thereafter immediately dropping back to 2000m. Like any hiking in the Himalayas, one should build up a level of fitness adequate to sustain full days of hiking or running. The course is designed by Michael Maddess (Race Director) who, as one of the most experienced and respected race directors in Asia has organised over 290 events with Action Asia Events. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience the wonders of Nepal in a stage race setting as few have before!
