Next April, the legendary Dawa Dachhiri Sherpa is organising a 12 stage trail race from Kathmandu, passing Gosaikund on the Langtang/Helambu circuit, heading west through Tamang Heritage Trail country and then onto the Manaslu Circuit Trekking route proper.
The tea-house just below the larkya La at 4460m
The route crosses passes including 4600m Laurebina La and the 5135m Larkya La close to the world’s 8th highest peak – Manaslu. The route begins at the famous Bodnath Stupa in Bouddha Kathmandu. Participants can expect an average daily race length of 34km with about 1000m climb.
This should be a great experience for all participants as it passes through many relatively untrekked areas. Also great to begin directly in Kathmandu starting at Boudha.
