Himalayan Run & Trek “Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race” has time and again been described as the most spectacular running course in the world! During the race, views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga (4 out of 5 of the world’s highest peaks) are visible to runners. Regardless of your level of ability – whether a 10K specialist, marathoner, or ultramarathon runner – you can run at your own pace. There are no age limits or stage cutoff times and the support teams will be available until you have finished. Five daily stages of 24, 20, 26, 13, 17 miles are designed to create a tough challenge but don't be put off by those distances, this is a challenge that is accesible and achievable to all. Alternating running and walking, you can easily take in mountain views, catch a glimpse of National Park wildlife and chat with villagers at fully stocked aid stations every few miles along the route. This event was first held in 1991 and pandemic aside, it's been attracting runners from around the world every year since.

The hotels in Delhi are 4-star western standard, the sherpa huts and mountain lodges are comfortable but basic and in some cases you will be using sleeping bags but remember that you running in a remote mountain area that is sparsely populated.
