There is a huge playground above us in the Himalayas and as trail runners we want to run it every time we are heading there. Walking and flat terrain is too boring for us. And we guess there are a few more people who are on the same page.
We have created these adventures to share our playground with trail-running minded people who want to see experience the epic places of Himalayas in Nepal. Lighter and faster than the regular trekking tours.
It might give you some challenging moments, but you are going to meet wonderful people and will have a great time in the Himalayan mountains.
