Highlights
- Get off the beaten track - we are experts at finding alternative trails (and sometimes just going cross country)
- Travel without porter or pack animal support. Seriously, there is no need to do this - the lodges have blankets and good food. Travel quick and light!
- Move at your own pace - you can run when you want or just power hike all day long. We've got you covered.
- Let us handle the logistics, we've led a lot of trail runners down crazy (and not so crazy) trails in Nepal - we know what we are doing!
- Cross massive valley systems using three passes (Renjo La, Chola and Kongma La)
- And yes, you can walk to Everest Base Camp and climb Kalapatther if the spirit moves you.
