NEPAL

SOLUKHUMBU TRAIL

You will have only one idea in mind ... come back!

From  Nov. 1 to  23 November, 2024

This route takes you to the homelands of Dawa. It takes the historic route of the Everest base camp with of course some unforgettable variants. Starting from Jiri to reach Phading before entering Sagarmatha Park, the race follows a path that has been much less used since the creation of Lukla Airfield. Expect to discover a more authentic Nepal and locals happy to meet travelers on this route. The second part of the course will take you into the world of the very high altitude. You will discover another dimension of the race, usually very interior. Do not be fooled then you will have only one idea in mind ... Come back!

Human conditions

This race is above all human, turned towards discovery and meetings. No bag of autonomy to wear, just the bag that often remains light because the trails provide plenty of food at home. Each runner entrusts these matters to his wearer whose load is limited to 15 kg. Attention runners even weighted the best carriers will arrive with the last or will remain to sing with the slowest ... Hello dear traveling and sports friends my organization and foremost remains human. and especially for me what is important is the safety of the teams regardless of the participants or local staff, we share with 2 doctors a hen who is a professional firefighter, a professional cameraman because all who wish to have your photos of your trip? you will have a beautiful book with beautiful pictures. as soon as we are more than 50 people we have one or two physiotherapists who take care of everyone during the stay, you have 3 meals a day with the breakfast accompanied by hot drinks without forgetting the humanitarian projects which are very useful for the youngest and the youngest, thanks to your passage and our organization, it is my way my vision? why I organize these trips. so I would like to be useful where it is useful to be? if not just to do things of personal interest everyone can still do it and will do it forever! Thank you thank you Omanipedme Hung.

A course adapted to walkers

And why not allow spouses, friends ... to share the adventure? Dawa puts in place a route parallel certainly sporting, which allows to accompany the runners during the race. Yet another way to enjoy the spirit of this stay.Welcome to the paths of Sagarmatha ...
