About Stage 1
Stage 1 was a relatively short course at just 27 kilometers, although it immediately put competitors to the test with steep climbs. The course followed the famed Mardi Khola River, which supplies most of the water to the Pohkara Valley. Competitors started the day on a jeep road heading through a village, before veering up a trail to a pass and the second checkpoint at an elevation of 1,783 meters.
Then, it was down into the valley, dropping 1,258 meters in the descent.
…
The checkpoint was located by the village of Birethanti and offered sight of the majestic snowy peaks of Annapurna South and Fishtail Mountain.
About Stage 2
Tomorrow’s course, named ‘Bridges, Valleys and Mountain Views’ will take competitors along a 32-kilometer route along a porter trail on the side of the Modi Khola Valley. There will be significant elevation gains early on in the day, and a more gentle descent to the second campsite close to Naya Pool.
