Adventure seekers have flown in the skies over Annapurnas in Pokhara, they have challenged the rapids of raging Seti River and they also have enjoyed the natural wonders in and around Pokhara. A small tourist town 200km west of Kathmandu is always in the mood to cater something very exciting to travelers across the world.
While entertaining travelers and adventurers with half a dozen of aerial adventures, excitingly soothing water adventures and mild cultural explorations, Pokhara also has been hosting incredibly interesting triathlon event. Himalayan Rush, the introducers of Triathlon Event in Nepal organize Triathlon event in Pokhara every year since 2012 during the month of March, which is the beginning of tourist season in Nepal.
The event in the first year had only local participants. Gradually the kind of adventures like swimming in natural water, pedaling along the challenging uphill and downhill rugged terrains and running across the locals’ footprints it caters- the Triathlon in Pokhara is gaining popularity in a light speed and becoming a racing destination for triathletes across the world.
Standard Triathlon in Pokhara begins with the 1.5 km swim across beautiful Begnas Lake that holds the amazing backdrop of MT. Fishtail and Annapurna. Then 40 km of cycling journey that at times becomes very challenging as it caters almost 1100m of elevation gain. So does 10 km of running, which also gains the elevation of 300m. Basically, the event begins with uphill ride or run in the beginning and ends with the downhill ride or run in the latter half.
Apart from Standard Triathlon, the organizers also host Sprint Triathlon, which comprises half the distances of Standard triathlon in all activities. Duathlon skips the swimming part and caters 40km cycling and 10 running challenge. Team Relay covering the total distance of triathlon and 5km marathon are also activities the event hosts.
So travelers if you are a good athlete and you want to give a try swimming in Nepal’s sparkling lake water, pedaling across tough geography and running along the narrow local trails – join the incredible triathlon event in Pokhara that begins on 26th March this year.
Apr 2023 I had an incredible experience trekking to Everest Base Camp with Explore Himalaya. Our guides were absolutely amazing. They provided us with exceptional support and guidance throughout the journey. The porters deserve special recognition too for their hard work and dedication. The entire journey was filled with breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences. From the start until the conclusion , every moment was filled with awe and wonder. I highly recommend Explore Himalaya for anyone seeking an unforgettable trekking experience in the Himalayas. Thank you to all the the staff, for making our journey truly exceptional!
13 Day Manaslu Circuit Trek Nov 2018 We have just returned to Kathmandu after a wonderful trek around the Manaslu circuit, starting in Soti Khola and finishing in Jaget. The trek and transport out and back to Kathmandu were very well organized. Our guide, Bharet Rana was excellent, arranging our tea-house accomodation and meals each day, without hitch. He was always good humoured and provided an interesting commentary on sights along the way.
Our Everest Base Camp trek was a wonderful and memorable one. Everything was very well organised. Thank you Explore Himalaya and the staffs for such an excellent service. We were taken care of from the moment we landed in Ktm till the day we left. The Guides and the Porters team of Explore Himalaya are very friendly and helpful. They took care of every little things during our trek. Some walked faster, some slowly and few could not but No one was left behind. They walk with your pace and motivates you until you get up. Anuj Pandey, MD of Explore Himalaya was available 24 hours a day when anybody was in need, he even flew to Namche to check if everything was going well and if everybody was doing good. The Guides Bibek Pandey, Bhuwan Tamang and Ram Rajbhandari along with their 5 Porters were the main pillars who made our mission accomplished. I'd highly recommend anybody who wants to travel to Nepal to contact Explore Himalaya and get themselves spoilt and entertained with their excellent service.
