Itinerary description
|
In this competitive free race, riders will have to travel 373 km. in 11 stages through the zone of the UTNA, high and low Dolpo with an average altitude of about 4200m., to feel at this time of the year possible temperatures that hover around -20º and + 28º, and save a cumulative positive difference of 17,286 m . and negative of 15.589 m.
They will be forced to descend by deep depressions, to cross riverbeds by highlands, to cross numerous passages of mountain where the 5550m of Niwar will be reached, to cross frozen rivers without bridges, to tread footpaths with different aggressive pavements, to skirt precipices with risk of falling in them , ... All this in a mountain environment in the state of the purest that in the mountains of Nepal we can find.
The hard region located to the north of the central massif of the Himalayas, "north-west of the Dhaulagiri", makes this place stand in time, an arid area in height, where the view is lost in horizons full of mountains, without leaving also to give us the satisfaction of visiting wooded places and to be able to contemplate something as wonderful as the Phoksundo lake with its intense turquoise blue color, dazzling and unchanged with the passage of time.
The hostility of the terrain makes survival hard, this limits the presence of villages, all of Tibetan culture that in this region have lasted since the beginning. The hardness of these lands cures its inhabitants with values of distrust and makes them little hospitable. This does not make them better or worse than others, just cautious in their decisions. As a result, riders will experience strong sensations for which they must be prepared.
