Nepal embodies the very

definition of the words

extreme and diverse. Home

to the great Himalayas and

8 of the world’s top 10

highest mountains, giant

glaciers, subtropical forests,

and sweeping arid deserts.

It is the birthplace of Buddha

and the fiercest fighting

spirit of the Gurkha soldier.

This race is not about fastest

times. It is about a journey

across a spectacular

landscape. It is about the

people and culture and

Nepali hospitality.

It is about cheering

children calling out Namaste

(I bow to the Divine in you)

as you cycle by.

It is about the closeness of

sharing the day with

your support and crew.

It is about community.

But never forget. This race is

seriously extreme.

Nothing in Nepal is flat!

HimalayanXtri is proud to be an

official partner race in

the XTRI World Tour
