What could be better than running through the Annapurnas or Mustang? Running through both! This is our DREAM TRIP! Conjured in our minds and piecing together some of our most loved regions of the Himalayas - and because we're runners, we get to cover a lot of ground.
Come get high with us ♥
The Journey
Starting in lower mustang, we'll have a solid acclimatisation before ascending higher to the transcendental altitudes of Upper Mustang, bordering Tibet and drenched with Tibetan culture. Seriously sweet running trails, high-altitude deserts and a euphoric finish, flying over Thorung La! - THE ultimate pass of the Annapurnas at 5500m - to finish in the very special village of Manang, and a jeep party back to Kathmandu.
This tour is giving heart palpitations. It’s a prototype tour in 2027, so high altitude & high adventure with a lower price tag and you’ll be the first!
