Overview:

Single Tree is located 3 Kms northwest from Swyambhunath Temple. We will have Stage Race #1 start from the Powna Home premises located at Single Tree and will shortly connect it with the Manjushree Race Trail. After just a kilometer run, we will start a continuous uphill climb of distance about 4.5 Km in which we will gain about 900 meters elevation. Since we will enter the Nagarjun National Park to reach the of top Jamacho Gumba Peak, there will be no shops available so please carry at least 2 liters of water from the start line. Checkpoint 1 (CP1) too might not be completely ready by the time you reach there due to some strict rules of the National Park. Once you make it to the top to Jamacho Peak CP1 you will have a beautiful view of the Kathmandu Valley down below and a majestic morning view of the Himalayas in the horizon. And now a long downhill forest run will be waiting for you until you reach CP2 at Mudkhu. After CP2 a few km will be very exposed to the sun and there are few steep climbs as well. Once you cross CP3 at Tarekeshwar Temple, you will enter Shivapuri National Park and will be running through the dense forest again. And now before reaching Gurjey Bhanjyang you will have to follow the marking on the highway road till Gurjey Bhyanjang View Resort (CP4) which will be our Final Finishing Venue. Gurjey Bhyanjang View Resort is a really cool place to hangout with friends and family with a nice outdoor vibe. Our Medal Ceremony for the Stage Race #1 will be held here. After that we will have our transportation ready to take us back to Kathmandu.
