Timeline

Considered to be one of the toughest races in the world, Hero MTB Himalaya is not for the faint hearted.

A race that takes the riders through the untouched parts of the Himalayas, bustling towns and villages, across streams – all set amidst the beauty of the mighty Himalayas.

With a total elevation gain of almost 50,000 feet in the previous edition, even the most experienced riders found the altitude challenging.
