Himalayan Xtri
About the event
HimalayanXtri is an unparalleled extreme triathlon, taking athletes on a 222-kilometer journey reaching the pinnacle of any triathlon globally at 4,000 meters. This thrilling event encapsulates the essence of Nepal—a land of extremes and diversity with its majestic Himalayas, eight of the world's tallest peaks, vast glaciers, lush subtropical forests, and expansive arid deserts.Athletes will need the resilience of the fierce Gurkha warriors and the serenity of Buddha to conquer this race. HimalayanXtri focuses on the experience rather than the speed, offering a passage through awe-inspiring landscapes. Participants will begin with a tranquil night swim in a subtropical lake, followed by a challenging road bike ride with 5,300 meters of elevation gain, and conclude with a run through the thin mountain air alongside the stunning Annapurna range.
The race culminates at a secluded homestay village, offering athletes a chance to immerse themselves in the warmth of Nepali hospitality and community. This adventure is a distinctive experience for every athlete and their support crew. Remember, this is a seriously extreme challenge—Nepal's terrain is anything but flat!
Embrace the Nepalese spirit and ask yourself: Are you ready to think differently?
