The Route

The run kicks off at Jibhi and goes up the Gadagusheni Rd. Passing by Bahu, it goes all the way to Village Mohni where it takes a U – turn and returns back down the mountain to Jibhi Waterfall. The runners go through a varied terrain of terraced fields, alpine forest and high meadows on an adventure which will include running along a mountain ridge.

The Course

• The course begins at Jibhi with a moderate ascent for about 0.5 km and then climbs steadily up for about 7 km with a short steep incline at the end. On reaching the top of the hill and we run along the ridge for 1 km and make a U-turn before Mohni village. The total altitude gained is 944 m.
• After the U-turn we go back down the path we’ve come up and finish at Jibhi.
• The course is moderate and altitude acclimatization is key – train well with hill training or a load on your back.
