What achievements of the Himalayan Enigma are you most proud of, and how have they enhanced the event’s reputation?

We take immense pride in concluding Asia’s First Mass Start Enduro mountain bike race. Additionally, we are proud to share that the race boasts the world’s highest vertical elevation drop in an enduro race, and is poised to establish a remarkable standard in the global racing landscape. 

How do you believe the race contributes to the global recognition of Nepal as a Mecca of mountain biking, and what future plans are in store for its improvement?

With the endorsement by Kilian Bron through his YouTube video, which has amassed over 250K views so far, and subsequent coverage in international media dedicated to the mountain biking community, the Himalayan Enigma - Trail of Gods has solidified the race's status on the bucket list for enthusiasts worldwide. The accomplishment not only elevates the race but also brings Nepal one step closer to establishing itself as the Mecca of mountain biking in the world.

We are planning to expand the race by enhancing participant experiences. The first edition of the race provided valuable learning experiences for our team, addressing logistics challenges and managing first aid emergencies on the trails. Armed with these insights, we are committed to applying lessons learned for an improved second edition. Additionally, we will uphold the race’s unique identity by staying true to our commitment to adventure, cultural integration, and sustainability.
