DHARAK : Nanda Sacred Trails 2026

DHARAK - Nanda Tolpani Top is a true mountain test that blends steep forest climbs with exposed ridgeline running. From Lohajung, runners follow the same initial climb toward Didina before continuing higher toward Tolpani Top. The ascent intensifies beyond Didina, with sharper gradients and reduced tree cover, opening into alpine terrain. The Tolpani Top turnaround offers expansive Himalayan views but also marks a critical safety gate, where strict cut-offs are enforced. The return journey demands careful energy management, as fatigued legs must handle long, technical descents back to Lohajung. This race is suited for seasoned trail runners with prior mountain experience and strong climbing ability.
