Message from the YakRu founders

Welcome to Yaa Ru Enduro - Chhimi

I am incredibly delighted to welcome you to my native village of Ghyaru, Manang. It is my honour and privilege to show you what Manang has to offer in terms of big-mountain enduro possibilities.

We explore more virgin trails every year and showcase them during our year-end Yak Ru Enduro race. Over the years, the Yak Ru has become synonymous with big adventure riding.

Chhimi U Gurung,
Co-Founder

 

Welcome to Yak Ru Enduro Race and mountain biking tours. Whether you are an expert athlete or a novice starter, our range of tours and races should appeal to you.

We are committed to letting you enjoy Nepal thoroughly by immersing you into the cultures and traditions while pursuing big mountain rides.

I have a lot of stories to tell from this race. The mountains of Manang has a lot of potential for enduro and freestyle riders.

Nepal was always very close to my heart. Now that I have got the taste of the high altitude race, my expectations are higher. Would love to come back.

Before coming here, I had no idea what it was gonna be like. Now that I have been here, I love it. This place is nuts. I will come back.

Nepal is such an exotic place to have mountain bike race. It is different from other races around the world.  Yak Ru is more than a race, it is a full-on adventure packed in 10 days.

Nepal’s mountains reminded me of New Zealand except they are only bigger. Biking here is so superb that I am glad I extended my riding trip after the race and covered more grounds.

I am glad I came to Nepal to ride and race. One tick on the bucket list. Extending the ride after the race was another level altogether. Thoroughly enjoyed the culture and hospitality of the people of Nepal.

enjoyed the fresh air in the mountains of Manang. Mind-blowing scenery while racing. Wish I had more time to enjoy the scenery and soak a bit more in the environment.
