Tue 15th October 2024 - Wed 23rd October 2024

Two runners navigate a gravel path in a mountainous landscape under a clear blue sky. The man on the right wears a yellow shirt and backpack, while the woman on the left sports a purple shirt. Snow-capped mountains and lush greenery form a picturesque backdrop. A group of four people in traditional clothing stand on a hillside with lush greenery and mountains in the background. They are holding white flags with a purple emblem, smiling, and appear to be celebrating. The sky is cloudy. A hiker in green attire and a red backpack raises their arms triumphantly near a stone cairn and prayer flags on a mountain trail. Snow-capped peaks are in the background under a clear blue sky with the sun shining brightly. The landscape is rugged and expansive. A person wearing a white tank top and blue pants sits in a meditative pose on a rocky surface. They face a snow-covered mountain under a clear blue sky, with a vivid backdrop of rugged terrains. The person wears a blue headband and their hair is tied back in a ponytail. A smiling woman wearing a marathon cap holds a race bib while sitting between two men dressed in traditional orange attire with painted faces. One man raises his hand in greeting, and the other man poses with a cheerful expression. A person is running on a rocky, uneven trail through a hilly landscape. They are wearing a black tank top, yellow shorts, and athletic shoes. The sky is cloudy, and green hills are visible in the background. Some foliage lines the path. A person is running on a dirt trail surrounded by snow-covered mountains and sparse vegetation. The sky is clear with a hint of light, indicating either morning or evening. The scene exudes a serene, invigorating atmosphere. A man is trail running along a mountain path with snow-capped peaks in the background. He is wearing race gear, including a hydration vest and knee support, and is focused on the trail ahead. The scenery includes lush green trees and rugged terrain under a clear blue sky. A person wearing outdoor gear runs along a path lined with tall, colorful flags. The backdrop features a stunning mountain range topped with snow under a clear blue sky. The sun casts shadows on the ground. The flags flap in the wind, adding a dynamic element to the scene. A person wearing a black and blue jacket with "Nepal Yeti Marathon" printed on the back stands on a terrace, facing a waterfall amidst a lush, green rocky landscape. The waterfall cascades down the cliff behind the person.
