Are there any packages for less than 10 days? Which hotel/guest house do the racers stay?

We don't have any packages for less than 10 days for this years Great Tibetan Marathon. All runners need about a week in the altitude before the race in order to acclimatise properly.

The Guest Houses for the runners are some of the best that you find in Ladakh. Please note, however, that luxurous hotel facilities are not available in such a remote region.

Hello all,

I'm participating in this marathon for the first time. I live near Delhi an am interested in training with other residents of India.

I am also interested in meeting up with participants spending time in Delhi before the race.

Regards,

Melanie

I will be in China for the summer months and was wondering if there was a way to run the marathon without using one of your India based packages.

Hi All,
I'm wondering the same as anonymous. I'll be in Nepal for the summer and I'd like to run the marathon without purchasing a full travel package. I think I saw somewhere that there was a required 3 days of acclimatization. I would participate in thost 3 days above 3800 meters if necessary. (prob a good idea!)
Thanks!
Annie
