Spend the day in nature, soaking in these amazing views while enjoying these 'ultra trails'. These are not for the faint of heart. We recommend three classic ultra trail races, so you can have fun with this extreme sport.

Himalaya Energy Ultra Trail

The Tibetan culture on the plateau brings an exotic and spiritual feeling to the event. The Himalaya Energy Ultra Trail, with an average elevation of 4050m and a highest of 4780m, is a typical plateau trail race. The event is located in Lulang Scenic Area, Nyingchi, where the local Tibetan culture adds charm to the experience. Due to the special conditions, players will overcome the muddy road, rain, low temperature and other factors on one hand, and the overwhelming physical burden of altitude side-effects when climbing on the other. However, when you stand on the Peak Observation Platform at the altitude of 4560m and see the grandeur view of Peak Namcha Barwa, the arduous excursion is left behind and you are left with life changing views.
