Despite Nepal being famous for adventure sports, it won’t be wrong to say that not many people in Nepal are actually interested in outdoor activities. We might try to pin the blame on our hectic work schedules but we also know that we must change that habit. Himalayan Outdoor Festival, hosted by Pangro Events, is your chance to do so. Be it trail running, rock climbing, or mountain biking, you can choose to participate in whichever event you wish during the three day celebration that will take place from February 22 to 24 and give yourself a much needed chance to enjoy the outdoors.

Bike racing is a sport that is believed to have a lot of scope in Nepal. It’s considered an epitome of adventurous sports with its history dating back to the 1890s. However, it’s only in the recent years that mountain biking has come into the spotlight for Nepali youths. Moreover, there are only a handful of female bikers in Nepal as of now. But 23-year-old Nishma Shrestha, a mountain bike racer, is creating waves on the mountain biking front, winning international accolades. She won the 2018 Asian Enduro series and has also participated in various national competitions.
