Organised by the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board and powered by Bikes Station Haldwani\, this event is a rare invitation to ride through some of the most untouched and dramatic Himalayan terrain in the country. \nWhether you are a competitive MTB rider or an adventure cyclist\, the Niti MTB Challenge offers a race experience unlike anything you will find on the Indian cycling calendar — raw\, scenic\, high-altitude\, and deeply rooted in the culture of the mountains. \n\nEvent Overview\nEvent: Niti MTB Challenge 2026 Date: 30 May 2026 Race Location: Niti Valley\, Chamoli\, Uttarakhand Base Camp: Joshimath\, Uttarakhand Organised by: Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board Powered by: Bikes Station Haldwani (Est. 2012) Bike Type: Only MTB (Mountain Terrain Bikes) allowed Helmet: Mandatory — No Helmet\, No Ride \n\nAbout Niti Valley\nNiti Valley is one of the last truly wild Himalayan valleys in India.
