In the 3rd Edition\, Lahaul experienced heavy snowfall\, followed by a series of avalanches\, leading to total roadblocks. So\, the location was shifted to Jana in Kullu. The 4th Edition of Snow Marathon Lahaul was again run in 10.5 km loops. For the 5th Edition\, the route will be run in a fascinating loop of 21.097 km. The course will begin from North Portal and head out towards Khoksar and Gramphu\, and then back up the Manali-Leh Highway and then higher up to the whitewashed hill link roads across the monasteries and open snowed over fields and meadows and then down to the semi-frozen Chandra River. The running route is a mix of level roads\, river-valley floor\, trails and hill ascents and descents. Does it get more dramatically better and even more satisfying and challenging than that!? Be ready for a surprise at every step\, twist and turn\, and the natural slide down and back! \nClick here for the location.

SUMMARY:Dudhsagar Ultra Trail
DESCRIPTION:About Dudhsagar:\nDudhsagar is a four-tiered waterfall located in the Western Ghats of India. It is one of the most prominent and beautiful waterfalls in the country. The waterfall is situated on the Mandovi River in the state of Goa\, near the border with Karnataka. The name “Dudhsagar” means ‘sea of milk’. The milky appearance of the water forms when it cascades down the rocky tiers\, resembling a stream of milk.\n\n \nMythical story!\nThis Sea of Milk name for Dudhsagar Waterfall came from the myth associated with it. The story goes like this once there was a princess\, she was the daughter of king of ghats. She used to go to nearby lake to bath and along with her\, the maidens used to drink milk from the jug. One day a prince was crossing the lake and hearing the sound of laughter of princess and the maiden he stopped. Maidens poured the jug of milk in the water around her to save her honor. Hence the name “Dudhsagar”.\n \nWhy to run Dudhsagar Ultra Trail?\nGoa is always known to its visitors for its beaches\, pubs\, and nightlife. But what many do not know is that being occupied by the majestic hills of the Western Ghats\, the part of Goa near its Karnataka border is dotted with many waterfalls and beautiful trails in Mollem National Park & Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary like the Dudhsagar trek trail.

SUMMARY:The Coffee Trails 3.0
DESCRIPTION:The Coffee Trails 3.0 is set to happen in Coorg on 9th November 2025.\nCoorg is one of the smallest districts in Karnataka\, next to the Kerala border known for its verdant coffee estates\, hills\, lush greenery and the warrior community of Kodavas\, because of which it is called the ‘land of the bold and beautiful’. Also known as the ‘Scotland of India’\, it was given the term because of its previous Scottish and British settlers being reminded of their homeland by the hilly terrain\, greenery\, and the cool climate. The Coffee Trails will take the runners through beautiful coffee estates and some of the most beautiful trails and views in all of Coorg. The route will take in three of the most well-known peaks in the area; Thadiandamol (the tallest peak in Coorg)\, Kabbe and Chomakund.\nCategories:\nDISTANCE: 65km\nTOTAL ELEVATION GAIN: 3333m\nHIGHEST ALTITUDE: 1\,697m\nCUT-OFF: 13hrs\nITRA points: 3\n\n\nDISTANCE: 35km\nTOTAL ELEVATION GAIN: 1339m\nHIGHEST ALTITUDE: 1\,697m\nCUT-OFF: 8hrs\nITRA points: 1\n\nDISTANCE: 11km\nTOTAL ELEVATION GAIN: 710m\nHIGHEST ALTITUDE: 1\,697m\nCUT-OFF: 3hrs\nITRA points: 0\n\n\nThe views are breathtaking and the course difficulty ranges from comfortable to downright bad. The comfortable sections are stone or mud trails through the forest and the coffee plantations. The downright bad sections are the grassy areas on the hills which are similar to tussocks and clumps of heather on the English fells. Being in the monsoon\, the trails are also bound to be a little slippery. It’s a 30k loop with 1300m elevation gain.\nEmail – contact@grandindiantrails.com
