Deccan Ultra 2024
2024-02-11 02:00 - 2024-02-12 17:00 | Ahmednagar, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India
India, a land of diverse terrain, ranging from the rocky faces of the Himalayas to the forested slopes of the Sahyadris and the Western Ghats, offers gruelling and challenging race routes.

With the Deccan Ultra, we introduce trails nestled deep within the Sahyadri Range, offering mesmerizing views of the Deccan Plateau. The Deccan Ultra route includes the highest peak of Maharashtra, Kalsubai at an altitude of 1646m and also the toughest triple-trouble forts in Sahyadri; Alanggad, Madangad and Kulanggad, commonly called the AMK.

The route is a mix of easy-ascent slopes as well as treacherous rocky outcrops overlooking the valley below. To climb the near-vertical slopes there are iron ladders along the course. The 115km and 80km category circulates around the Bhandardhara dam and involves climbing 5 forts and the Kalsubai peak. Newly added 100 mile (161km) race pass via a beautiful mountain zone of windmills.

Dudhsagar Ultra Trail, Goa
2023-11-19 04:00 - 18:00 | Goa, Goa
About Dudhsagar:
Dudhsagar 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.

Mythical story!
This 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 bathe 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 honour. Hence the name “Dudhsagar”.

Why to run Dudhsagar Ultra Trail?
Goa 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. So even if you are not a beach lover, there is yet another reason to visit Goa – The scenic Western Ghats and its forests.
