Spectacular tracking shot at the longest downhill race in the world
The "Himalayan Enigma" was organized in the heart of Nepal, in Dolakha. It was not only the first mass start race in Asia, but also the biggest in terms of altitude difference with almost 2800 Elevation loss, compared to the famous Megavalanche on L'Alpe D'Huez in France.
The route was based on an ancient path. The "Path of the Gods" takes its name from the paths traveled by the Pandava brothers during their 13-year exile in the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata. Among them, Bhimsen was worshipped as a god, and the Dolakha Bhimsen Temple marks his divine presence on this legendary path. Each rider started just under 50 meters below the Kalinchowk Bhagwati temple at an altitude of almost 3800 meters, and ended at the Tamakoshi River at just under 900 meters.
