Book The Great Himalaya Trail
On the trail of the myth of the Himalayas over 1,864 kilometers
The Great Himalaya Trail is one of the longest and arguably most difficult trails in the world. In some sections it reaches a height of almost 6,000 meters. I ran this trail over 1,864 kilometers in two stages - primarily as a journalist, but also as an enthusiastic trail runner.
