The Pokhara Enduro Legacy

Learn more about the 3rd Edition Race

Pokhara Enduro Race (#POE) emerged from a visionary collaboration in January 2020, when trail builders from six countries—Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Nepal—carved golden paths through the dense forests of Arba hills. What began as an international passion project has evolved into Nepal’s premier mountain biking event.

After a three-year development phase, the inaugural 2023 race drew riders from ten countries, establishing Pokhara as an emerging enduro destination. The momentum accelerated with the 2nd POE (November 27-29, 2024), which united an even more diverse international community with riders from Australia, the UK, Sweden, Canada, the USA, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Together, they tackled four meticulously crafted special stages that showcased Pokhara Valley’s stunning diversity—from technical forest descents to breathtaking Himalayan vistas.

The race format balances accessibility with a challenge, offering dedicated practice sessions, a strategic prologue, and an adrenaline-charged race day. The addition of a pro trail in 2024 elevated the competition while maintaining the event’s inclusive spirit. This success is a testament to the powerful collaboration between local communities, government officials, and passionate volunteers.

In November 2025, the 3rd Pokhara Enduro Race promises to push boundaries further with enhanced trails and experiences. Join us as we continue to establish Nepal as a world-class mountain biking destination where adventure, community, and breathtaking landscapes converge.
