Irene Wong’s suggestions for your visit to Nepal
Everyone in Nepal is so friendly, and the area around Pokhara is beautiful! If you get a chance to go for a hike in the Annapurnas and go for a boat ride on the lake, do it!

I remember looking up during the bike ride and seeing the fishtail mountain and the rest of the Annapurna mountain range in front of me and just thinking to myself “How awesome is this?” Definitely do this race!

My memories of Himalayan Rush Swimming in a lake for the first time and in my speedo swim briefs getting brain freeze almost all the way.Being escorted by all the kayaks at the end of my swim bcz I was the last swimmer out.
Spectacular scenery on the cycling route A great sense of achievement in finishing the toughest 10km run ever.

This was my first ever duathlon, and my first time riding a bike on this kind of terrain. While I had to go slow in some sections of the race it was a good challenge, a lot of fun, and definitely one of a kind.
