Discounts and offers for 2012 participants
We’re negotiating various discounts and offers with companies we know to offer good services. Hopefully this will make your time in Pokhara a little easier. You’ll find this info in your welcome pack at registration.
Sherpa Adventure Gear
Sherpa Adventure Gear are also a sponsor of the race. Race participants can get 10 % off Sherpa products at their Pokhara and Kathmandu stores. They make some fabulous clothing products. Check their website for details. The Pokhara store is easy to find on lakeside. The Kathmandu store is close to Durbar Marg and the Royal Palace.
Blue Sky Paragliding
You may have heard of the adventures of Babu and his friend Lakpa earlier this year (vote for them here on Nat Geo.), paragliding from the summit of Everest then kayaking to the Bay of Bengal – Summit to Sea. He also was the first to cross Nepal (not in one go) by paraglider. He works at Blue Sky Paragliding, a Swiss-Nepal venture and we recommend them due to their safety record and attitude to adventure. Nepal Mountain Running Service will be helping Babu learn to run for his future adventures. Blue Sky will offer a ‘good’ discount to Annapurna 100 participants.
