Yak Attack 2007
Besi Sahar - Bahundanda (800m to 1294m, Altitude gain 494m,12.7 miles, Cumulative climb - 760m)
After an opening ceremony involving a hindu blessing and presentation of a flower garland to each competitor, the Chief District Officer of Lamjung cut the ribbon to start the first ever Yak Attack.
With a rolling start along the sealed road of Besi Sahar main street, the bikers quickly left the runners behind. The route soon changed to rough jeep track and then to single track, roughly following the river to Bulbule, where competitors crossed on a long suspension bridge.

Yak-Attack 2008
First of all – thank you! Through your generosity, INF's Greenpastures Hospital in Pokhara now has an extra £1,200 that will make a big difference to people suffering from leprosy, spinal cord injury and other forms of disability in Western Nepal. Nepal is one of the few countries where leprosy has still not been 'eliminated' and people come to Greenpastures from all over the western half of Nepal to get treatment and for rehabilitation from the disability that leprosy so often causes.
In Nepal, many people are injured in accidents, especially falling out of trees while cutting fodder for animals, and also from burns. Greenpastures is one of the few places in Nepal where reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation treatment are available.
