Team Kailash
We’re thrilled to announce that for the first time since the COVID pandemic, four senior students from Kailash Home have been selected to be members of the official 2026 Everest Marathon Team! Chosen from among upper level students with exemplary academic and running qualifications, these young people will represent HYF and Kailash on a worldwide stage as they run with athletes from all over the world in The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon, which is celebrated as the world’s highest marathon.
We’re counting down to May 29, 2026!
“I would not have had this golden opportunity to go to the Everest Base Camp and participate in world’s highest marathon if Himalayan Youth Foundation did not exist. I believe that there is no other NGO like this in the world that gives intense love and care like we experience at Kailash Home. To my greatest surprise in the 2018 marathon, I held 5th position in the female category, and this became the most tremendous achievement of my life. I am very grateful for the Kailash staff and all the donors and supporters who put in great effort for this successful marathon. Without you, it would have been impossible for us to make it here. I was proud to represent my Kailash Home and family. I am also very glad that we completed the marathon. This was a dream thanks to all of you.”
