Also located very close to David’s Fall is GupteswarGupha\, a mysteriously sacred cave that holds special value for Hindus since a phallic symbol of Lord Shiva is perfectly preserved here in the condition it was discovered in. Locally\, it is also named as GupteswarMahadev. \nBindybasini Temple is the oldest religious shrine in Pokhara built in the 16th century. The main shrine of the temple is dedicated to the Goddess Durga where Hindu worshippers flock to perform sacrifices\, especially on Saturday. \nSetiGandaki Gorge\, a wonder of nature that goes underground\, vanishing from sight in many places along its route through the city.

The 66811 ha of mountainous terrain is located in the Cape Floral Region only three hours outside Cape Town\, but it feels like a different world. The Cederberg Mountains\, burnt orange by iron oxide\, dominate the landscape. Jagged sandstone rock formations\, like the Maltese Cross and the Wolfberg Arch\, and ancient San and Khoi rock art\, make this area truly spectacular. \nThe Cederberg lies 250km north of Cape Town\, stretching from the Middelberg Pass in Citrusdal to north of the Pakhuis Pass at Clanwilliam. The wilderness encompasses about 71 000 hectares of rugged\, mountainous terrain\, making it a top spot in the Western Cape for hiking and rock-climbing enthusiasts. \nThe Cederberg\, which forms part of the Cape floral Region\, is a World Heritage Site\, is covered in mountain fynbos\, including the laurel protea\, the red disa\, rooibos\, and the rare and endemic snow protea. Rare Clanwilliam cedars\, the area’s namesake\, dot the higher mountain cliffs. \nThe area is also rich in wildlife. Visitors with a keen eye may spot porcupines\, honey badger\, the Cape clawless otter and aardvark. The lucky few may even catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard. There are also smaller predators like the African wild cat\, lynx\, bat-eared fox\, aardwolf and Cape fox. Other\, more common animals include baboons\, dassies\, grey rhebok\, klipspringers\, duiker and grysbok. \nTo find out more\, download the Cederberg Wilderness brochure. \nAlgeria\nFrom Cape Town: Take the N7 highway. Stay on the N7 past Citrusdal\, after 28km take the Cederberg/Algeria turn-off to the right. Follow this main gravel road for 17km you will see the office complex and accommodation and campsite access road on your left. This is a 250km drive\, which should take about three hours. \n \n  URL:https://raceconnections.com/event/cederberg-traverse-trail-run-presented-by-cederberg-wines/ LOCATION:Cederberg\, Cederberg\, Western Cape\, South Africa CATEGORIES:Marathon,Trail Running,Ultra Marathon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://raceconnections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Trail-Running-Events-in-Africa-2021.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Energy Events":MAILTO:info@energyevents.co.za GEO:-32.5891202;19.0118251 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Cederberg Cederberg Western Cape South Africa;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Cederberg:geo:19.0118251,-32.5891202 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211003 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20211004 DTSTAMP:20260403T222906 CREATED:20210702T092649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210702T092649Z UID:10005437-1633219200-1633305599@raceconnections.com SUMMARY:Virgin London Marathon DESCRIPTION:London Live!
