An absolutely MUST for all the adventurous souls. This breath-taking journey reaches altitudes of 3,210 metres, trekking in breathtaking scenery surrounded by the majesty of the Annapurna mountains. The terrain is immensely varied with rhododendron forests, mountain rivers and undulating trekking tracks.
FUNDRAISING: This charity challenge will support Child Rescue Nepal. Together, our goal is to raise USD20,000.
To support our goal, we advise each individual to fundraise USD1,375 so that together, we can succeed with this project and support children in need in Nepal.
FITNESS LEVEL: This will be an extreme test of fitness and determination. There is no technical climbing, but there will be plenty of challenging sections and trekking at high altitude. Regular fitness training and long-distance walking is highly recommended. Click here to read more about the challenge difficulty levels.
