Trek Himalayas
Dates available throughout 2012/13
A challenging trek accross the stunning Annapurna mountain range
This stunning trek takes place in the Himalayan Annapurnas, home to some of the highest peaks in the world; the summit of Annapurna I rises to 8091m. As we trek among them, we feel dwarfed by the sheer size and proximity of their snow-capped peaks.
Our challenge takes us from the frenetic, fascinating city of Kathmandu through mountainside villages and thick rhododendron forest. We continue up out of the tree-line over 3000m, where awe-inspiring views of the great peaks and glaciers of the Annapurnas await us.
This will be a tough challenge but one where our efforts reward us with some of the most magnificent mountain panoramas in the world!
"As a bowel cancer survivor and a Patient Voice for Beating Bowel Cancer, I decided to sign up for a trek whilst attending the annual Patient Voice event. From that moment on I had a goal to get as fit as I could be by September. I carried out fund raising all summer and flew out for the trip fairly apprehensive as to what lay ahead. I enjoyed a most amazing and life changing experience, from our excellent guide to the camaraderie and fantastic scenery. The hard work was worth everything to have taken part and raised a large sum for the charity." Ann Cole, trek participant (2011)
