HIGH PEAKS OF THE ANNAPURNAS TREK, NEPAL: OPEN CHALLENGE
Dates: 14 March - 24 March 2009 24 October - 3 November 2009
CHOOSE YOUR CHARITY! Open Challenges are open to anyone wanting to raise money for any charity, whether it’s a large national organisation or your local hospice or appeal.
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!
