Help for Heroes Nepal Trek
Nepal is one of the most diverse and culturally rich places on Earth, stretching 500 miles east to west and 150 miles from north to south. It is one of the few countries in the world to have never been ruled by a foreign country, and was closed to foreigners until 1949. It's two main religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, are two of the most easy-going and humane world religions and Nepal’s is a relaxed, friendly culture. This trip allows an insight into the culture of the mountain kingdom as 
well as its natural beauty.
Our challenge takes us through mountainside villages and thick rhododendron forest up out of the tree line, where we will see the most awe-inspiring views of the great peaks and glaciers of the Himalayas. The Annapurna Range is home to some of the highest peaks in the world and we feel dwarfed by the sheer size and proximity of their snow-clad peaks. We also have time to explore the fascinating and diverse capital city of Kathmandu.
This will be a tough challenge but our efforts reward us with some of the most magnificent mountain panoramas in the world. Our trip takes us 2800m into the mountains, and we camp for four nights below the stars. After white water rafting eastwards to Pokhara, we trek upwards to Tallokot, through Ghalegaon and finally to Tara Top (otherwise known as Starlight Top) where we sit and marvel at the stars.
