Absolutely! The trek is suitable for all abilities with the correct training. The minimum age for this trek is 18 years old (if you are aged between 14 – 17 years you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian). The one thing everyone will have in common is a great sense of adventure and the desire to help a charity.

This challenge has been graded as Challenging (1) on our challenge grading scheme meaning the trek has been designed to be challenging but achievable as long as you train beforehand. You will be trekking for 5 consecutive days – the fitter you are the more you will enjoy the challenge! Trekking training tips can be found on the Global Adventure Challenges website (Taking Part section) and once registered they will also be available in your account hub to help point you in the right direction.

Our policy is to encourage and support as many people as possible to take part in our challenges. But they may not be suitable for all people due to restriction posed by limitation in mobility, physical or cognitive disability, pregnancy or other various medical conditions. If you have any doubts regarding your suitability for your challenge please contact our office to speak to one of the team.

All our challenges are graded on a scale from 1 to 3 to indicate the level of difficulty, 1 being the lowest challenge grade and 3 being the most challenging. (1 = Challenging, 2 = Tough and 3 = Extreme).

While in Kathmandu we will stay in hotel accommodation, twin rooms with en-suite facilities. Whilst on trek we will be staying in local guest houses. Whilst very basic, they offer some welcome respite after each days trekking! Typically they are twin-share. There is also the opportunity to buy some essentials and snacks from the guest houses.

Once you have registered on to the challenge a kit list can be found in your account hub. Apart from broken in trekking boots and some trekking poles you do not need any specialist kit.

No. Participants will only have to carry a day pack (for items such as sunscreen, water, sun hat, camera, etc.) and your main piece of luggage will be transported  between accommodations by our team of porters whilst trekking. 

All meals will be provided from lunch on Day 3 through to breakfast on Day 10, except for lunch and dinner on Day 2 & 9. We will endeavour to cater for most dietary requirements as long as we know in advance – once registered on to the challenge, your will be asked to give any dietary requirements via your account hub.

There will be a strong support team with a professional Global Adventure Challenges leader from Nepal, as well as local mountain guides, porters and a local English speaking doctor. Comprehensive first aid kits will be taken.
