ACE Africa is looking for participants to take part in a new exciting and unique event ‘Hike the Himalayas’ which will take place from 7 – 17th April in 2014 in Nepal.
For the first time ACE Africa are excited to be able to offer a challenge outside of Africa to all those with a sense of adventure! This challenge of a lifetime is open to people of all ages, from all walks of life. The money raised will change the lives of orphans and vulnerable children and families in our project sites in East Africa.
The Nepal trek will take you through the stunning Annapurna Region of the Himalayas of Nepal, home to some of the highest mountains in the world, whilst passing through Nepalese villages, where you can gain first hand experience of the local cultures. The goal is to reach Poon Hill at a height of 3,210m whilst taking in the views and undergoing a fun, mental and physical challenge.
The challenge is not designed for Olympic athletes, but for people looking for an amazing goal to train and get fit for. Once you sign up for the challenge, we will provide you with a realistic training programme which gradually builds up as the challenge gets closer, as well as some ACE Africa promotional material. All you need is a pair of good walking boots!
