This month saw a group of 16 adventurous Trekkers raise $140,000 as
they ventured up the spectacular Langtang valley in Nepal in aid of
Muscular Dystrophy Australia.The group had raised funds for research
into finding a cure for this disease which affects one in every 1,000
Australians (and of course others too!).
Pictured... are some of the group reaching the summit Tsergo Ri at 4,600m
towards the top of the Langtang valley. Langtang is a narrow glaciated
valley surrounded by towering mountains that lies about one day's drive
from Kathmandu, along the northern border with Tibet. Many of the
people who live here are Tamangs and Tibetans who've settled here from
their homeland across the mountains. It is less popular with trekkers
than Annapurna or Everest but therein lies it's appeal! We can organise
private trips for as few as two people, just e-mail or call us us for
more details.
Raw Travel Our Lhasa to Kathmandu riders completed their epic 1100km ride this month raising an astounding $80,000 in the process for the Oncology Children's foundation. The group of 14 cycled over 5400m passes and visited the awesome north face of Everest as part of their ride across the roof of the world. Be part of this ama...zing ride in 2010 and check out our Nepal page - there are limited places and the trip fills fast.
