Mon, Oct 8th 2018 at 12:00 am- Wed, Oct 10th 2018 - 1:00 am
I not a trekking expert and certainly not a high mountain trekker. I suffer from asthma from childhood which brings unique challenges at high altitude. However I am determined to complete this trek in aid of my chosen charity.
The trekking involves going through dense rhododendron forest, High altitude rope bridges and within touching distance of the deepest gorge in the world, The Kali Gandaki gorge. The latter has Dhaulagiri (8,167 m or 26,795 ft) on the west and Annapurna (8,091 m or 26,545 ft) on the east. If successful I will be able to see Annapurna and the Fish tail mountain (Machapuchrre) at 6993 m ( 22, 943 feet). The trek involves covering distance about 60 miles in 3 days I hope you will support me which will allow me to raise fund for my chosen charity The Rotary club of Edgbaston Convention. This club does a lot of excellent and admirable charity work for the underprivileged and disabled children and the elderly community in Birmingham and West Midlands and supports overseas charity work in Malawi and India. I am funding the trip myself and all the money raised will go to the Rotary club Any support will be helpful.
