here are some tried and tested ideas to get your fundraising
off to a flying start.
Tell everyone you know what you are up to – the more people
you approach the more sponsors you will get.Try and get
them to pay you upfront and a good tip is to try and start
each sponsor form with a generous donation,this will set a
high standard for others to follow.

sponsorship schemes that match pound for pound!

1234m. We follow the Seti Nadi River through rice paddies and
small villages as it slowly climbs.The sections vary from being
steep and stepped whilst others outline the mountainside and
gradually climb.Whilst trekking the views we experience will
be of small villages perched on the hillsides and of terracedfields. After lunch we continue to our camp which tonight is
Ghalegaon at an altitude of 1641m.The tough uphill will be
made worthwhile from the views at the top.
Trekking time approximately 6-8 hours
Day 5:After tea in our tents and breakfast we head out for a tough
day which climbs higher through alpine meadows and
rhododendron forests. Our path takes us to the grassy wooded
knoll of Tara Top where there is a spectacular 360 degree view
of most the Annapurna massif. The Himalayan foothills of
central Nepal drop away from us towards the Ganges and theIndian plains.We camp here at an altitude of 2800m and enjoy
the stunning clear skies and a sunset like no other.

illuminating the magnificent views surrounding us.We head
off along a trail which follows the 2500m contour and trek
through forests with overhanging mosses and lichens.We

before a backdrop of snowy peaks.Camp for this evening is
set at the edge of the village in a large open area at 1999m.

Day 7: Today we are heading for Lamakhet set at 870m. We start
trekking with a long decent along a stepped track that drops
into the valley again through terraced fields and a small
village. It’s definitely tough on the legs today as we decent
780m in this one decent. At the bottom of the valley we follow
a path to Setigaon and then continue to descend along the
Mardi Khola river where we will stop for lunch. Hopefully the
weather will be clear so we can enjoy the views along the way
including that of Annapurna II which is breathtaking, with its
huge icefall and glazier marking the origin of the river.We
continue to trek down the river valley to our camp set on the
banks of the river, tonight will be our last under the stars.

be in a hotel bed! We have a half-day’s trek that takes us to the
edge of the Pokhara valley. The start is steep but this then leads
us to a decent before a twisting path takes us to the bottom of
the valley. After lunch we walk to our transport and then return
to Pokhara where we will have our celebration meal.
Trekking time approximately 4 hours
