Story

The land of the Himalayas has more than 1,300 mountain peaks, including the highest mountain range in the world. This climbing season, the Trust is inviting all its supporters to take on one of Nepals most popular treks from the comfort of your local surroundings- The Annapurna Circuit and earn your victory medal!

With two trek options- full route or half route, all you have to do is walk 5km each day until you have completed your chosen distance. This challenge is open to everyone, no matter your age, health or ability, this is a challenge to keep active during these testing times.

We'll send you your GWT Trekkers Permit and you can collect your stamps at each village (checkpoint). Once you have collected all your stamps and your trekkers permit is full, we will send out you very well deserved medal!

Let's pull together during these tough times and help support Gurkha veterans, their families and communities, ensuring they can live their lives with dignity in Nepal.
