Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Our trekking challenge...
…is to trek for 67km over five days through the fascinating region of North East India at the heart of the world’s highest mountain range. Explore the Kingdom of Gaddi – a semi nomadic race who wander the high passes with their cattle – passing Hindu settlements and Buddhist Monasteries with spectacular views of the Himalayan mountains. We end this incredible challenge with time to explore the incomparable Taj Mahal, the greatest monument to love ever built!
A typical day will be ...
Dharamsala to Kareri (2,070m)
The first few kilometres are undulating and then we will make a steep descent through dense pine forest to Ghere Village. We will take the bridge over a small mountain stream where we then stop for lunch. Following lunch, there is a steep ascent to the top of the ridge where we’ll be rewarded with some great views of the valley below. We push on trekking until we reach Kareri Village, where we set up camp in a lovely meadow next to the Laund River.
Trekking distance - 14 km , 7/8 hours approx
