Dhanyabad! Kadinche! Thanks very much to our generous trekkers and supporters who kindly donated money to our hardship fund for our Nepalese and Bhutanese trek crews who missed our on work from cancelled Spring season due to Covid 19 pandemic.

We raised an incredible £10,886 from our clients within a 3 week period and was paid out at end of April to our offices in Kathmandu and Thimphu. This has now in turn been paid out to our guide and cooks, for those who could not visit the office in person we will make payments into their bank accounts.

As you can see from this video from some of our trek crew in Bhutan they are very grateful for these donations and I have received messages from many of our guides and cooks on Facebook and Whatsapp thanking everyone very much for their support. There is no doubt this money will help them and families survive the summer.

Thanks again! Trek later on....
