Now’s your chance to turn that dream into reality with the M2M Poon Hill trek—a fundraising challenge that offers the perfect entry-level experience in Nepal, combining physical demands with breathtaking scenery.
This 9-day adventure includes 5 days of trekking, and while the altitude peaks at 3,280m, the route is filled with steep staircases and long trails that will test your endurance as you journey from village to village. It’s a tough challenge, especially if you’re new to trekking, but the sense of accomplishment and the awe-inspiring views will make every step worth it. And don’t worry—we’ve built in plenty of time to soak in the scenery and enjoy every moment.
You’ll trek through traditional Himalayan villages, take in the stunning Annapurna Panorama, and fully immerse yourself in Nepalese culture. Open to anyone in good health, this trek starts at a comfortable 1,000m, so there’s no need to worry about altitude sickness—just bring your determination and a love for adventure.
To top it off, you’ll also experience thrilling white-water rafting, with eagles soaring above and incredible mountain vistas all around.
This trek is more than an adventure; it’s a challenge that will push you to grow stronger, both physically and mentally, while helping raise vital funds for a meaningful cause.
