SUMMARY:Trek the Himalayas
DESCRIPTION:Trek the Himalayas and make every step matter for Cornwall Hospice!\nTake on the challenge of a lifetime\nImagine standing deep in the Himalayan mountains\, knowing that every step you’ve taken – and every hour of hands-on work you’ve given – has helped bring comfort\, dignity and specialist end-of-life care to people across Cornwall. \nThis unforgettable journey through the heart of Northern India combines meaningful community work with an awe-inspiring Himalayan trekking adventure. You’ll begin in the bustling capital of Delhi\, where you’ll spend time contributing to a local community project supporting vulnerable children and families – past groups have painted hospice bedrooms\, built playgrounds and renovated therapy centres\, offering real\, hands-on help where it’s needed most. From there you’ll head north to the tranquil hill station of McLeodganj\, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile\, before a spectacular multi-day trek takes you deep into the dramatic Dhauladhar mountain range. You’ll hike through ancient forests\, remote villages\, high-altitude meadows and along glacial rivers\, camping under starlit skies in some of India’s most breath taking landscapes\, before ending with a visit to one of the world’s most iconic landmarks – the Taj Mahal. It’s a journey of purpose\, challenge and discovery that feels truly out of this world. \nIt’s demanding\, yes. But it’s also unforgettable – and every step you take will help to raise vital funds to support the patients and families who need Cornwall Hospice most. \nSign Up Now! \nWhy this trek matters\nEvery year\, Cornwall Hospice cares for hundreds of people living with life-limiting illness\, and supports the people who love them. That care – the nursing\, the compassion\, the quiet moments that mean so much – is only possible because of people like you. \nWhy join #TeamCH?\nTaking on an international challenge like this can feel daunting – but with Cornwall Hospice\, you’ll never feel alone in it. Here’s what you can expect when you join our team: \nA community behind you \nYou’ll be part of a warm\, welcoming group of fellow fundraisers who share your commitment to Cornwall Hospice. Whether you’ve done adventures like this before or this is your first big challenge\, there’s a place for you here. \nExpert support every step of the way \nThe trek itself is delivered by The Different Travel Company\, who focus on quality over quantity. Groups are kept small\, tour managers are experienced and supportive\, and itineraries are designed to give you time to enjoy the journey rather than rush through it. You don’t need to be an expert adventurer – you just need to be open to something new – and their team are with you throughout\, so you’re in safe hands. \nFundraising guidance from our team \nOur friendly fundraising team at Cornwall Hospice is here to help you reach your target. From fundraising ideas and templated communications to personal support and cheerleading\, we’ll make it as easy as possible to raise money and celebrate your efforts. \nWhat about fundraising?\nWe know that committing to a fundraising target can feel a little overwhelming\, especially if you haven’t done it before. Please don’t let that put you off – most people are genuinely surprised by how much support they receive once they start sharing their story and why this cause matters to them. \nThe Different Travel Company offer multiple ways to fundraise for your challenge trek\, so you can choose the option that works best for you. \nFundraising option: Pay a registration fee and commit to raising a minimum sponsorship amount. Half of that target covers your trip costs – flights\, accommodation\, guides and logistics – and the other half goes directly to Cornwall Hospice. Any funds you raise above the target come to us in full. \nFull-payment option: Pay your own trip costs in full\, with no minimum fundraising target. Anything you raise will come directly to Cornwall Hospice. \nPricing Breakdown\nFull Payment – £375 registration fee + £2\,375 [by 23rd July 2027]. Fundraise as much as you can for Cornwall Hospice. \nFundraising Option – £375 registration fee + £5\,600 of fundraising paid to Cornwall Hospice [by 9th July 2027]. \nYou can find out more about The Different Travel Company’s Pricing options here. \n\nHow we’ll support you\nFrom your first enquiry right through to your return home\, Cornwall Hospice and The Different Travel Company will make sure you feel informed\, prepared and supported. \nBefore you go \nYou’ll receive full trip information and kit guidance\, and our team can help with: \n\nA welcome pack and personalised fundraising advice to get you started\nReady-to-use templates for emails and social posts\nRegular tips\, ideas and encouragement along the way\nHelp setting up your fundraising page\n\nDuring the trek \nThe Different Travel Company’s experienced trek leaders will be with your group throughout the challenge\, managing safety\, logistics and the day-to-day experience so you can focus on the walk — and the view. \nWhen you’re back \nWe’d love to hear all about it. Many participants find that sharing their experience – at work\, on social media or at a local event – gives their fundraising a brilliant final boost. And of course\, we’ll be on hand to help you close your fundraising page and celebrate what you’ve achieved. \nQuestions? Get in touch with our Events & Challenges Partner\, Ellie\, on esmith@cornwallhospice.org or call 01726 66868 (3) to chat things through. \nReady to take on the Himalayas?\nThe mountains of Himachal Pradesh have stood for millennia. Your challenge takes 13 days – but the impact\, both in India and right here in Cornwall\, will last far longer. \nWhen you trek for Cornwall Hospice\, you become part of something much bigger than the miles you walk. You join a community of people who believe that everyone deserves compassionate\, expert care at the end of life. And you help make sure that care is always there\, right here in Cornwall. \nSign Up Now! \nKey details:\n\nTrek dates: 02/10/2027 – 14/10/2027 [other dates available on The Different Travel Company].\nPricing: Full Payment – £375 registration fee + £2\,375 [by 23rd July 2027].
