Join Peter Hillary as he introduces a rare opportunity to travel across the Himalaya with him in celebration of AHF’s upcoming 25th anniversary.
On Tuesday, 22 September at 6pm, join legendary mountaineer and AHF Founding Director, Peter Hillary for a special webinar detailing an adventure you can be a part of across Ladakh, Everest, Darjeeling and Bhutan. This exclusive 19-day departure is run through World Expeditions' charity arm, Huma, in support of the Australian Himalayan Foundation.
Peter will share what makes this an extraordinary journey and why it's about far more than the trekking. Travelling across four distinct corners of the Himalaya, you'll move from the high desert monasteries of Ladakh to the iconic trails of the Everest region, on to the colonial hill station of Darjeeling, and finish amid the mountain kingdom of Bhutan. Along the way you'll visit AHF-supported projects in education, health and conservation, meeting the communities they serve firsthand - all while fundraising for a cause with deep personal meaning to your host.
What we'll cover:
The route: Ladakh, Everest, Darjeeling and Bhutan, and what makes each region unique
Peter's personal connection to the Himalaya and the Hillary family legacy
AHF's work on the ground - education, health and conservation projects you'll visit
