Vietnam Hill Tribe Trek

A truly magnificent trek into the heart of the Highlands of North Vietnam, your trekking challenge will include crossing valleys and rivers and following winding trails through remote hill tribe villages. Trekking well off the beaten track, you will experience a privileged chance to meet and stay with the people of the Northern Hill Tribes, joining them for meals and observing their culture and village life.

This incredible trip is perfect for anyone with a great sense of adventure and the desire to help Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity. A total of 11 days, with 5 days consecutive trekking in varying temperatures, this is a challenging and demanding venture, but one that promises an exciting once in a life time experience.

There is a registration fee of £399, and then a minimum sponsorship of £3,150. The full cost of the trip is paid for out of this money, with the remainder going straight to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity.

All your specialist kit is provided, as well as food, accommodation, return flights from London to Hanoi, transfers in private air-conditioned vehicles, bottled water, English speaking guides, tents, cooks, trekking permits and comprehensive first aid kits. You will be well looked after by a strong support team of UK Challenge leaders as well as porters for your luggage and local guides.

The trip takes place from the 5th – 15th October 2012 and places are limited. If you would like further information about this incredible adventure, please get in touch with Clare McManmon by calling 0161 276 4404 or emailing clare.mcmanmon@cmft.nhs.uk.
