China Trek

Saturday 9th May to Monday 18th May 2009 China

Do you have a passion for culture, a sense of adventure and the desire to do something challenging for a great cause?

If so, you should join Afghanaid China Trek! Come and immerse yourself in Chinese tradition, history and ancient mythology. Trek along part of The Great Wall-one of the wonders of the world, passing through woodland and terraced farmland, following the contours of these beautiful mountains. We provide you with a dedicated event manager to help you reach the fundraising target and answer any questions. We also organise a pre-trip event so you can meet all your fellow trekker.
