Hello Adventurers!
It’s great to be home from 8 incredible weeks guiding in the spectacular Himalayas. All my clients from the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes trek had a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trekking experience that will stay in their hearts and minds forever.
I would like to personally congratulate: Mary & Rob, Julia, Michelle, Shell, Susan, Tamela, John, Karl and Rob. You all achieved your personal goals and I am so proud of you!

Here a few testimonials from team members:

“The Annapurna Circuit has been on my ‘to do’ list for about 40 years, but for all sorts of reasons I left it until I was almost 60 to tackle it. Thanks to Cherie I felt totally prepared. Her excellent training program, detailed planning and amazing attention to detail before and during the walk ensured a safe, successful and absolutely enjoyable trek. Nepal is an amazing place, and Cherie and her Sherpa guides and porters made sure we experienced it as completely as possible, visiting shrines and temples as well as walking among the villages and seeing the amazing snow peaks all around us. It was delightful to be welcomed by the local people, to see the kids walking up the mountains with us on their way to school, and to laugh and joke with our Sherpa’s every day. I loved the amazing diversity, from lush rice terraces in the lower altitudes to the barren ruggedness of the incredible Thorung La pass at 5,416m. Every day brought new highlights, new insights, new vistas and new experiences. It was a truly memorable trek with an extremely experienced, knowledgeable and caring guide. I feel very fortunate to have been part of this group. Where to next Cherie?”

“An Everest Base Camp trek hit my bucket list not long after the death of my Mum a few years ago. Enter an overweight, unfit corporate type me approaching Cherie Horne after I signed up to do the trek months ago…Her belief in me, amazingly beneficial pre-trek training, health and lifestyle advice and experience in the mountains saw me live my dream in October/November 2013. I’II never be able to thank her enough for helping me achieve my goal and inspire me to return to a healthier and fitter life that had been lacking for some years. Sure, the Himalayas touch your soul like to other place on Earth, but the guidance from Cherie saw the tough days feeling a little bit less daunting and her passion left me literally feeling on top of the world. I can’t recommend her highly enough…I’m planning my next trip with her now!”
Tamela Dray, (Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes trek, Oct-Nov 2013)

“Meeting Cherie for the first time after flying into Kathmandu airport I immediately felt at ease as she welcomed me with a “g’day mate’ and helped me sort my ‘stuff.’ Her organisational skills and knowledge of her treks are exceptional, I have never seen a more relaxed team than the one that would eventually conquer the Annapurna Circuit trek lead by Cherie Horne. The amazing effort she put in to lead us to our dream is
exceptional, I hope she can lead you to yours!”
Karl Bogos, (Annapurna Circuit trek, Sept- Oct 2013)

Team Annapurna Success – October 2013

Everest Base Camp Success for Tamela Dray – November 2013

The memories and friendships created during the 8 week pre-trek training program and the actual trek itself  is the special reward of my unique trekking adventures. Clients become my friends and together we all share a bond that leaves an indelible mark upon each individual. The friendships don’t end when the trek concludes, the connection remains long after. This week all my clients from the treks I have guided this year will gather together for a ‘post-trek’ celebration dinner.
I cant wait to see everyone and reflect on the amazing trekking adventures we experienced.
