Quote: “Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.” Denis Waitley

Namaste Adventurers!

It’s time to trek to the base of the highest mountain in the world, Mt Everest!
Tonight my delightful team of clients depart Melbourne and fly to Kathmandu, Nepal to begin their 18 day Himalayan trekking adventure. The training is done, the team bond is strong and the excitement & anticipation has peaked! Over the next few weeks I will guide, Karin, Kate, Simone, Bill, Ian & Michael through the most spectacular mountain range in the world, the Himalayas, home of mighty Mt Everest (8848m).
I encourage you to follow our daily progress via my Facebook page – Cherie Horne Trekking Adventures & High Performance Training & Twitter @trekwithcherie. I will have daily updates & pictures of all the fun & adventure that my team will experience in what will be a life changing trekking holiday!
