Today we're delighted to share this amazing feedback from a Charity Challenge veteran who has just got back from her third challenge.

Louise Orchard had these lovely words to say:

"I had the absolute pleasure of completing the DALAI LAMA HIMALAYAN TREK with such a great bunch of likeminded individuals. The bonds you make and the support and encouragement we all give to each other is second to none. The organisation and thought that goes into the planning of these treks is amazing.

The leaders and staff are such wonderful people and go the extra mile to make sure you have a brilliant experience. This is the third trek I've completed through Charity Challenge and even though each one has been unique they have all been incredible. With Charity Challenge's support I have achieved more than I ever thought I would, whilst appreciating other cultures and their way of living.

I highly recommend Charity Challenge and the amazing adventures that they offer. They will certainly change your life for the better! The greatest compliment I could give is - Would I do another challenge? Yes, without hesitation.️"
