2 Join our exclusive team of St Barnabas House India Trekkers as you journey through the spiritual heart of Northern India, home to the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan community in the foothills of the Himalayas. As part of this spectacular challenge, participants will be invited to hang prayer flags at the highest point of our trek in Laka Got to celebrate the lives of loved ones and all those cared for by St Barnabas House. With peaceful and stunning views guaranteed, the team with pass through the Kingdom of Gaddi a semi-nomadic race who spend months wandering the high passes with their cattle, rhododendron forests, Hindu settlements and Buddhist monasteries. The excursion will round off with an unmissable trip to explore the incomparable Taj Mahal one of the world s greatest monuments to love ever built.
3 Why challenge yourself for St Barnabas House? St Barnabas House has been providing hospice care for local people, and their families, for over 40 years. In all that time our goal has been the same to give our patients and their loved ones the care and support we would all want for our own families. Each year we provide vital end of life care to hundreds of local people, both within the hospice and out in the community. The care we offer to cancer patients is a fundamental aspect of St Barnabas core service and this won t change. But we also have new ambitions for the future, as our care services grow and expand into further specialist nursing areas. The 2018 India Trek team will be helping us to support people with more complex clinical needs including dementia, heart disease, liver disease and kidney failure. We have the skills, knowledge and experience to make a difference to the lives of every single person and family in our community. But, although we support over 80 per cent of local people living with cancer, we are only able to touch the lives of less than 10 per cent of people living with life-limiting conditions. Our trekkers will play an important role in helping us to pioneer new hospice services that will enable us to care for more people. Will you take on the challenge and help us reach everyone who needs hospice care?

After trekking through the open meadows and pine forest to another village, we then descend to a beautiful mountain stream to have some lunch. Back on foot we tackle the steep ascent to Bal village the breathtaking views will definitely take our minds off the challenging trek!

6 Anne Porter took part in our St Barnabas House Inca trek in 2012 and has kindly shared her experience with us. It was my late husband Mike s idea... He thought that I should go on a little adventure afterwards, that it would give me a focus and would also be good way of saying Thank you for the wonderful care he was receiving at St Barnabas House. He passed away in October 2011 and a few weeks later, just before Christmas, I had a mad five minutes and signed up! Well, the rest is history as they say. I met my trekking companions and before I knew it, got involved in curry nights, training walks and pub quizzes. It was a bit of a shock to the system, but luckily everybody was so friendly and encouraging. The day came to leave for Peru and what can I say, Mike was so right! It didn t just test me physically, but emotionally, spiritually and mentally too. It was far more than just a walk in the Andes! When I reached the Sun Gate, so many things happened that I cannot describe. In a way, it was probably at that moment that I said goodbye to my Mike and turned a huge page in the little book of my life. I came back down from these mountains renewed, refreshed and so very proud. The dark clouds had gone and I could see blue skies ahead. I met some truly wonderful people, we had some very memorable moments together. The best part is that I have met Paul, my new partner, as a result of that journey and have embarked on many new adventures together, gone on other challenges and still meet regularly with the rest of the team. You will love every minute of these challenges and, yes, you can do it. You will gain so much more from the experience than you can ever imagine. Anne Porter St Barnabas House Inca Trek, 2012
7 Your questions answered Is this trip for me? Absolutely! This trek is suitable for people of all ages (minimum 18 years old). The one thing everyone will have in common is a sense of adventure and the desire to help St Barnabas House. Most people will sign up as individuals meaning you will all be in the same situation joining together as Team St Barnabas. How fit do I need to be? This trek has been designed to be challenging but achievable by anyone, as long as you train beforehand. Remember, you are trekking for five consecutive days the fitter you are the more you will enjoy this challenge. Trekking training tips can be found on the Global Adventure Challenges website to point you in the right direction. St Barnabas House will invite you along to group training walks to aid your training and meet some of the trek team. Where will we stay?

Whilst on the trek we will be camping all tents and camping equipment will be provided but participants are expected to bring their own sleeping bags. Do I need specialist kit? We will supply you with a suggested kit list of what to take once you register to take part. Apart from some broken in trekking boots, sleeping bag and maybe some trekking poles, you do not need any specialist kit. Do I have to carry my own luggage? No. Participants will only have to carry a day pack (for items such as sun-screen, water, sun hat, and camera) and your kit bag will be carried from camp to camp. You will be able to leave your main piece of luggage at the hotel in Dharamsala. Food matters... All meals will be provided except lunch on Days 2, 3, 9 and 10, as these meals fall in free time.

A UK doctor will also be travelling with the group offering additional medical support. What happens if I get tired? There will be regular rest stops for drinks and snacks there is no problem if you need to take more rest stops. A guide will be bringing up the rear of the group ensuring no-one is left behind remember though, this is not a race!
8 Will the altitude affect me? Altitude sickness can occur at heights over 2,500m above sea level. However, the more severe symptoms of altitude sickness only tend to occur at altitudes of 3,600m and above. Your physical fitness will not affect your ability to cope with the altitude. However, the fitter you are the better you will cope whilst in the mountains. Altitude sickness is caused by decreased oxygen concentration in the blood due to the lower atmospheric pressure at altitude. All individuals are affected differently, but symptoms can include breathlessness, nausea and headaches. Please be assured that this trek has been designed to maximise your chances for sufficient acclimatisation i.e. the speed at which we trek, the route taken and the number of highly trained experts in the support team. Tell me about the fundraising challenge? Part of the challenge is raising the sponsorship money to help St Barnabas House expand its care services through its Hospice Care Pioneers initiative. To take part in the challenge you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of 299 to secure your place and then commit to raising a minimum sponsorship of 2,800. The first installment of 80% ( 2,240) of the minimum sponsorship money, must be paid to St Barnabas House at least 12 weeks before the departure date of the challenge (26 July 2018). The remaining must be paid at least two weeks before departure (4 October 2018). We can offer you support for your fundraising, giving you ideas and tips along the way. 2,800 may seem like a lot to raise but if you break it down into small chunks and start fundraising straight away it is achievable. To give you a rough idea, here are a few tips on how you could raise 1,000: Set up a JustGiving page and send to your contacts = 200 Hold a collection at a supermarket = 250 Organise a summer barbecue and charge 20 friends 10 entry = 200 Hold a coffee morning and raffle at work = 250 Arrange a sweepstake on a major sporting event = 100 How do I go about raising sponsorship? Once you have signed up, we will be in touch to help support you with your fundraising. We will send you a fundraising pack full of ideas to make your fundraising as easy as possible and will be available along the way to help you maximize your fundraising activities. I am interested... what do I do now? Places are limited and go on a first come, first served basis so try to register as soon as you can! Register at or request a paper registration form to post back to Global Adventure Challenges along with your 299 registration fee. Once your registration is received, Global Adventure Challenges will write to you sending you further information on what to expect from this awesome adventure! St Barnabas House will also be in contact to discuss your fundraising. To find out more please contact: St Barnabas House Events Team events@stbh.org.uk Registered Charity Number:
