MAD World Challenge India

From ancient kingdoms to majestic mountain vistas, you will be amazed as you trek around 100kms over 5 days in the shadows of the snowcapped Indian Himalayas.

Trek high passes through pine and rhododendron forests to a 17th century fort, a look-out point for the Maharaja’s kingdom, which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the area.  

Visit the impressive Sherabling Monastery with its 3-storey high gold-plated Buddha.

Witness a way of mountain life that has largely remained unchanged for centuries and join in with some of the cultural customs culminating in your final celebratory evening with a traditional mountain feast.

Throughout this challenges you will also have workshops and hear stories from our Wellbeing Director Thomas Duncan Bell and our expert mental health facilitators Geoff McDonald, Petra Velzeboer, Marteka Swaby and Clarke Carlisle, who will all support you to understand more about who you are, how to be more connected human beings and engage you in how they are able to live a more sustainably happy lifestyle with tips and tricks they’ve learned along the way. 

Please ensure that before applying to join the challenge, you read the Trip Notes in full.  The challenge will test you physically as you trek for 7-9 hours a day, and mentally with camp life for five days.  By reading the trip notes, you will be fully informed as to what the challenge entails so you can enjoy every aspect of the trip.
