The Great Himalayan Trail 2015 – the first Polish transition
Joanna Lipowczan and Bartosz Malinowski plan to cross over 1700 km the Grat Himalayan Trail, running from east to west Nepal. They are going to do it by wandering the mountain route as a standalone unit which will not benefit from the support of sides, porters and cooks.
Objectives: In addition to the transition which will be the first European and Polish transition, the expedition will draw the attention to two very important aspects of trekking in the Himalayas. The first issue is about responsible mountaineering – to overcome the 1700 km in the name of the Code of Conduct of the Great Himalayan Trail, whose motto is: Take only memories, leave only traces of your feet. The second issue are the living conditions in the remote and inaccessible regions of the Himalayas. We support the idea of the Great Himalayan Trail as an opportunity to improve the living and economic conditions of the local population. We want to show that the Himalayas have to offer more than the popular regions of Annapurna and Everest.
About the route: The Great Himalayan Trail is one of the longest and highest points of the hiking trails in the world and includes the entire range of the Himalayas of Nepal. Nepalese part of the track is divided into 10 segments having an average length of 2-3 weeks each march. Routes can be driven consecutively or independently. The hiking trail route runs between altitudes of 3000 m above the sea level and 5000m above the sea level, has a length of about 1700 km and lands through the amazing alpine scenery and some of the more distant geographically human settlements where the life goes like centuries ago. Mountain path leads through high passes (6146 m above the sea level on the highest point of the route) and the time it takes to overcome it is about 150 days. The mountain route is located near Kangaczendzonga Base Camp and ends in Hilsa on the border of Tibet and Nepal, Humpla district in western Nepal. The beginning of the expedition is planned for the second half of August 2015 and should end no later than the beginning of January 2016.
