Itinerary:
In 2010 Celine Soulard attempted to cycle self- supported from Tajikistan, through Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, China and Tibet to Nepal - through the Pamirs, Tien Shan, across the Aksai Chin to Everest. Her six month journey took her through the very heart of Asia - on the way she met with some really amazing people who took her into their hearts – as well as fed her lunch! From 45C to -25C slowly carrying her heavy-laden bike through high altitude passes, howling winds, dangerous river crossings and endless miles of dirt road through breath-taking landscape. Come and listen to her tales of high adventure on the backroads of the Himalaya. If you’re interested in a sneak preview, check out her Blog at http://freewheelinghimalaya.blogspot.com.

Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!


Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
