My trek around the Annapurna Circuit with Cherie Horne Adventure Trekking is one of the best things I have ever done. The landscape, villages, the local people were fantastic. Cherie brings together a team of like minded people and sets about bringing out the best in all of us. From the 8 week pre trek training and along the 22 day adventure Cherie's personal attention to our well being is incredible. She does everything possible to make sure we have the most amazing experience and succeeds! This is my second trip with Cherie and I'm already planning my next one. Her knowledge, her personal attention, her fun spirit and determination to ensure everyone has the best possible experience means I will keep coming back for more. It helps me to have something wonderful to aim for; so where to for the next adventure? I'll be asking Cherie!

Last September I travelled to Everest Base Camp with Cherie Horne as our guide and leader and it was by far the best experience of my life. Cherie took care of every aspect of our journey from the moment I signed on to the trip with a phone call to welcome me and set up our pre trek training plan right through until we arrived home. Cherie's training was superb, she is an expert high performance coach and she knows exactly what it takes to be prepared for a long walking trip and the preparation for trekking in high altitude. I was a bit apprehensive about coping in high altitude but with Cherie training me on the altitude machine over 8 weeks I gained confidence as I learned what it might feel like to trek in a high altitude. We also got to meet the other members of the team and train together for 8 weeks before the trip. This was a great way to get to know the other team members and Cherie is a master of bringing people together and working together. I didn't expect this level of dedication from our trekking guide and high performance coach but Cherie's commitment to our wellbeing was incredible and I felt so confident because she had prepared me and the team so well. Cherie's level of expertise is of such a high level that I felt safe and in very capable hands for the entire trip. I can tell you that Cherie is one of the strongest and fittest people on the mountain. Her abilities are legendary and I saw this first hand when I would hear other trekkers say "oh you're the Australian guide with the red pack that everyone is talking about!" I loved this trip so much that I am going back this year to trek around Annapurna with Cherie and five other members from our Everest Base Camp team and some new team members...I can't wait! I highly recommend Cherie to you whether you want to improve your fitness and well being or trek around beautiful parts of the world, Cherie Horne is the person you want looking after you. You will be grateful for her expertise, commitment and care. Oh and I lost 6 kgs on the trip whilst eating 3 times more than I usually do at home, how good is that!! Give Cherie a call, it's worth it.
