Land Rover celebrated the success of the Mountain High team that returned from a trek across the world’s largest alpine pass located at a breathtaking 5416m at the Thorung La in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The team comprising 15 men and women aged between 33 and 69, spent 12 days conquering the Himalayan pass under challenging weather conditions and 50% less oxygen in the air at altitude.
The Nepal trek is the second stage of a Land Rover sponsored “Trek 4 Tsunami” project that Mountain High is conducting during 2005. The first stage of the project was the Palm Jumeirah Walkathon that helped raised Dhs 100,000 which is being used towards reconstruction projects in Sri Lanka.
Mountain High is a Dubai based company that was founded in 2003 by Julie Amer, a British Sports Science degree graduate based in Dubai. The company aims to encourage, inspire and motivate people to take charge of their health and well-being by being more active in the great outdoors and taking time out with nature. A balanced holistic approach to life is the back bone to Julie’s work with a strong focus on activities that clear and develop the mind, energize the body and nurture the spirit of adventure.
Land Rover is proud to be the official vehicle for Mountain High and has provided the company with an all-new LR3 vehicle for all their transportation needs throughout the year.
