WWF‑Australia is committed to building a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. Your fundraising efforts on this trip will help save some of the planet’s most magnificent species by: # Protecting, managing and restoring vital habitats # Reducing local and global threats like the illegal wildlife trade and animal poaching # Strengthening government policy for species and their habitats # Empowering local communities to save species. How you are helping the tigers: # Restoring fragmented areas of habitat so tigers can move between them # Strengthening anti‑poaching patrols around nature reserves # Reducing conflict between people and tigers # Reducing poaching and illegal trade of live tigers and tiger parts # Ensuring conservation laws are enforced Your support will also help fund other essential WWF conservation work around the world. As a fundraiser for WWF‑Australia, you are part of a proactive community of more than five million people world‑wide who have made a choice to contribute to a more positive future, in which humans live in harmony with nature. who will my fundraising impact? With your help, we can save wild tigers. WWF is a partner in the Global Tiger Initiative which has set an ambitious but achievable goal of doubling the number of tigers in the wild by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger. We are concentrating our efforts on protecting key landscapes where the big cats have the best chance of surviving and increasing over the long‑term. By saving tigers, we also save the biologically rich and diverse landscapes where they still roam ‑ Asia’s last great rainforests, jungles and wild lands. These forests are home to thousands of other species, people and the food, freshwater and flood protection that local communities need to survive. Just how many tigers are left in the wild – and where? With numbers at an all‑time low, there are five subspecies that WWF is fighting to save: Amur (or Siberian) tiger, Bengal tiger, Indochinese tiger, Malayan tiger, and Sumatran tiger. These remaining subspecies live only in Asia, and all are threatened by poaching and habitat loss. The aim is to double wild tiger populations from 3,200 in 2010 to at least 6,000 by 2 – © Australian World Expeditions Pty Limited - Fiona Windon 9/12/2014 11:48:44 AM trek for tigers in india Combine the excitement of the trekking in Indian Himalayas with a tiger project in Corbett National Park and raise vital funds for WWF 2022. Sadly, we’ve already lost at least three of the world’s tiger subspecies (the Bali, Javan, and Caspian) – and possibly four, as the South China tiger is considered to be probably extinct in the wild. #Did you know? Tiger stripes are like human fingerprints. No two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. your adventure Nag Tibba is the closest 3000 metre (10,000 foot) peak to the Indian Plains and a worthy objective for a first time trek to the Indian Himalaya. We combine this introductory trek with time out in the historic Himalayan hill station of Mussoorie with an opportunity to visit Rishikesh and wander the riverbank where the Ganges emerges from the Himalayan foothills to the Indian Plains. The trek to Nag Tibba ascends through farming settlements and magnificent oak, conifer and rhododendron forest to an alpine glade that affords easy access to Nag Tibba with its remarkable views of the huge snow capped peaks of the Garhwal Himalaya. From 3000 metres we return via Mussoorie to Rishikesh and share the aspirations of the countless Hindu pilgrims as they pay homage alongside the sacred Ganges as it commences its long and meandering course across the vast and ancient Gangetic Plains. Finishing the challenge with tiger spotting in their natural habitat at Corbett National Park and to see first hand monies being raised for the projects. fundraising options There are a number of ways you can approach your fundraising: 1. You can choose to pay for the travel costs yourself and just fundraise the charity donation. 2. You can opt to fundraise the entire amount – the travel cost and the charity donation. You must make sure that funds raised for the travel cost are done so independent of the charity and that donors understand that their donation will be directed towards your travel expenses and are not tax deductible. 3. Lastly you can attempt to fundraise as much as you can in the given time and personally fund the balance of the total. When fundraising for the charity donation component of this challenge you must seek permission of your charity before beginning to fundraise in their name. Huma Charity Challenge can assist you with this by advising contact person. Once you have registered on this challenge you will receive our comprehensive Confirmation Kit that includes a Fundraiser’s Guidebook, a great resource for fundraising ideas and support. online fundraising portal The team at WWF will be in touch with you upon registration to give you the details of the online fundraising page and to support you in your fundraising journey.

Designed by the builder of the Taj Mahal, Shah Jehan, the Red Fort is famous for its delicate carvings and Royal chambers. The Raj Ghat is the cremation ground of the father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Humayun’s Tomb is believed to have been designed in 1565 AD by the widow of Mughal emperor Himayun. Its design and layout is based on the description of Islamic paradise gardens and is known to have inspired the Taj Mahal and many later Mughal tombs. The Qutab Minar has walls inscribed with intricately carved quotations from the Koran and is one of the most perfect towers of the Persian world. meals: B,L,D DAY 3To Mussoorie An early morning departure from New Delhi station boarding the Shatabdi Express to Dehra Dun at the foothills of the Himalayas.

On arrival, we have the opportunity to visit the ancient wooden temple at Deolsari before completing the short walk (less than an hour) to the nearby village of Aunter (1750 m).

It’s exotic, romantic and geographically diverse – from the Himalayan mountains and wide deserts in the north to lush rainforests and sandy beaches in the south. Its people (now numbering over a billion) are predominantly Hindu although the Islamic culture also integral to the Indian culture. Some of the most impressive temples have been built by the smaller Jain and Buddhist communities. Although more than a thousand languages are spoken, English is the second language and is widely taught in Indian schools. climate When trekking in early spring (March through to middle April) anticipate day time temperatures 10 to 20C. At night, at our high camp below Nag Tibba temperatures may drop to zero. In consequence of this we provide good tents, sleeps bags and down jackets on the trek a typical day On trekking sections of our trips in the Himalaya you will be woken with a cup of tea brought to your tent at around 6:00 am, followed by a small bowl of warm water for washing. Then, before breakfast, you will pack up your gear, bearing in mind that your sleeping bag will also have to fit into your duffle bag. Pack your sleeping mat into its stuff sack and ensure that your tent is free of rubbish and ready for the next camp. Your duffle bag will then be taken and tied up with other gear into a load, which will be packed on to the awaiting packhorses. We are usually on the trail by 7:00 am and try to complete our trek by lunchtime. Once we have reached camp and the kitchen is set up, a light lunch is prepared, leaving us with the rest of the afternoon free to explore the nearby villages or undertake a side option. Tea and donuts/pakoras are prepared at 4:30 pm. Dinner is usually served around 7:00 pm. Remember to bring your water bottle to the dining tent so it can be filled by the kitchen staff during dinner. Trekking evenings afford some of the best memories of your trek, whether it is sitting around talking, playing cards, chatting with the staff or visiting the local people, it is always a very special time. 7 – © Australian World Expeditions Pty Limited - Fiona Windon 9/12/2014 11:48:44 AM trek for tigers in india Combine the excitement of the trekking in Indian Himalayas with a tiger project in Corbett National Park and raise vital funds for WWF what you carry In your daypack you will need to carry extra warm clothing (depending on the altitude, location and weather), a rainjacket, water bottle, film and camera gear, valuables and personal items such as sunscreen, lip‑eze etc. Porters carry all group gear and your trek pack. equipment required Specialist gear required include lightweight walking boots and day pack (a comprehensive gear list is provided in the pre‑departure information provided on booking). what’s not included Items of a personal nature such as phone calls, laundry,etc Aerated and alcoholic drinks on trek tips visa travel insurance info nights Come and join us on one of our free Info Nights and learn more about your Charity Challenge.
