Hello everyone, my name is Valery.

I want to tell you about my cherished desire. I really love active rest, I go in for snowboarding, biking, trekking. I always wanted to do something outstanding, to find a limit to my abilities, endurance and willpower. Something about what in old age to tell the children and grandchildren).
In the mountains of Nepal lies the track "around Annapurna", it is considered the highest mountain track, available without special climbing training. Its highest point is 5416 meters above sea level. Although the track is not considered difficult, it often kills people. So in 2014 because of the bad weather on the pass "Torung La" killed more than 40 people.
I want to drive the track around Annapurna by bike! I want to conquer this altitude and ride a bicycle where the sky is so close that you can reach it.
The most suitable time for the bike ride is February-March 2018. Now I'm preparing, doing physical exercises to master this height.
I need your help!
Help me to make this trip and I'll make a film about my ascent, how the will leads a person to his desires, no matter how anything to achieve his goal.
I will be accompanied by my girlfriend. We have bicycles and equipment, we need help with tickets, visas, permissions and accommodation.
I wish you happiness!

P.S.
In 2015, a strong earthquake occurred in Nepal, many families were left without housing. Tourism - the main income in this country. All the money that we spend in Nepal will bring real benefits to the victims.
