FOR Marty Dixon and Roslyn Scot, trekking above the clouds in Nepal wasn't just to tick the climb off their bucket list.

Instead, the Capricorn Coast locals and a group of friends made the journey to a remote village to donate money, helping them rebuild after the devastating earthquakes in 2015 that destroyed many parts of the country.

They'll share their story tonight with Livingstone Shire residents, who will have the chance to hear first hand about their life-changing adventure when the popular Armchair Travel series returns to the Yeppoon Library.

Every year, legions of travellers are drawn to the high-altitude treks of the Nepalese Himalaya - a land seemingly frozen in time where locals carve out a centuries-old existence on the rocky slopes of the world's highest mountains.

In October last year, the group spent almost three weeks trekking to Annapurna Base Camp and the surrounding foothills of the tenth highest peak on the planet.

"After the devastating earthquakes in April 2015, Roslyn - who has been trekking in Nepal previously - called us all together and we decided to organise a local fundraiser and donate the money to our guide's family," Marty said.

"He is from a village called Kadambas and following some generous donations and a fundraising dinner at Kanangra Heights, we were able to take over around $7000 which was very satisfying. Following the 14-day trek our guide actually invited us back to his village to stay with his family and we could see first hand the damage that had been caused by the earthquake; the school had been demolished and houses were simply patched up with makeshift repairs so families could keep a roof over their heads. Because of the widespread damage, it seemed that the money wasn't making it to the rural villages so we were able to deliver some funding where they need it most."

Marty and Roslyn will explain details of the walk itself, how they trained and the logistics involved.

"I just fell love with the place and the people so I'm really looking forward to sharing our experiences and enjoying a delicious Nepalese chai," Marty added.
