Upon booking, you pay a (non-refundable) registration fee of $495. The travel cost (excluding flights) is $2,779*. The donation to Orygen is $2,500. This can be fundraised with the support of Soulful Concepts and Orygen. 

*Subject to change. Refer to Soulful Concepts terms and conditions.

There are many creative and fun ways in which you can fundraise. To help get you started, we’ve created an Online Fundraising Resource Hub containing an A–Z guide of fundraising ideas, “how-to” guides for events, sample press releases and corporate sponsorship letters. You’ll also have regular support from the Soulful Concepts team, who’ll help you develop a fundraising plan tailored to your network. In addition, you’ll be supported by Orygen and guided in setting up an online fundraising page.

Soulful Concepts will try to keep the travel costs as quoted. However, factors out of our control, such as group size, fluctuating exchange rates and increases in airfares, as well as airline and airport taxes, can affect travel costs. The travel cost will be confirmed again at the time of invoicing.

No, you can only raise the funds that are going to Orygen via your online page. If seeking support for your travel expenses, this must be raised through events and paid directly to Soulful Concepts. It’s essential that you’re transparent with supporters about where their donation is going, i.e supporting your travel or going directly to Orygen.

Yes, donations made to your fundraising page are tax-deductible. Any donation made where an item is received in return for a donation, i.e chocolates, auction items, raffle tickets, etc. is not tax-deductible. Donations to your travel expenses are not tax-deductible.

We recommend you have travel insurance in the strongest possible terms. When selecting a travel insurance product, please ensure it provides cover against personal accidents or injury, medical expenses, emergency repatriation and personal liability, cancellation for any reason, including bereavement, delayed flights and lost luggage or personal effects. 

In rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, we may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Evacuation is on foot (where the walker is physically capable) or by helicopter. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and, in most cases, are at your cost. 

For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it’s prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our travellers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. It’s also strongly recommended that our travellers take out travel insurance to cover (among other things) the costs associated with evacuation. 

Please note, if you’re an international resident, you’re required to obtain travel insurance and send us a copy of your policy for our records. 

You must advise us of any pre-existing medical conditions you may have at the time of booking and ensure you can get adequate travel insurance cover and medical sign off from your doctor prior to booking the tour. All travellers will need to complete our medical questionnaire 90 days prior to departure. It’s proof that you’re physically capable of undertaking the trekking challenge.  . 

Your challenge is ranked 3.5/5. These are long days of walking, sometimes on steep, uneven terrain. A person of moderate fitness who is willing to train will enjoy the challenge most. Training that includes hills, stairs and uneven natural trails will prepare you well for this adventure.

The minimum age for this adventure is 18, however younger ages are considered on application.

Upon registration, you’ll be required to pay a $495 registration fee to secure your spot on the team. The fee will cover the planning, fundraising and travel support received from Soulful Concepts in the lead up to your adventure.
