March 13, 2009 - Announcing this in a company press release, Mr. Gerard O'Donovan the CEO of Noble Manhattan and the man behind the Noble Quest initiative said that the expedition will be a life transforming two-week adventure trip to an exotic part of the world with a little bit of physicality thrown in and a lot of adventure. The first trip of the Noble Quest will be to the Far East countries of Vietnam and Cambodia. This will be a one of a kind journey which will include a visit to the religious places of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, spending time getting to know the peoples and culture of Vietnam and Cambodia and also an adventurous mountaineering session. The trip will also include a visit to Preah Khan, a huge and interesting monastic complex, Neak Pean, a Himalayan-style lake and sanctuary and East Mebon, a temple-mountain.
Mr. O'Donovan said that the idea of Noble Quest is to transform people's lives by spirituality, adventure and understanding the social fabric of an unknown land. It will help people to re-discover themselves with the help of a spiritual guru who will be accompanying the team members on the trip. Mr. Scott Milway, one of a small number of trainers from the Deepak Chopra organisation will be teaching all members the full Primordial Sound Medication Course and leading a daily meditation session. The unique 14 day expedition will start from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam and team members leave Vietnam for the United Kingdom at the end of day 13.
Mr. O'Donovan said that the uniqueness of the Noble Quest programme is also about charity as much as it about spirituality. Members of the expedition have the option of donating to the charity run by the Noble Foundation. The cost of the expedition excluding flight charges are £1600. However, members are encouraged to raise a figure of £3500. The additional sum will be donated to charitable causes through the Noble Foundation. Mr. O'Donovan in his release said that members have the chance to book their place in this expedition for a sum of £320. Since the number of members for the expedition will be limited to 25, booking in advance will help to confirm the slots. Mr. O'Donovan said that he expects the booking for this expedition to be completed within the next couple of months.
The itinerary will include a climb of the highest mountain in Vietnam, Mount Fan Si Pan. This extraordinary event by a large group will be adequately highlighted. Members can ask for donations from local businesses and organizations who may be interested to highlight their business or organization atop Mount Fan Si Pan and associate themselves with Noble Quest. The arduous climb of the mountain and visit to different temples in Angkor in Cambodia, makes this expedition a true combination of spirituality combined with physical challenges. The sessions by Scott Milway, visits to the villages of Vietnam and interacting with the local people puts this expedition in a totally different niche. Mr. O'Donovan said that this trip is not complete without its share of celebratory dinner and visiting the ethnic markets in Cambodia and Vietnam. People who are interested in being a part of this unique expedition can visit the Noble quest website at http://www.noble-quest.com and get all information about the trip. Noble Quest will follow up with many more such expeditions each year. As a leader in life coaching, Noble Manhattan will bring all their experience to make this quest the most memorable journey of a lifetime for all the members.
