WHERE?

Our experience starts and finishes in the vibrant Kathmandu, the centre of Nepal's history, art, culture, and economy. From here we explore as we make our way to the Annapurna base camp, stopping to adventure along the way.

Nepal is a diverse country, home to eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. During our experience we will be trekking to the basecamp of Annapurna, the 10th highest mountain in the world. We will be exploring the Kathmandu Valley including, Pashupatinath and Boudhanath (one of the largest Buddhist shrines). We will also be visiting and spending time in Pokhara, Ghandruk, Machhapuchare Base Camp, to Chomrung village and further to Jhinu Danda, Motkyu, Pokhara and Bhaktapur.

We will be traveling by foot for our treks and private group shuttles for our longer ventures.

WHAT?

Our adventure is all about experiencing the unique culture and spectacular landscapes. We have created this 13 day adventure touring from the city of Kathmandu, Nepal to heading North East to the basecamp of Annapurna (the 10th highest mountain in the world).  We will be immersing ourselves into the culture starting off with master guided  yoga sessions, temple tours with a Monk, mountain biking from Pokhara to Sarangkot, river rafting along the Trishuli River, visiting a local women's Co-Op in Pokhara and Momo, making (Nepalese Dumpling) lunch with Tibetan Refugee Ladies, Visiting a Mountain Museum, and spending 5 days trekking through villages, forests and mountains to reach the basecamp of Annapurna. Along our trek we will be accommodating in local Tea House/Lodges.

  • We believe that travel is a personal experience that impacts ourselves as well as those who live in the places we travel to. We are dedicated to volunteering and giving back to the locals and local organizations that we visit during our adventure. During this adventure we will be visiting a local women's Co-Op in Pokhara and making (Nepalese Dumpling) lunch with Tibetan Refugee Ladies.

WHEN?

  • November 6-18, 2026
  • Registration deadline | July 1, 2026
  • We operate this adventure on a minimum of 5 participants and a maximum of 15.

WHO?

For any adventurous humans who are looking to get away from the craziness of everyday life, challenge yourself to try new things in one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. Step outside your comfort zone, experience personal growth and a new culture. The Annapurna trek does require you to have a hiking fitness base. We are reaching high altitudes therefore an endurance base is highly recommended.
