The Expedition

Phase 1: Acclimatisation

On arrival in Nepal the group can spend a full day in Kathmandu to acclimatise. The city is brimming with history and culture. A day spent wandering through old streets, past fresh food market stalls and ancient temples is an amazing introduction to Nepal. After travelling onto Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna region, you can spend more time getting to know this brilliant country.

Phase 2: Trek

Nepal is famous for its mountains and of course its trekking, and no trek is more iconic than the incredible Annapurna trail! There are plenty of other treks to choose from if want shorter options, all with breath-taking views of the Himalayan mountain range. It is also an opportunity to experience the local way of life for the rural Nepalese people.

Phase 3: Project

Providing support to those who suffered in the effects of the recent earthquake would undoubtedly be invaluable. Time spent with a local community would allow a greater understanding of challenges faced by these people whilst you help them in the reconstruction of homes, community buildings or schools.

Phase 4: Culture & Review

Nepal has some great rivers, and one of the best ways to see them is to get the adrenalin going whilst rafting down some spectacular grade 3 rapids. When you get back to the capital, you can spend a day exploring the stunning city of Bhaktapur. The third largest city in the Kathmandu region, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its beautifully preserved palace courtyards and temples.
