Every trekker’s dream trip in the heart of the Himalaya.

In partnership with the Portland-based Mazamas hiking and climbing club: Journey with us to a place that will be physically, emotionally, and mentally compelling — from jungle to Tibetan plateau.

This will be a 19 day trip, fully supported by local guides and porters. It includes 13 days of trekking in the Annapurna Sanctuary, the very heart of the amazing Annapurna Massif, home to more than 30 individual peaks, some over 26,000’ in elevation.

We will  visit numerous Garung villages along the way and stay overnight at two of the massif’s many climbing base camps, including Machhapuchhre (summit elevation 22,943’) at 12,139’ and Annapurna South (summit elevation 23,684’) at 13,550’.

The remaining days will be available to explore on our own in exotic and chaotic Kathmandu and the charming, lakeside city of Pokhara, the two largest population centers in Nepal.

The trip will be led by Jim Ronning, a member of Mazamas and an experienced Embark trip leader.

Package includes: 2 sets of Leki Trekking poles. 12-pack of Trail Butter.

Cost is $2995.
