Announcing Embark’s 2013-14 Group Trips
01.07.2013
2013 is going to be an inspiring year of travel and adventure for us at Embark, and we hope you will come along to share it with us.
Maybe the most exciting thing of all is that we’re starting to offer trips to Patagonia!
Here are the group trips we are offering in 2013, plus a few in 2014. As always, if the location appeals to you but the the dates don’t work, just get in touch us. We can always do individual, custom trips to these amazing places.
April, 2013: Nepal’s Annapurna Circuit Trek
This is one of the premier walks in the world: hike through a remote, roadless valley at the foot of some of the world’s highest mountains, staying in local tea houses along the way. It’s not just about the scenery, of course; the culture here has been maintained through stark isolation for hundreds of years. More info on trekking the Annapurna Circuit .
July, 2013: Touring Tibet, the Highest Land on Earth
From the ancient capital of Lhasa to mountain passes above 15,000 feet in elevation, Tibet’s mystery and majesty have captivated travelers for decades. Immerse yourself in “the roof of the world” on this two-week adventure, highlighted by a seven-day driving tour of the inspiring Tibetan countryside. More info on touring Tibet.
September, 2013, and January, 2014: Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
Embark was founded on the slopes of Africa’s highest peak, and we still love it to this day. We climb it the best way, via the seldom-visited Western Breach, allowing us to offer you a high success rate with very low foot traffic. Come and conquer the “everyman’s Everest” with us. More info on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Note: There are only three spots left on the 2013 Kilimanjaro trip! Contact us today to reserve your spot.
September, 2013: Tanzania Wildlife Safari
The bush is Africa’s living, beating heart, and we’ll take you right into the middle of it with this trip to multiple national parks. We combine a true wildlife adventure — the roar of lions, the charge of an elephant, the hunt of the leopard — with the modern comforts of a lodge. More info on Tanzanian wildlife safari.
October, 2013: Trek to Mount Everest Base Camp
Even a novice climber can walk right to the base of the world’s mightiest peak. But that’s just the destination of this world-class trek; the journey to it is magical, taking you along glacial streams, past towering rhododendrons, and into the vibrant Sherpa culture. More info on trekking to Everest Base Camp.
November, 2013 and February, 2014: Trekking the “W” Circuit in Patagonia
One reason we’re so excited about 2013 is that this year are debuting tips to Patagonia. This magnificent, windswept land at the planet’s southern edge combines awesome glaciers, wide open plains, and soaring granite peaks for some of the world’s finest hiking experiences.

November, 2013: Cultural Touring in Bhutan
This mountainous Buddhist kingdom was shrouded in mystery for centuries, and today, as it opens up, you don’t have to be a trekker or climber to experience its beauty. We’ll have you roaming the exquisite countryside, going on scenic walks, attending sacred festivals, and visiting ancient monasteries. More info on touring in Bhutan.
