April:
Nepal – Everest Base Camp
This 15-day hike up to Everest Base Camp is a classic for anyone hiking in the Himalayas or visiting Nepal for the first time. This trip can be completed by anyone in good physical shape, and does not require mountaineering skills. There is an optional Island Peak climb on this trip for those interested in mountaineering. This is a non technical 20,000 ft peak that looks at Everest.

June:

This trekking and cultural trip exploring the Andes, with visits to Lima, Isla Taquile, Isle Del Sol, La Paz, Tiahuanaco, and the snow-covered peaks around Tuni. This trip begins and ends in Peru, but spend a bulk of its time in Andes in Bolivia.

This exploratory trek will encompass 14 days of trekking in Western Mongolia’s rugged Altai Mountains, exploring the surroundings and meeting the nomadic Kazakh herdsmen, and keeping our eyes out for the elusive snow leopard. Email us to get on the mailing list.

October:
Bhutan – Chomolhari Trek
