Beyond the trail
Nepal is more than the mountains.
The walking is the spine of a journey — rarely the whole of it. Most of ours pick up a second thread along the way.
Trek + Culture
High trails one week, UNESCO palace squares and living temples the next.
Trek + Wildlife
Come down off the mountain and into Chitwan — rhino, tiger, elephant grass.
Trek + Village life
Nights in a farming village, in someone's home rather than a lodge.

Trekking
Find your trail.
Ten routes we walk ourselves — from a seven-day ridge under Machapuchare to the long way round Manaslu.
Stillness & calm
Come for the walking. Stay for the quiet.
People have come to these mountains to think, and to stop thinking, for a very long time.
- Stillness
- Days with nothing in them.
- Clarity
- Thin air, quiet head.
- Mindfulness
- Slow mornings facing the range.
- Spirituality
- Monasteries still in daily use.
- Reflection
- The oldest thinking tool there is.
- Nature
- The Himalaya asks nothing of you.
We build these days into ordinary journeys too — no retreat required.
