Central Nepal

The Kali Gandaki Explorer: A Himalayan Transect
Nepal --- Trekking*Wildlife*Culture --- 22 days
We thought it would be fun to travel across the entire Himalayan Mountain range, so last year we gave it a try and now we’re offering it to you. The trip starts north of the Himalaya on the Tibetan Plateau and we trek, raft, and drive our way along the Kali Gandaki River (through the World's deepest gorge, between the Annapurna and Dhualagiri ranges) to the flat terai region south of the Himalaya. We’ve combined the very best of trekking, rafting, and safari along with stops to some rarely visited quaint hilltowns, for a truly unique adventure in Nepal.

Nepal Explorer (A)-Annapurna Region
Trekking*Wildlife*Culture --- 17 days
This tour does it all! We'll explore the ancient cities of the Kathmandu Valley, do a classic trek into the Annapurna Range, and finish up in the jungles of  Royal Chitwan National Park for a wildlife adventure. This is one of our favorite tours, great for both the fledgling and the aficionado Nepal traveler.

Inside Annapurna
Trekking --- 21 days
This is the classic ascent to Annapurna Base Camp, deep in the heart of the Annapurna Range. We'll go from the lush jungles in the lower reaches of the Annapurna range to the snowy Annapurna Base Camp (14, 200 ft) with unparalleled views of such favorites as Annapurna I (26,545 ft) and Machhapuchhare (22,942 ft.).

Mustang: Festivals in the Forbidden Kingdom
Nepal --- Trekking*Natural Science*Culture --- 23 days
This trip is a once in a lifetime chance. We'll venture into the once forbidden Kingdom of Mustang (the home of the Lo people) on what is sure to be a magical mix of undisturbed Tibetan buddhist culture, modern scientific understanding, and the austere beauty in this land lost in time. This is a special trip to the incredible Tiji Festival in the walled city of Lo Manthang.

Langtang Adventure
Trekking --- 22 days
The Langtang region was Nepal's first Himalayan national park, and for good reason! Nowhere else is so much high mountain landscape accessible with such ease and with so few tourists. This is an extended trek which takes us through numerous Tamang villages (Tibetan related peoples), to multiple glaciers, and along beautiful alpine lakes.

Temples and Tigers
Trekking*Wildlife*Culture -- 15 days
The traditional and still most common way to get from one place to another in Nepal is to walk. It is an integral facet of Nepalese culture. This is the trip for those who want to experience Nepali life, but don't think they'll make it trekking in the high mountains.  On this trip, we'll trek in the relative lowlands around Kathmandu Valley, exploring the world-renowned temples of the Valley, then on to Chitwan for a spectacular wilderness adventure looking for wild rhinos, elephants, and tigers.


Eastern Nepal

Nepal Explorer (b) - Everest
Trekking*Wildlife*Culture --- 17 days
This tour does it all! We'll explore the ancient cities of the Kathmandu Valley, do a classic trek into the Everest Region, and finish up in the jungles of Royal Chitwan National Park for a wildlife adventure. This is one of our favorite tours, great for both the fledgling and the aficionado Nepal traveler.

Mera Peak
Trekking --- 23 days
Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal and offers fine views, pristine forests, alpine lakes, and of course a classic style Himalayan climb to a staggering 6476 meters. We've planned this trip with plenty of extra time for acclimatization, mountaineering skills workshops, and a chance to take in this awesome trek/climb.


Classic Everest
Trekking --- 22 days
This is the classic route to Everest Base Camp from the Nepal side. We'll stop just short of base camp and climb Kala Patar (18,190 ft). This is truly one of the finest scenes in the Himalayas, with dizzying views of Cho Oya (26,906 ft.), Nuptse (25,849 ft), and Everest (28,028 ft). We'll also have time to take in the legendary hospitality of the Sherpa people who inhabit this region.


Western Nepal
Mt. Kailas to Kathmandu
Trekking --- 26 days
Mt. Kailas is a sacred pilgrimage mountain in southern Tibet. This trek starts in remote far western Nepal. We'll wind our way through the front range of the Himalaya into Tibet, then up to Mt. Kailas. We'll make the pilgrimage around Kailas along with the buddhists pilgrims from all over southern Asia and Tibet.


Tibet
Lhasa-Kathmandu Tour
Touring --- 15 days
Travel the ancient trade route between the Indian Subcontinent and the Forbidden City of Lhasa. There are few other routes that have more mystique surrounding them than the road to Lhasa. We travel over 6 major passes and traverse the mighty Himalayas. This is one of the great touring trips in Asia, not to be missed!

Mt. Kailas to Kathmandu
Trekking --- 30 days
Mt. Kailas is a sacred pilgrimage mountain in southern Tibet. This trek starts in remote far western Nepal. We'll wind our way through the front range of the Himalaya into Tibet, then up to Mt. Kailas. We'll make the pilgrimage around Kailas along with the buddhists pilgrims from all over southern Asia and Tibet.


Bhutan
A Bhutan Short
Touring*Cultural --- 4 days
This is an add-on to any of our other tours. Visit the cultural sites of Paro and Thimphu, including the Ta Dzong, Simithoka Dzong, and the facinating cities themselves. This is perfect for a layover, or a pre/post trip extra!

Druk Cultural Tour
Touring*Cultural --- 8 days
Visit the sites of Bhutan in this non-trekking tour. We'll take you to the Taktsang Monastery perched on the edge of a 3000 ft cliff, the beautiful Thimphu Valley, the national painting school, and numerous other religious and cultural sites in the Shangri-La known as Bhutan. This is a great addition to one of our Tibet or Nepal tours and a great way to get a feel for Bhutan,

The Best of Bhutan
Touring*Culture* --- 15/18 days
This tour is a journey into the heart of Bhutan. Bhutan is a country steeped in Buddhism, where the forces of nature are severe, yet equally balanced with the lives and faith of the people. This is a leisurely tour, with plenty of time to look around and take-in the raw natural and spiritual beauty of this Shangri-La.
