Just this February we ran our Cultural Safari in Springtime.  A bit of a novelty for us but it was magical.  Ploughing and planting everywhere and not too hot.  The views were hidden by clouds a lot, which was disappointing.  We can count on great views in early December and would recommend that time if anyone wants us to run a Cultural Safari for them.  We need a group of four; so, do you have three friends who would love to go back to Nepal but do not want to trek?

The report of this trip is posted  on the Trek Reports page.  Worth a read if you are thinking of joining us.   Lived experience so much more useful than promises.

This season we want to trek up to Muktinath, again.   We love this area.  The huge mountains, such as Daulaghiri, Anapurnas I, II, II and IV, Nilgiri, Machapuchre, will blow you away.  Redefines ‘awesome’.   The countryside is incredibly diverse on this trip.  I am deliberately calling it a ‘trip’ and not a ‘trek’ at this point because I want to encourage people, like myself, whose fitness is just not up to strong steep trekking, to come with us.   Almost every day there is a jeep option, though the road is usually miles from the trekking trails.  Ekki will lead the trekkers, with Lahar Pun as guide, and I will organise transport for the ‘trippers’ when it is needed.  In the higher reaches of the Kali Gandaki valley, the trails are often flat and easy, meaning even those of us with limited abilities can trek some of the days, or part of it.  Ekki, Helen Walker and I set this trek up in 2024.   I think, from memory, that we trekked about 5 of the nine days we set out on.   Of course, this year’s trek is much more ambitious.  Trekking in from near Pokhara and coming over Gorepani.   The trippers would meet the trekkers in Tatopani for their first rest day.    Here is the planned itinerary.   It is not yet confirmed, so input is still welcome.   We could also easily organise for you to do only a part of this trip, joining or leaving by flight out of Jomsom. 

YOU COULD DO THIS!!!
Cheers,
Teresa and Ekki
