Trekking Adventures

'Shangri-La', 'The Rooftop of the World' - locked away in its Himalayan fortress, Tibet has long exercised a siren's hold on the imagination of the West and was inaccessible to the outside world until recently. Among the natural beauty and amidst the bustle of sacred pilgrimages, travelers to Tibet embark upon an experience markedly unlike any other in the world. Follow the paths of the pilgrims and the range of the nomads to the sacred mountains and high plateaus of this mystical land. From Everest to Kailash our trekking adventures take you to some of the wildest and unexplored regions of the world and face to face with the highest and most sacred peaks on earth. These journeys present opportunities for challenge, cultural awareness, and personal transformation as well as inspiring awe and reverence for the spiritual sanctuaries that these places represent.
