Every year I offer an exciting trip to visit the Nepali Himalayas, I'm keen to visit other areas that are less travelled, more authentic and have an adventurous feel to them! I've visited the Khmubu region for many years now and have trekked all the variations there are, Gokyo will remain a firm favourite of that region, however it has become extremely busy in the last few years and for me detracts a little from the trekking in such an incredible place.  

2024 I'll be heading to the Langtang, Gosainkund and Helambu region.

This trek takes us to the glaciers below Langtang, perhaps one of the summits of Kyanjin Ri or Tsergo Ri for some magnificent panoramas and the spectacular holy lake at Gosainkund, an important place of pilgrimage, before heading into the Helambu region.

​

The Langtang region sees fewer visitors, it is an area of great natural beauty and pristine walking trails,  located close to the Nepal-Tibet border north of Kathmandu, the region offers a raw wilderness trekking experience and still retains its rustic charm, most of the villages along the Langtang trail still seem suspended in time.

​

In 2025 I'll be offering 2 exciting options...

Manaslu - The circular trip is regarded by many as Nepal’s best trek, it has everything you would expect from the Greater Ranges, spectacular views, unspoiled and hugely varied countryside, from rice terraces to spare Tibetan villages and from rich forest to a high pass crossing at just over 5000m.

​

The trek is both geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating, many of the upper regions communities are direct descendants of Tibet whilst the Larkya La Pass at 5160m is one of the most dramatic crossings in the Himalaya. Check out the video & blog from 2023 trip below...

​

Upper Mustang - This is trekking in Nepal 20 years ago and between the views, culture and the people of Upper Mustang, this has to be one of the most spectacular treks in the World. The former Buddhist kingdom of Mustang, stretching north from the Annapurna mountain range, is one of the most dramatic and exotic corners of Nepal. With its stunning landscapes and timeless Himalayan villages, Mustang is the stuff of trekking dreams.

​

The Khumbu region has over 60,000 trekkers visit over the year, Upper Mustang has approximately 3000.... this is an opportunity to explore the quieter, ancient and ‘Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang’ that has long been shrouded in mystery. Protecting its authentic Tibetan culture from outside influences, Mustang remained closed for many years to foreigners until it finally opened its doors in 1992, trekkers though were not allowed in until 1994.

2026 seems along way off, however I'm often asked about 'going a little higher'.....So a 6000m+ walking peak is planned for this year along with a revisit to the Langtang area
