Mystical Mountains of Nepal
You're invited on a journey through the valleys and villages of the magnificent Himalayas with your new group of wild friends, immersing in the vibrant culture of the Nepalese people and hiking through the snow caped mountains.
This trip will take you on an adventure through the different highlights of Nepal, from visiting the sites of Kathmandu, to white water rafting on the river, and trekking to the stunning Poon Hill lookout.
Here the towns are just as stunning as the luscious nature surrounding, splashed with vibrant colours of paint and nepalese prayer flags. Along the trek we will stay in local tea houses, having home cooked meals and heart warming drinks to nourish us along our journey. The tea houses will have comfortable beds and most will have hot showers. Many of these villages are inaccessible by road, only walking paths, and have only received electricity within the last few years through addition of solar panels. Their supplies are brought up the trails by donkeys and horses. On this journey you will be humbled by the traditional lifestyle of the Nepalese mountain people.
Our trek will take us through the villages of Nayapul, Tikhedhunga, Ghorepani, Ghandruk and Jhinu Danda, eventually arriving at the spectacular summit of Poon Hill. Here we will be wonderstruck with 360 degree views of the Annapurna ranges at sunrise, including the shiny peaks of several 8000m+ mountains. After our hike, we will finish with a rejuvenating bath in the Jhinu Danda hot springs to relax and heal our bodies with the mountain minerals.
This is a beginner level (but still challenging) trek, so we welcome all women who would love to start adventuring in the mountains. We will take the trek slowly with lots of breaks along the way, so don't worry about "holding the group up". However, in saying that, this trek will cover 38kms and has MANY stairs, so a moderate level of fitness is required. You should be able to walk continuously up a sloping hill with some stairs for 1-2 hours (with breaks).
