Annapurna Trails & Homestay

15 days, Grade B

This imaginative itinerary combines adventure and compassion providing you lasting memories of the Himalaya and allowing you to make a difference to a community in Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world. The first part of your holiday, an introductory trek in the Himalaya will allow you to explore the Annapurna region walking for five days through beautiful terraced villages and enjoy viewing the majestic Machhappuchare, Daulaghiri, and Annapurna mountains. The highlight of the trek will be a sunrise walk to the view point at Poon Hill, a classic place from which to enjoy the snow capped peaks of the massive Himalaya.

In Kathmandu you will have a chance to see the finest Newari architecture in the East, experience the hustle and bustle of the medieval type markets, explore the cobbled streets and temple complexes, before transferring to your community project. You then have the opportunity to experience a family stay & community project. What better way to get to know Nepal than stay with a family and work with the local community? We hope you will take away from this not only a deep understanding of the culture and way of life, but also a great feeling of satisfaction and an experience to treasure. click here to download trip notes >>
