Upper Mustang, Himalayan Expedition
Trekking through the ancient walled kingdom of Upper Mustang, sourcing wild juniper, visiting apple orchards, and sleeping in family-run teahouses the whole way through.
Do you find holidays a little dull? If luxury hotels miss the point and a sunny beach loses its charm after an hour, you might be the right person to join us. Our expeditions trek for days, sleep in local accommodation, and work hand in hand with the communities we visit, building schools and homes on arrival.
Six active routes, small groups, led by Rebecca. Bring boots, leave the luxury at home.
