An amazing and unique opportunity to visit the rarely seen north side base camp of Annapurna. This is a very special trek for a very special cause.

Meet the climbing team and help support the philanthropic causes of the expedition by joining a wonderful hike into Annapurna Base Camp. We will be traveling through some of the most beautiful and remote areas of the Himalaya en route to Annapurna. As the famous British explorer Bill Tilman said of the Annapurna region."it is the most mountainous region, of a very mountainous country".

From the capital city of Kathmandu we will fly to the lakeside town of Pokhora- Nepal's second largest city. We will begin hiking from Pokhora and our trek will take us through lowland forests, magnificent terraced agricultural areas, and into the high mountains of the famed Annapurna region. Very few outsiders travel to the north side of Annapurna, and this is truly a remote and beautiful area, surrounded by the world's tallest mountains. Along the way we stay in local villages and enjoy the hospitality of the Nepal people. This trek is as much a cultural experience as it is a mountain travel experience.

Lodging in five star hotels while in Kathmandu and a full support staff of porters and Sherpa cooks and guides while trekking is included.
