Discover a greater sense of self and selflessness amongst some of the most enlightened peaks on Earth

We will immerse ourselves in the imposingly peaceful Buddhist and Hindu temples and holy sites present throughout the country. We will also spend a few days in a remote Nepali community working with school children and community leaders offering a cultural exchange and lasting service contributions. We will hike in the shadows of seven of the world’s highest mountains, which is as inspiring as it is humbling. Over 35 different ethnic groups call Nepal home. The result is a quilt of religions, languages, cultures, and foods that will tantalize and inspire. The beauty and serenity of the people, buildings, and of course the mountains and outdoors will have a lasting positive effect on all.
