Global Routes: Summer in Nepal

Trek to Annapurna Base Camp in the Himalayas, staying in remote villages along the way, and experiencing true cultural immersion.

Nestled in high-altitude valleys and in close harmony with the land, small communities practice timeless agricultural and pastoral lifestyles. At the “roof of the world,” Nepal’s Langtang amphitheater is the looming backdrop for your village stay and community service project. The rich cultural and spiritual fabric of Nepal and the warm hospitality of the Nepalese people interweave to create an awe-inspiring appreciation for life’s beauty.

On this once-in-a-lifetime program with Global Routes, you’ll trek through breathtaking scenery but become even more enchanted by the fortitude, generosity of spirit, and resilience of the Nepalese communities we visit. More than just a trip, this is an opportunity to dive deeper and immerse yourself in a challenging summer-long experience that will transform how you think about the world around you.

• Trek for nine days to sacred, jewel-like lakes beneath breathtaking peaks in the Himalayas passing through timeless Tibetan villages along the way.
• Explore the rich cultural history and architecture of the ancient cities of Bhaktapur and Bodhnath.
