Around Annapurna

Trek the Annaurna massif

This trek travels around the entire Annapurna massif, visiting the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalaya and the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge. Much of the trek is through lowland country, but there is one high pass, Thorung La.

The pass is not difficult, but this is still a long trek at high elevation. The change of scenery at the limits of Thorung Pass and the remains around the sacred area of Muktinath are also extremely interesting. The many hotels and tea houses along the course make camping equipment unnecessary.

We have also combined this trip with Ghale Gaon. A unique experience of Nepalese Culture and lifestyle, Ghale Gaon is home to Ghales, the famed Gurungs, the legendary mid-hill people of western Nepal. As people say, they come to Nepal for the mountains, but return for the people. Besides the extravaganza of the peaks, the warm and sincere hospitality of the Gurung, Manangi and Thakali people you meet along the way is also bound to captivate and touch you.

Comfortable rooms with clean restrooms are available at selected Gurung houses and other lodges along the way.. There are a few Pahuna Ghar (Guest Houses) belonging to the Aama Samuha (Mother´s Community) that also provide accommodation.

France - The Historic Dordogne

More than a delightful destination or a gourmand's dream. The Dordogne region in Southwestern France is a sanctuary where 20,000 years of French history are preserved. We see fossils, artifacts and the renowned cave paintings of primitive wildlife by the Magdalenian peoples who flourished in Europe from 18,000 to 10,000 BC. Medieval castles, Romanesque churches and grand chateaux dot the landscape. A river runs through it the mighty Dordogne flows past dense forests, farmlands and riverbanks bursting with blooms. The beautiful village of La Roque Gageac dates from the Middle Ages. Built into a cliff, its houses are reflected in the clear waters of the river. The region's farms are a cornucopia of fresh fruits and vegetables, rich paté and cheeses spilling from the markets.
