Grand Canyon Rafting- 6 & 7 Day Trips from Western River Expeditions on Vimeo.

Arizona - Upper Grand Canyon 6/7 Day Rafting Trip

Many see the awesome beauty of the Grand Canyon from the rim each year, but few venture into its depths to know the canyon in a deeply personal and intimate way from the river. Any who have ventured into the depths of the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River will tell you that this trip with Western River Expeditions was a true life-changing experience never to be forgotten.

There is not another adventure on Earth to compare with a 6 or 7-Day Grand Canyon rafting vacation in the upper section of the Grand Canyon from Lee's Ferry to Whitmore Wash with Western River Expeditions.

The raw power of the rapids on the Colorado River will feed your adrenaline, stone monoliths on every side will humble you, and hidden in the canyons along the river you'll discover Maiden Hair ferns in waterfall grottoes from a fairy tale that will tease you into a trance.

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.

Italy - Venice & The Veneto

The medieval town of Vicenza is our starting point for this varied Walk through the celebrated Veneto region of Italy.

The opulence of the Venetian empire is contrasted with the trenches and tunnels of the First World War as we journey across alpine meadows, and through mountain villages and woods. We take a private boat tour of Venice, visit two of Palladio's magnificent villas and explore old Marostica, still surrounded by its ancient walls.

In the mountain resort of Asiago we taste the famous cheese; in Bassano we sample grappa at the Nardini distillery and cross the wooden Palladian bridge, Ponte degli Alpini.
