What's On Himalaya Trek 2023

Join us in 2023 for this once in a lifetime adventure and explore the Annapurna region in the breath-taking Himalayas of Nepal.

About the trek

The highlight of our challenge will be to summit Poon Hill at sunrise at 3,210m – a majestic peak which offers trekkers an unobscured view of the highest peaks in the Annapurna region.

This is a 5 day trek with 2 days either side for travel, so it’s perfect for all ages and abilities. The minimum age to take part is 18, but 14-17 year olds can take part as long as they’re accompanied by a parent or guardian. Our accommodation whilst on the trek will be local tea houses, offering basic but charming comforts after a day of trekking. For a more detailed itinerary and information about the trek, please download the challenge brochure.
