Remote Himalayan Adventure Trek

For an authentic, off-the-grid adventure away from overcrowded tea-house paths, Nepal offers incredibly rugged, raw wilderness circuits. The Upper Dolpo Circuit, Kanchenjunga Circuit, and Makalu Base Camp Trek stand out as the definitive pinnacles of remote and adventurous trekking in Nepal. These routes challenge your physical endurance while delivering pure solitude, ancient cultures, and dramatic high-altitude landscapes. There are two styles of trekking: tea house and camping. Tea house trek involves staying in lodges while in camping trekkers stay and prepare food in camps. We organize both tea house and organized trek in all trekking areas of Nepal and design tailor made programs based on your time, budget and interest.

Flagship Itinerary

Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek

Also called the Dhaulagiri Round, this is one of Nepal's hardest camping treks, crossing French Col (5,360m) and Dhampus Pass (5,240m) — both above 5,000m — around the world's seventh-highest mountain. The route runs from Darbang through Gurung and Magar villages up the Myagdi Khola valley to Italian Base Camp, across the Chonbarden glacier to Dhaulagiri Base Camp (4,700m), then over French Col into the barren, rain-shadowed Hidden Valley before descending via Dhampus Pass to Jomsom.
