Walking & Wellness in the Himalayas
This trip through Nepal is all about striking the right balance: breathing in the fresh mountain air, tapping into the country’s spiritual side, and enjoying good food and good company along the way. The Himalayas is the perfect place for memorable yoga sessions, wonderful walks, and moments of pure relaxation, but it’s not all about wellness. There’s plenty of time to delve into cultural intricacies and go on adventures – paragliding, anyone? – as well as sip wine at supper.

In Our Travellers’ Words
Experience in Nepal
Our itinerary was stimulating and varied. It coincided with the festival of Tihaa or Diwali and therefore allowed us to experience a special family time of year. Our guide, Anup, was charming and knowledgeable. He invited us to join his family for their special Diwali celebrations ,which was such a memorable experience and also a privilege. Trekking in the Annapurna foothills was a significant part of our two week visit. The chance to trek from Lodge to Lodge, and to see the village way of life was fascinating. We would thoroughly recommend ETG for their attention to detail in creating a perfect holiday.
