ADVENTURE TRAVEL & SELF EXPLORATION
The Journey Nepal
Far from a vacation, also not a retreat or (just) an activity based initiative, yet for sure a Journey to never forget…
Our Everest. A 21 day adventure inward and outside combining for the greatest impact. You will encounter a lot of humanness, probably more of yourself, adventure, laughter, frustration, joy, love, direction in life, vulnerability, courage, connection and blisters guaranteed.
If you’re looking for a trip with a group to Nepal combining the activities, seeking the adventure, connecting with the locals. At the same time valuing meaningful conversations that are being facilitated that provide real human connection.
We believe in the power of doing it together, while still walking your own path. An experience based Journey combining, group sessions, storytelling, volunteering, trekking and 1-on-1 sessions, get to speak and understand the Nepali culture.
Enough fluffy stuff, what’s practically waiting for you…

FAQ
Yes you can as long as the full amount is paid 1 month prior to departure. See the various options in the form to choose the one that suits you most.
In the cities we’re staying in Hostels. In Kathmandu it’s higher segment hostel in the middle of the city district and in Pokhara a bit outside of the centre with a beautiful chill area. During the trek we’ll be staying in teahouses, simple accommodations where we will eat and have breakfast before we head out.
Challenging but doable, we carry our own clothes and backpack. The Himalayas there’s a lot of ups and downs. They call it “Nepali flat”. HA. Anyways, we’ve taken people with vertigo and astma who were still able to pull it off. It’s more of a mental game, besides that, we will be preparing you as good as we can. Again, challenging but doable. You can always reach out to us if there’s a specific question regarding this.
Don’t worry be happy. Just send us a message to info@aneverendingjourney.com and we’ll get back to you asap.
