Trips
Every Himalaya trip we run
Each route comes in up to three tiers. Same valleys, same altitude rules, same planner. What changes is how you move, where you sleep and what you spend.
Filter by hive, tier, length or travel style. Prices are indicative 2026 'from' prices per person, twin sharing, from the trip's start point. Every trip can be changed: send us your month and budget.
