Annapurna Family Trek

This trek is a unique cross-cultural experience that is both an educational adventure and a moderate physical challenge, sure to delight your whole family!

JOURNEYS’ objective is to make a very exotic and adventurous trip accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages. First, explore the lively city of Kathmandu, which boasts more World Heritage sites than any other city in the world. Then, during your eight days of hiking and camping, experienced Sherpas will guide you through the Annapurna region of central Nepal. Your trek includes moderate hiking with frequent stops to visit and interact in local communities and schools. After the trek, you can enjoy jungle elephant safaris and whitewater rafting, or extensions to other destinations in Asia can be easily arranged. You can select your own departure date at any time during the year.

Although previous family hiking and camping experience is helpful, you will not be "roughing it.” Hiking distances are based on slow-paced travel, and all travel is along well-used trails. Porters or pack animals carry most personal gear, food and equipment. Young children under 50 pounds will have the option of hiking or being carried in specially-designed porter baskets. All meals, camp chores and logistics are handled by JOURNEYS representatives and no mountaineering is involved. All in all, this is an easy and exciting family adventure!
