Treks and Trekking Tours

Himalayan Trekking

JOURNEYS has been operating treks in the Himalayas for 30 years. Himalayan trekking in Nepal, Bhutan or Ladakh involves mountain hiking supported by a staff and, often, pack animals to enable an extended trip through roadless terrain. JOURNEYS' style of trekking can include comfortable camping or overnighting in lodges or guest houses. You will have a local expert who speaks English and a capable cook who prepares tasty, safe, healthy hot meals. We have our favorite trekking routes, but we are also adaptable to your specific interests. Read our FAQ on Himalayan Trekking. We offer Mt Everest area treks year round.

Trekking in Peru and Chile

We also offer a superb version of the Inca Trail Trek in Peru and many other trips throughout the Andes, including Torres del Paine and other trek routes in Patagonia.

Kilimanjaro Climb

There is still time to reach the 19,000' summit of Kilimanjaro before the snows and glaciers melt! Climb Kilimanjaro with us anytime by any route. We use top-quality guides, and you will have excellent food and equipment during your climb. On all trips, the final ascent to the Uhuru Peak begins long before sunrise. All climbers are accompanied by official guides and porters regardless of the chosen route or the type of reservations. Consider a post-Kili climb safari as your summiter’s reward. Read our Kilimanjaro FAQ.
