This beauty is deep. Standing there on that hill, one saw 300 miles of Himalayas, almost from horizon to horizon, with deep, dark valleys, peak after peak with everlasting snow, not a house in sight, not a village, not a hut. The sun was touching the highest peaks, and all of a sudden the whole continuous range was afire from within, a glow of incredible intensity. The valleys became darker and the silence was absolute. The earth was breathless in its splendour.

As the sun rose from out of the far east, the immensity, the utter purity of those majestic mountains seemed so close one could almost touch them, but they were many hundreds of miles away.



You don't have to worry about a thing. We plan it, get you warm and cozy, cook the food to your special taste, choose nice warm lodges (no tents thanks) and use the highest skill support staff, with the highest standards of safety in accord with all international Rescue Associations.

A Very Personal Experience

•  After 2 days acclimatising and touring the ancient city of Katmandu, we fly by light aircraft to Lukla, 2500 meters, where our trek begins. Our first day is easy, only 3 hours walk and we rest. It's about getting used to the environment, the thin air and the trail. From here we trek 5 hours to Namchi, our home for the next 2 weeks.
• We acclimatise in Namche, visiting the hospital, schools, monasteries. We do a Tibetan medicine talk with my old friend Sherab, and many people do a medical consultation with him. A totally amazing experience.
• After 2 days in Namche we head off into the mountains. Short altitude gains are essential so we journey through the most scenic Himalaya, visiting my old friends and Sherpa people along the way. Stopping for tea and coffee and just soaking it all in.
• We have porters carrying the weight, Sherpa people to assist and guide. We each carry water and a small bag with personal supplies. Like lip cream and warm jacket. It's an adventure just walking the trail. We enjoy the fine food and each night have the option of hot shower and warm fire.
• Where ever possible, I take you away from the main trail. I choose the season for these walks based on the low tourist time. In tourist season, it's often hard to get a room in the lodges.
• Photography is spectacular. Not only scenic shots but local people, fauna and wild life. Eagles, mountain goats, deer, birds of all description. Each night we gather around the warm lodge lounge and debrief the day, share some thoughts and occasionally share a pack of chips and a beer. (not recommended at altitude).
• Sherpa people greet you with Namaste, it means I salute you and they mean it. The trails are never totally deserted. Kids going to school, porters carrying beer, climbers returning. You'll meet local people and they will become your friends too. Families, monks, healers and lodge owners. These friendships are as precious as the scenery. You'll meet Sherpa men and women who have climbed Everest 7 times or more. They'll even happily serve your dinner.
• Preparation for this journey is important but not too intense. If you are over weight or have a knee problem, we'll need to be conscious of the potential problems of overdoing it.
• On our treks we accommodate all circumstance. There are many opportunities to say "that's far enough" - then you have choices, to go down and wait, or do a side tour where there's no more ascent but lots of wonderful paces to visit. Ancient monasteries, valleys, nunneries, herbal healing centers and more.
• If you choose you can stay longer, or leave earlier. We have a very high ratio of staff to guest for this very reason. We encourage independence and so, if you need space, or decide to do something very special for yourself, we have absolutely enough staff to support you in your choices.
• Medical questions are simple. 90% of problems up here are altitude related. Cold and headaches are not uncommon and so we take all precautions along the way to build immune response, walk within prescribed altitude ascent rates and have emergency medication and facility onboard just in case.
• Kids are welcome. We usually suggest 10 -12 is the start point only because the whole journey can be boring to the younger ones.
• December is cold. I love it. A down jacket, beanie and gloves insulate us from real cold and the views are astonishing. Hot water bottles warm the bed along with 5 season down sleeping bags. We provide all that from our friends in Katmandu. Trekking clothes in Katmandu are sooooooo cheap. The only thing we recommend you don't buy there are boots. but even good boots can be bought for a song.
• So, if you are like everyone I meet in my global travels and you are saying "one day I want to go there" why not jump into it? And the benefit of coming with me is that you get to do a huge journey within at the same time.

What You Do

If you are thinking "How to I take my life deeper, more meaning, more joy and vitality and more love than ever before, then consider this program in the high Himalayas as a great step toward these discoveries.

 You'll enjoy local food and local people. We meet Tibetan traders and buy their beautiful stone jewelry. You'll share a joke with a thousand year old woman and you'll play kick ball with kids with runny noses. You'll share thoughts or sit quietly contemplating the beauty.

The Location

Our trek is located in the Khumbu Valley and extends right to the base of Mt Everest. We stay 14 days in the deeper Himalayas in tea houses. The Himalayan expanse is awesome and the beauty without comparison. We acclimatize in Namche and stay in a wonderful hotel that was once a monastery. We visit the Sacred Lakes at Gokyo and climb -(trek only) a peak -Gokyo Peak.

The Magic

You will meet monks, and families, children and Tibetan traders, you will meet Sherpas who have climbed Everest several times, porters whose lives are spent walking up and down mountains carrying tourist supplies. The air is fresh and full of vitality but starved of oxygen, your lungs will adapt and your fitness transform.

You will loose weight, the effort so high in these lands is a guarantee, you’ll meet weather conditions from hottest sun to coolest snow, we are in the Himalayas, all is expected and all is celebrated.

You will not be exposed to extreme climbing conditions. We a re after all a seminar company and personal development is our focus, so crampons, ropes and climbing axes are not part of your program.

Take Home

A very personal, deep exploration of self awareness, global future, and cultural diversity. A way to deepen your spiritual Commitment, gain global leadership skills and improve the quality of your life in a most spectacular environment.

We laugh, cry and challenge ourselves physically in the long up and down hill sections and learn from each other. We share time with our porters and make great friends in the tea houses we stay in and eat at.

To witness the Himalayas up close is such a profound experience it defies description here. We are able to see the word from a whole new perspective and wow, what a view.

What to Consider

Change. Lots of it. Change in time, schedules, route and mindsets. Nepal is a land of change. Life for a Nepali is a life of constant flux. You will need to adapt to this in order to enjoy your experience. Always change -bought about by the most obscure situation -adaptability is learnt in Nepal.

Insurance

Insurance is required in Nepal and we will ask for proof of this insurance before departure. The program is a conference to be held in Namche Bazaar. We are happy to guide and care for you en route but responsibility for health and well-being is to each and every individual.

Accommodation

During the trek, each night will be spent in authentic Nepalese tea houses that range in quality from the sublime to the ridiculous (the latter being in the remoter areas).

Safety and Warnings

Altitude requires caution. Altitude sickness is preventable by acclimatization and in some cases (temporary) medication. The walk is physically challenging and significant preparation is recommended. Water is available on the whole trek and purification tablets make it 100% safe where necessary. Pack weight is important. We ask each person to carry maximum of 10Kg and offer a porter load of another 10kg (maximum porter load 25kg)

What Others Say

"The world is full of beauty. I experienced this in absolute awe when sitting in monasteries upon Himalayan skies. To observe the simple practices by Buddhist monks filling up and emptying golden bowls of precious water against the morning and evening sun revealed to me the real purpose of my own life. Grace, Integrity and Beauty. This simple act performed at the same time every day demonstrated to me such mindfulness and respect for our creation. Coming from a world where sacred rituals and practices are not as elegant, I was confronted by it's absolute beauty. Although in my heart since birth, the purpose for my existence was crystallized at Namche Bazaar. For those of you who are considering this trek with Chris, take a risk and step outside your comfort zone and do it.

Nepal is truly one of the most magnificent places on this earth. Trekking through it¹s mountains will take you to a place deep within that will make your spirit soar and cry and laugh. Thank you Christopher Walker for reaching out to me and inspiring me to climb. I am forever grateful for you and the beauty in this world. Namaste." - Judy Chapman

We visit monasteries and meet the monks, share a joke and get their take on life in the bigger sense.

We use porters who carry about 10kg per person and each participant is encouraged to carry around 5 -10 kg each in a small, full frame back pack. Our accommodation is tea houses along the way and each offers something very different.

You will need to be quite fit and ready to walk in very appropriate footwear. Most important is that your legs are ready for some knee jarring, angle testing, hip hugging downhill strolls. No escape from the fact that -although fitness is important, knees and ankles remain a significant vulnerability for all trekking -even down to the shop.

Discussions and Debriefs

Sessions are primarily informal and include personal/individual discussions en route. Lunchtime gatherings and evening get together provide opportunities to share experiences and develop topics of interest. Individuals will be able to trek alone as they choose or in groups. Routes are clearly marked and staging (check) points will maintain safety. Discussions will be supported by field notes presented at the end of the experience.
