With plenty of cultural experiences and a five-day trek with an all-female crew of mountain guides and porters, this 13-day Women's Expedition gives you a unique insight into the lives of Nepali women
  • Experience the beauty of the Annapurna region on the five-day Ghorepani Poon Hill trek. Learn about the lives of your all-female trekking crew, stay in traditional teahouses and see some of Nepal’s tallest peaks.
  • Spend two days in Chitwan National Park, where you’ll enjoy sunset drinks, a canoe ride and a game drive to spot the resident wildlife before falling asleep to the sounds of nature in your jungle lodge.
  • Visit an NGO working to abolish menstrual stigma and chhaupadi – the illegal but socially common practice of banishing women and girls to makeshift huts during their period.
  • Learn how to cook traditional Nepali dishes and the culinary heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation, then learn the secrets of creating the perfect momo at a cooking class in a Tibetan refugee camp.
  • Listen to the morning prayers and learn about the lives of Buddhist nuns at an all-female monastery in Kathmandu that's challenging patriarchal traditions.
Stay in a mix of comfortable hotels and guesthouses in Kathmandu and Pokhara, simple teahouses on the Annapurna trek, and a jungle lodge
esort in Chitwan. Teahouses offer small twin-share rooms, shared rudimentary facilities, limited electricity or running water, and optional paid hot showers, charging and Wi-Fi.
