Spring 2011 Trekking and Mountaineering


April 17 to May 6, 2011: Kangshung Face of Mount Everest
It is a little known fact that there is a third side to Everest, which offers arguably the most interesting approach and most dramatic view of the world's most famous mountain - the Kangshung Face. Very few people have made the journey to this side of the mountain.

2 to 4 People: $5710
5 to 8 People: $4805
9 to 12 People: $3960

May 8 to May 18, 2011: Merak and Sakteng Trek of Eastern Bhutan
Our new trekking route into Merak and Sakteng is a truly incredible cultural journey and nature trek into a region closed to foreigners for the past 30 years. Our 6 day trek visits both Merak and the Sakteng valleys and enters the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary.

4 to 12 People: $3665

May 8 to May 26, 2011: Humla & the Hidden Himalaya Trek
All but forgotten by the rest of the world, the isolated territories of Humla offer vistas that are both limitless and intimate. Here is a land of eternally snow-capped mountains and sweeping valleys - a landscape as forbidding as some distant moon.

5 to 8 People: $3440
9 to 12 People: $3080
 

2011 Road and Mountain Biking


October 20 to November 3, 2011: Bhutan Mountain Bike Traverse

With one “paved”, twisty-turny road traversing the country, Bhutan is the perfect venue for a cycling adventure! This ride has it all; challenging climbs that switchback over mountain passes, long descents into alpine valleys, Bhutan’s unique and rich Buddhist culture and some of the most beautiful and unspoiled scenery in the world.

5 to 12 People: $4945
