Hike Annapurna Nepal October 2022
ANNAPURNA HIKING EXPERIENCE
We believe Nepal provides a rare opportunity for a select group of people to have an Experience Not Felt Possible. For our 2022 Experiences we have added the Annapurna Circuit. Annapurna Circuit is located in central Nepal and ascends to an altitude of over 5400 metres at Thorong La Pass – the worlds highest pass.
Annapurna Circuit has been voted as the best long-distance trek in the world, with cultural variety from Hindu villages at the low foothills to the Tibetan culture of Manang.
We hike the Annapurna Circuit, being accommodated in local Tea Houses all the way with our highest elevation being reached at Muktinath (3700m) which is at the base of Thorong La Pass (the worlds highest pass).
$4370 per person – Ex. International Flights
Departing 27th Oct 2022

WHY NEPAL
Matthew Stewart talks with his uncle Peter Stewart about the long family history and association with Nepal and the inspiration for our Nepal Experiences Not Felt Possible
Experience Not Felt Possible
What is an Experience Not Felt Possible? We believe there needs to be more gained than ‘reaching a goal’ – the memories you make and the person you become on the journey is what really matters.
To achieve this, we believe it’s important to create an experience that fulfils the following criteria:
- Meaning – the experience has to mean something to you personally
- Sacrifice – the experience involves giving up something in your life
- Acquisition – you need to learn a new skill or achieve a new level of fitness
- Giving – there needs to be component of helping others
- New Setting – it’s about going to places you have only dreamed of
Our belief is that when you create an experience that fulfils the above criteria, it will become a memory that lasts forever.
