NEPAL MUSTANG VALLEY HIKING EXPERIENCE

We believe Nepal provides a rare opportunity for a select group of people to have an experience not felt possible.
We have access to the Mustang Valley – Nepal’s ‘Forbidden Kingdom’, a place that up until recent times was inaccessible.
Open to only a select few groups of adventurers per year, the Kingdom of Mustang, formally known as the Kingdom of Lo, is the last true Tibetan Kingdom. A small outpost of Nepal, it’s a region previously locked off from the rest of the world until 1992.

Being accommodated in local Tea Houses all the way and acquiring a special permit to hike through to the northern most border of Tibet, you’ll be within kilometres of the source of the Kali Gandaki River (start of the deepest Gorge in the World). We finish with a 3-day descent on the eastern half of the Annapurna trekking trail with a descent of 4,656m. A privileged minority have had the opportunity to experience this precious and still preserved gem wrapped within the Annapurna Himalaya’s and perched on the Tibetan plateau border with Nepal.

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.
