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.
