Nepal: Women's Expedition
< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
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. Travel with a female leader and meet a range of female trailblazers along the way – from chefs at a social enterprise to a women-led NGO on a mission to end period stigma. Meet Buddhist nuns as you get an inside look at an all-female nunnery, make momos with a local woman at a Tibetan refugee camp and treat yourself to a traditional Newari pedicure in Kathmandu. Listen to personal stories, connect with like-minded travellers and be inspired on an adventure that puts women front and centre.
