Expeditions in Nepal

The Kingdom of Nepal is a narrow sliver of land squeezed between burgeoning India to the south and the vast Tibetan plateau to the north. She rises from plain to plain, valley to valley, mountain to mountain - a precipitous staircase that ends at the roof of the world, the Abode of Snows.

Eight of the world's 8 highest summits out of 14 highest mountains, including Mt. Everest, lie within her borders. Since its inception in 1984, Nepal has introduced thousands of people around the world to the spectacular high peaks of the Himalayas, from Nepal to Tibet to Bhutan. While most are drawn by the mountains, their lasting memories are with the extraordinary people who inhabit them.
