About The Trip
Travel “Path to Nepal. Returning to yourself ”is not just a walk through the sights of the mountainous country.
We go on an expedition to explore the mystical mountainous Nepal and the true nature of our soul. 11 days of active tracking in the company of like-minded people and the disclosure of their creative potential. 11 days of immersion in local culture and ancient knowledge. It is both transformative conversations with cultural barriers and a personal spiritual path...
After all, people don't just come to the Himalayas. This is the call of the heart! The need to be alone with the mountains and yourself. Feel where to go next.
