Annapurna Mountain Range

One of Nepal's famed mountain ranges, the Annapurna consists of several peaks of varying heights. Of these, Annapurna I and Annapurna II are the tallest at almost 8000 meters providing a spectacular panoramic view for anyone visiting the Himalayas.

Reviewed By theadventurousfew - Brisbane, Australia

One of the world's most famous treks for good reason. The scenery covers everything from lush forest and rice paddys (in the lower sections) to arid valleys (around Manang and mustang) and of course, the 5400m Thorung La pass! And all along the way your have this amazing backdrop of the Annapurna range and other Himalayan giants. Plan on at least 2 weeks to enjoy the trek - or more if you want to do some of the side trips available. Lodging is easy to find pretty much year-round although it gets very busy in the peak seasons (April & September). Bring warm gear, a strong pair of legs and a sense of adventure :)

Purna Yoga & Treks

Purna Yoga & Treks (also known as Nepal Yoga Trek) is a pioneer of yoga trekking tours in Nepal. Many people come to Nepal to experience the beauty and magic of trekking in the Himalayas. The idea of combining yoga with trekking was born in 2008 and we have been passionate in organizing yoga treks in Nepal ever since. At Purna Yoga & Treks, as skilled trekking guides and passionate yoga teachers, we wanted to offer people a better way to experience some of the world's most breathtaking scenery. After much experimenting and exploration on how to integrate trekking and yoga we found a winning formula. Our yoga treks and tours have been carefully designed to combine the best elements of each. We provide a gentle trekking schedule, healthy food, stretches for weary muscles, breathing exercises to ease breathing and time to relax, reflect and enjoy the location. Each day starts with a short meditation and gentle yoga session to awaken you to the beauty that surrounds you and connects your senses with nature. We take time to stretch even during the day to prevent muscle strain. At times we also stop along the trail to really appreciate the surroundings and meditate on the sound of a flowing river or engage in mountain gazing meditation. Afternoons are marked with yoga nidra - guided relaxation which allows us to integrate the day's experiences and is deeply rejuvenating. This combination of trekking, yoga and mindfulness is a sure way to connect with yourself and to help find inner balance and harmony in the natural setting of world's highest mountains.

Sunrise Paragliding

Who We Are For everyone that has enjoyed a tandem flight with us, learned to fly under our instructors, there is one thing we hear consistently: "You have the best job in the world." We don't take this comment lightly, and even after hearing it a thousand times it is a nice reminder of how privileged we are to be able to make our passion our profession. It speaks a lot for our team for this passion to still remain after all these years. In fact, it grows with almost every flight. Nothing compares to the feeling of soaring freely with the birds over one of the most picturesque landscapes on earth, and with each joyful shout from a passenger that leaves the ground for the first time, or a student that has made their first successful landing, our passion is recharged. We are the first paragliding company in Nepal, and with 20 years of experience our knowledge of the local flying conditions is unmatched. Paragliding, like everything in life, is constantly evolving, and we are committed to guiding the growth of it here in Nepal in the most professional, safe, and enjoyable way possible. We take our title as "The Paragliding Pioneers of Nepal" very seriously, and are constantly searching for new flying routes, sites, and ways to improve to ensure the adventuresome spirit that gave birth to this sport is alive and well for years to come. If you have dreamed of flying, let us help you make your dream come true.
