Accessible adventures in the Nepal Himalaya
Accessible Adventures in Nepal

The Himalaya belongs to everyone.

We help people with disabilities, trauma and life challenges explore the mountains of Nepal. With the right planning and the right team, adventure is possible for all.

Our thoughts

Adventure is a right, not a privilege.

Nepal is a land of adventure. Every year hundreds of thousands of travellers come here to trek, climb and explore. Travel and adventure are part of a full and happy life, and everyone deserves the chance to experience them, whatever their physical ability.

Millions of people around the world are differently abled, whether from birth, an accident or other circumstances. Many have gone on to achieve remarkable things. Their goals and their achievements deserve to be supported and celebrated.

1.3 billionpeople worldwide live with a significant disability, about 16% of the global population (WHO)
5.5 millionUS veterans have a service-connected disability, and the rate among younger veterans is rising

From our own expeditions

In April 2023, one of our team leaders guided the world’s largest group of veterans, 90% of them differently abled, all the way to Everest Base Camp.

We have hands-on experience organising inclusive treks and expeditions, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our guides and our whole team are here to help differently abled adventurers reach their goals safely and with confidence.

With careful planning, determination and the right support beside you, nothing is impossible.
