Travel with Purpose
On this imaginative trip, two weeks door-to-door and perfect for a family, you actually get to see everything from the jungle to the snow-capped Annapurnas and are hosted by members of the READ library community along the way.
Traveling with Myths and Mountains President, Dr. Antonia Neubauer, you journey from Kathmandu to Gorkha, home of the king who founded the Shah dynasty in Nepal. Here you can visit a new READ library just under construction and explore villages in the shadow of Langtang, Bauda Himal and other sky-touching peaks. From Gorkha, you head to Pokhara looking out on the Annapurnas. You can visit the town and museum and take a boat on the lake. Then, from the mountains, you drop down to the jungle and spend time with the local Tharus.
During your time in Kathmandu, you visit the beautiful temples and monasteries of the valley, meet craftspeople, shop for jewelry, rugs, or whatever you wish, and enjoy the hospitality and warmth of the Nepali people.
