Api Himal is located in Far Western Nepal. The peak itself is 7000 meters in height, and surrounded by 5000 and 6000 meter peaks. The goal of this trip is to walk into the region with porter support, focusing on the culture and wildlife of the region. We will stop and visit with locals in their villages, search for wildlife with my binoculars while on trail, and make our way up into the large alpine region that is Api Himal.

Bali Pass connects Harkidoon and the Tons river valley to the holy Yamunotri shrine, source of the Ganga. Our trekking route traverses remote villages, pristine bugyals (bugyal is Garhwali for "alpine meadow") and sacred lakes. Behind the main thrust of the Himalaya we have up front views to ice clad peaks soaring skyward, notably Bandarpunch, Kalanag and Swargarohini.

We return to the Nun-Kun massif for our sixth expedition to climb Kun (7077m). Kun is an excellent choice for a 7000 meter climb because of its short trekking approach (one day), climbing route, and relatively stable weather patterns.

Our 2025 focus for Spring ski touring and splitboarding in the Ladakh region. What we found in June 2017 and June 2018 was a gracious plenty of ski and splitboard terrain waiting for its first ski descent at the 4000 to 6000 meter elevation.

Annapurna circuit is one of the most considered and interesting routes through the Himalaya. As varied as it can be, the route reveals the rich variety of ethnic groups, cultures and settlements.

A classic trek to Annapurna Sanctuary during off-season. It runs along the trail from Pokhara through the rhododendron forests, bougainvillea ferns and bamboos. The narrow gorge between Machapurchare and Hiunchuli marks the boundary between the lower pastures and tropical forests to the alpine.

Langtang is a narrow valley between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower shower range to the south. This trek is an excellent opportunity to explore local villages, scramble small peaks and visit glaciers at relatively low elevations — most of the trekking is below 4000m.
