Sharing experience with a class trips or your family and loved ones is always memorable by itself. Adorning it with the magnificent Himalayan trail will definitely add more adventure and memories to the trip. Adventure Mountain Explore Treks Known as AME Treks has come up with a group package for your entire team with flexible itinerary according to your time and schedule. Along with it, we aspire to give you the best time here in Nepal. We understand that in a group of people, different individuals will have different needs. Thus, we can also customize the package according to you preference.
The value of learning along with leisure is our key mission while attempting these trek packages. The children will not only learn about different culture but also build their leadership ability, decision making and team work. From our side, we guarantee 100% safety to all our guests with experienced and licensed team leaders on-site 24 hours. We have also planned an itinerary suitable for acclimatizing, leisure as well as a great learning experience. Exposure to an exotic culture, connecting to the wilderness and appreciating the brilliant tradition will not only broaden the cross cultural appreciation but also tempt to see the world from a different perspective as a global citizen.
Our aim during your trek is to make the students understand the importance of cultural diversity blended with the everyday trekking and physical activities. Along with this, the school and lifestyle is also a huge contrast to how our children have grown up. Making the students appreciate the contrasting life, we showcase the education system with local school visits. We will visit schools in the Everest region on the 3rd, 4th and 5th day of the trip during the trek where the children will interact with the local students and get exposed to the study environment.
From a guided city tour to a tourist standard lodging in the mountains, we give you the full package with service and adventure. The highlight of the trek is perhaps sharing the adrenaline flight to Lukla, the cultural diversity during the trek and introduction to the beautiful customs and traditions of the famous Sherpas. Reaching the Base of the highest peak in the world itself sounds alluring. Accompanied with this, we will also get to view other glory of mountains such as Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Enticing with the Sherpa culture is the Monastery and Gompas run by the monks along with ethnic villages and settlements. We also offer you a bed and breakfast package in the city along with a welcome and farewell dinner for the entire team.
