We are convinced that traveling for a better world is possible and that through responsible travel experiences one can gain experiences for a lifetime. Based on this, we have developed our first Fair Trails\u00ae Experiences in Nepal, in which we discover unknown spots far off the beaten track with all our senses and contribute to the preservation of local nature and culture. The Snow Leopard Trail takes us to the spectacular Himalyan regions of Nar Phu and Manang. This world-forgotten stretch of land, wedged between the eight-thousand-meter peaks of Annapurna and Manaslu, is now considered one of the last intact habitats of the mystical Snow Leopard. Accompanied by the world’s leading Snow Leopard experts, we will dive deep into the world of this so mysterious grace of nature and become active participants in the species conservation project of the renowned Snow Leopard Conservancy. We then turn to the Local Life Trail, which takes us into the lives of Nepal’s diverse ethnic groups, which are spread across the Himalayan state like a multifaceted mosaic. We travel along a historic salt route over the rugged Mahbharat Mountains into the mysterious south of the country. Past the remote villages of the semi-nomadic Chepang to the fishing people of the Tharu in the jungles of the lowlands. The spectacular finale is a visit to the oldest national park of the country, where we walk in the footsteps of the largest wild cat in Nepal – the Bengal Tiger.<\/p>\n

    On our Explorer Tour 2022, we would like to walk sections of our two Fair Trails\u00ae<\/span><\/b> Experiences “Snow Leopard Trail” and “Local Life Trail” together with our Local Experts for the first time. The goal is to experience our new kind of travel products from the point of view of travelers and to document the personal experience in an individual way. In this way, as trail pioneers, we would like to give these unique experiences a dress rehearsal and thus also develop them further together. Each encounter with nature and culture is a special moment. For the Explorer Tour 2021, we have selected highlights of the routes we have created and carefully arranged them so that the trip ends up being a true lifetime experience.<\/p>\n

    The Snow Leopard Trail<\/h1>\n

    The Snow Leopard Trail follows the tracks of the Snow Leopard through one of its preferred habitats in a remote mountainous region in northwestern Nepal. Its starting point at the famous Annapurna Circuit is reached by off-road vehicle in a breathtakingly spectacular drive. This takes you out of the subtropical hills of Nepal through the imposing and deeply incised Marsyangdi Gorge right into the glacier world of the Annapurna Himal. For the Explorer Tour, we will then trek for 3 days in the barren high mountain landscape of the Manang region, heading for Snow Leopard hotspots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Tashi R. Ghale is an internationally recognized nature photographer and wildlife biologist. There will probably be no one in the entire Himalayas who has observed the snow leopard in the wild more often than he has. Tashi is also a protagonist in award-winning documentaries from National Geographic and Disney. So he takes us to very special observation sites of the Snow Leopard, like particularly often frequented marking sites at territorial borders. Or to the camera traps of the monitoring project, where the new image material is immediately read out.<\/p>\n

    The Local Life Trail<\/h1>\n

    The second part of this Explorer Tour is dedicated to exploring the Local Life Trail. By off-road vehicle, we descend from the glacier world of Annapurna to the rugged Mahabharat Mountains covered with monsoon forest. Our destination is the village of Uparghandaghi, from where breathtaking views of the lowlands of the Gangetic plain and the eight-thousand-meter Manaslu can be enjoyed. Around this special place still many Chepang, a group of indigenous people of Nepal, live. They have preserved much of their formerly semi-nomadic way of life here and live primarily from the produce of the jungle. We will accompany the Chepang for one day. How they hunt bats and press oil and soap from the fruits of the Chiuri tree. Then we will descend along the ancient salt trails into the Terai, Nepal’s subtropical plain. The next destination of our Explorer Tour is Meghauli. A village on the edge of the jungle, where we immerse ourselves in the life of the Tharu people. The Tharu have always adapted to the way of life in the jungle and as a very special highlight we will join representatives of the people in their craft, fishing in the jungle river. The grand finale of this extraordinary journey will be a visit to the famous Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge on the edge of Chitwan National Park. Tiger Tops are THE pioneers of responsible nature tourism in Asia. Here we will safely entrust ourselves to the great Tiger Tops team and together we will embark on the trail of the ruler of the jungle, the Royal Bengal Tiger. The jungle walk, guarded by the specially trained Tiger Tops elephants, is an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n

    Prashant Khanal is a blogger, researcher and entrepreneur. His passion is to explore indigenous Nepali ingredients and foods, find out more about the diverse food culture and traditional recipes, and try to spread the word to inspire as many people as possible. He currently runs a food blog called The Gundruk and is one of the partners of the equally celebrated and charming restaurant called Raithaane (which translates to “local”). Raithaane is located in Patan, the most pristine of the three royal cities in Kathmandu’s valley. Prashant Khanal travels all over the country to research, collect and, most importantly, understand new ingredients and recipes.<\/p>\n

    He could therefore not be better suited as a Fair Trails expert, especially for Local Life Trails. He has the passion and technical expertise, is well-traveled, and possesses a broad knowledge of how local foods can evolve and transform around the world. In combination with his excellent command of English, his considerate and pleasant nature, plus his desire to promote Nepalese cuisine around the world, he becomes the perfect Fair Trails expert.<\/div>\n

    Become a Fair Trail pioneer on our first joint tour<\/strong><\/h1>\n

    For our first Explorer Tour we are looking for 3 female and 3 male travellers with a pioneering spirit to join us on a journey that is anything but ordinary. For 17 days we will get to know a still unknown side of Nepal and dive intensively into the local life, from the Himalayas to the Ganges lowlands. We will be guided and accompanied by local experts who, through their years of experience, will give us a deep insight into the characteristics of daily life in this remote region of the world. We will be accompanied by the different ethnic groups of Nepal as well as the endangered wildlife, from the Snow Leopard to the Royal Bengal Tiger. Ultimately, it is about those who spend their lives here.<\/p>\n

    Send us your motivation letter in the contact form and convince us why you, out of all others, are the right pioneer for this unique experience. Deadline is May 30, 2021 and all participants will be contacted. The final participants will receive further details about the trip.<\/p>\n
