What is a Group Join Trek?

A Group Join Trek is a trekking package with fixed departure dates where individuals or small groups can book and join others to form a larger trekking team.

• Pre-scheduled departure dates

• Shared cost for guides, porters, and logistics

• Opportunity to meet fellow trekkers

It’s the perfect choice for solo travelers, students, couples, and budget trekkers.
