Where we're going

This October, we're heading to Nepal to trek the Manaslu Circuit, a route that circumnavigates Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. Over 17 days on the trail, we'll move from lowland river valleys up through remote mountain villages, and along the way we'll climb Larke Peak (20,502 ft).

Why we're going

We've partnered with Magical Nepal to explore future OAT trips to the Himalayas. Our long-term goal is to share these routes and adventures with our community.

What we'll bring back

Our insights from the field will be directly applied to our programs and coaching, and will go into new resources on training for high-altitude trekking and mountaineering. We'll debrief the full expedition at our November 30 community meeting.

What to Expect

Nepal Flood Relief

A Dollar for Every Meter

On August 26th, a flash flood tore through Nepal's Rasuwa district and the areas downstream. As we prepare for our October climb of Larke Peak and the Manaslu circuit, we want this trip to help support Nepal through this disaster.

Our goal is $6,249, to provide urgent relief and long-term recovery support to communities impacted.

All donations go directly through GlobalGiving's Nepal Flood Relief Fund.
