Travel With Purpose.
We deeply grieve the recent flood devastation in Rasuwa, yet traveling to unaffected areas of Nepal remains safe, vital, and deeply needed.
Tourism generates $650M annually for local families-and this AUMUNI expedition goes a step further:
10% of proceeds directly fund local flood rebuilding efforts, regenerate the environment, and your entire journey is 100% carbon-negative.
Himalayan glaciers are melting 60% faster than normal; this is a rare window to witness these awe-inspiring landscapes while directly restoring the communities that guard them. Our trip puts safety first, taking place during the dry season, and does not include glacier climbing.
AUMUNI is longevity for people and the planet. Support Nepal. Reserve Your Spot.

Complete Relaxation.
Step into the healing mineral waters of the Himalayas and enter Akasha (शून्यता)—the sacred space between. Since ancient times, these waters have been more than a physical sanctuary; they are a gateway into profound stillness, healing, and a tool to practice meditation. Seven days of our journey will include intentional soak time. In the quietude of the bath, allow worries of self to dissolve. By embracing this intentional pause, we shed the burdens of the world, creating a luminous space for the mind and body to thrive.
