Join a group departure

Last updated 16 October 2026.

Short answer: Joining one of our fixed group departures is the cheapest way to travel with us: you share the trip with other travellers who booked the same date, and the price per person falls as more join. If nobody else books your date, we still run it for you privately.

  • 2027 departures on our main treks, mostly on Mondays in spring and autumn
  • Joining is opt-in; private bookings are never merged
  • Same tiers and inclusions as a private trip

Join a group departure

Some of our trips already have people on them who would be glad of company, and joining one is the cheapest way to travel with us. The more of you there are, the less each person pays, and once fourteen are paying, whoever organised the group goes free. We never force strangers on anyone. The departures below are trips whose travellers have told us they would welcome others joining them.

Departures you can join now

Annapurna Circuit by mountain bike. 30 October to 10 November 2026, standard tier. One rider is on it so far, with room for a few more. A big loop of the Annapurna range on two wheels, jeep support carrying the bikes over the hardest sections.

Lower Mustang by motorbike. 21 to 28 November 2026. Two riders are on it, with room for more. A ride up the old salt road into the edge of the former kingdom of Mustang, dry canyons and Tibetan-Buddhist villages.

Message me on WhatsApp with the one you want to join and I will tell you what is left and what it costs.

How joining works

Tell me which departure you like and a little about yourself. I check with the people already on the trip, and if it is a good fit you are in, at the current group price for that trip. As the group grows, the per-person price steps down for everyone on it, so an extra person joining is good news for the ones already booked, not a cost to them. You travel on the same dates, the same tier, with everything the trip already includes.

Prefer your own private group?

You do not have to join an existing trip. Bring your own people and run any trek or tour as a private group on your own dates, at the same per-person price, with the organiser free once fourteen are paying. You can read how that works on our group and club treks page.

This page is updated regularly as trips fill and new departures open. If nothing here fits, message me anyway and tell me what you are looking for.

Frequently asked questions

What if no one else joins my date?

We still run the trip for you on that date, privately, at the price for your group size.

Is a group departure cheaper than a private trek?

Per person, yes, because the price falls as the group grows. The inclusions are the same.

Can I join a group as a solo traveller?

Yes. Many people who join a fixed departure are travelling alone.

How do I book a group date?

Pick a date on the trek page or message us on WhatsApp. A 10% deposit holds your place and the balance is paid on arrival in Kathmandu.
