The sparkling, pristine blue and green waters of the Gokyo Lakes are one of Nepal’s most memorable sights. They comprise the highest freshwater lake system in the world, at around 5,000 meters.

This is a unique trekking experience blending Northern Ethiopia with photographing the Omo Valley. Photographic opportunities range from documenting the daily life of the tribes, portraiture, and landscapes.

We can arrange treks in the Annapurna and Everest Regions, the Mustang Region, the Langtang Region, remote areas such as the The Kanchenjunga Region and Rara National Park. We volunteer options in many of these regions available. These trips can be in Nepal, Latin America, Ethiopia , Vietnam and more.

Gather your friends, sisters, mothers and daughters for soulful times in the mountains. Reconnect with special ladies and make new friends on our ‘girls only’ treks led by Bri and other female guides.
“Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! Going to Nepal may be one of the best things I’ve done. The memories are innumerable. You have given me the confidence to travel more on my own.”
THis could be you!
Cultural Immersion & Service Projects
We travel like locals with the locals. Our experienced Sherpas open their hearts to us, we stay at their homes and tea houses, we learn how to cook local recipes, we visit their kids’ schools, surprise them with much needed supplies and gifts, as well as help out with the local service projects at schools and villages.
“Your greatness is not in what you have, but what you give”
Driftwood Adventure Treks believes in giving back. Last trip we were able to donate solar lanterns to Sherpas, families and schools. This photo was taken at Base Camp 4. Neg 25 degrees. 8000m.
Travel Photography
Our expeditions offer a unique opportunity to improve your travel photography skills. You will not be leaving Nepal without the impressive photo memories of landscapes, majestic mountains and portraits of friendly locals. You do not have to be a photographer to travel with us. Photo instruction is optional.
Yoga In The Mountains
From doing important stretches for basic body conditioning to more advanced yoga sessions, certified yoga instructors who are also your group leaders will include yoga in our daily activities.
