American school teacher Chris Baker has launched the new social start-up and adventure travel company OneSeed Expeditions.
Based on the idea that travel can have a positive impact, the social tour operator will use travel to fund women entrepreneurs in the developing world.
What is the best mountain hike in 2010? Maybe it is World Expeditions’ new tour along the Great Himalaya Trail, the world’s longest alpine walking track.
The famous trail winds through the world’s largest mountains and remotest communities and five Asian countries (Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan). It covers more than 4,500km, from Namche Barwa in Tibet to Nanga Parbat in Pakistan.
Only the Nepal section (1,700km) is available to traverse since it has been walked and mapped thoroughly. During the Nepal section, all the country’s 8,000m peaks can be viewed along the legendary mountain trail.
