Some trips are booked to relax. Others to escape. But this one… this one was a calling.

My journey with Sacred Earth Adventures to the Himalayas wasn’t just about travel—it was about realignment. Drawn by a deep desire to visit the Earth’s chakra points, I set out on a solo adventure. A soul quest, really. I wanted to reconnect with who I am at the core, what I needed to be reminded of—and most of all, to see what the universe had in store for me. Spoiler alert: it did not disappoint.

Finding Balance in the Sacred Himalayas

The Sacred Himalayas journey—Sacred Earth Adventures’ signature trek through the Annapurna region—was equal parts awe-inspiring and grounding. Nestled in the spiritual heart of Nepal, the journey began with five incredible days of trekking through some of the most sacred lands on Earth.

Despite being in a group of ten, I felt a strong pull toward solitude. I allowed myself to hang back, soak in the sounds of the forest, and feel the earth beneath my boots. There’s something so profoundly peaceful about being surrounded by nature—no buzzing phones, no distractions—just mountains, wind, and your own heartbeat.

It was like recharging a battery I didn’t know had been running on empty.

The views? Out of this world. Mt. Annapurna and the iconic Machapuchare (Fish Tail) teased us from behind clouds, only to show off their grandeur at just the right moment—like nature’s own surprise-and-delight campaign.

After climbing Kilimanjaro last year, I expected this trek to be tough—but the Sacred Earth Adventures team made it so beautifully manageable. The altitudes were gentler, the tea houses were cozy (yes, with fire at night!), and the group energy was truly supportive. We were warm, well-fed, and well cared for, allowing me to focus on the real work: going inward.

Ah-Ha Moments and Mountain Magic

The Himalayan trek gave me space to stretch into vulnerability, something I usually shy away from. I’ve always been the behind-the-scenes magic-maker, the one who prefers to lift others up rather than step into the spotlight. But as the trail unfolded, I had to confront those little moments where the universe nudged me: Trust yourself. Speak up. You’re not weak—you’re growing.

Each quiet morning, each unexpected laugh with a fellow trekker, each step up a ridge felt like another layer of self-doubt peeling away.

And the Nepalese people? They truly see you. Their humor, their warmth, and that open-hearted hospitality made me feel so welcome. We exchanged curiosity for curiosity. Their joy was contagious—and the food? Absolutely fantastic.

From Trekking to Spa Days: Pokhara and Beyond

After five days of trekking, our group made our way to Pokhara—a lakeside city known for its calm energy and healing experiences. Here, we let our bodies rest and be thanked properly with spa treatments (after all, we earned it—we’d hiked dozens of miles!).

One of the most heartwarming experiences was visiting a local school. We made bracelets with the children, danced with them, and were reminded that joy is a universal language. Children have this way of cutting through the noise and reminding you what really matters.

The Wild Beauty of Chitwan National Park

Our final leg took us to Chitwan National Park in search of the elusive Bengal tiger. While the tiger stayed hidden, we did spot majestic rhinos, playful monkeys, and vibrant birdlife. The wildlife was incredible—but what stood out most was the bond our group had formed. Ten strangers (well, nine plus my dear friend Demi, who co-owns Sacred Earth Adventures with her amazing partner Kade) had become a family.

The Soul of Sacred Earth Adventures

Sacred Earth Adventures, created by Demi and Kade, is built on the belief that the outdoors can be a portal to inner transformation. And after walking their path, I completely agree. This experience wasn’t just a trip—it was transformation. Demi and Kade have woven something magical into the Sacred Earth Adventures offerings. It’s not just about where you go—it’s about what you uncover along the way.

And that’s what makes Sacred Earth Adventures in the Himalayas so extraordinary. It’s travel rooted in self-discovery. It’s spiritual growth disguised as an epic journey. It’s laughter and firelight, sore muscles and strong hearts.

For anyone seeking a deeper connection—with nature, with themselves, with humanity—this is your sign. When the universe gives you the thumbs-up, you listen.

And when the Himalayas call? You go!!
