Who are GirlsTrek trips designed for?

Our treks are created exclusively for women who love walking, adventure, and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or new to trekking, we welcome women who want to enjoy the perfect balance of walking, indulgence, and cultural experiences.

Can’t find a date that works for you? Don’t worry. With GirlsTrek, you have two options:
