Women's Expeditions
When you travel and experience a Global Treks women's expedition, you immerse yourself in the culture and landscape with the lens of an active member of the community. Our expeditions are full of women who are excited to visit a world different from their regular daily routines, spend time getting to know their new travel companions, and share moments that cross borders and intertwine lives. Our guides are passionate about embracing the moment and will empower you with the skills and confidence needed to safely explore the world to get the most out of your experience.
The locations we visit are intentional. We choose to visit places off the beaten path, taking part in activities and cultural ceremonies that uncover the many layers of our world. We encourage interactions with local community members, international cuisine, and the setting sun. Our travel companions are each members of our Global Treks Family, and are treated so. Accommodations are all personally selected by our program directors and guides to provide authentic and comfortable stays while maintaining a level of ease that keeps our clients returning year after year. It is our goal to treat every day of the itinerary as another opportunity to relax, reflect and explore the world while supporting sustainable travel practices.
We welcome all women to our expeditions, from young women beginning their adult journeys to the adventurous octogenarian. The sisterhood of Global Treks is strong, and we look forward to continuing to grow each season.
