(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 28, 2010 ) INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Travelers can join Neubauer on a trip with Myths and Mountains – one of National Geographic’s “Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth.” She has been leading tours through Nepal for decades — so long, in fact, that she has become one of only a handful of Westerners fluent in Nepali.

The real core of Neubauer’s Nepal program is to give adventurers the opportunity to learn something fascinating about the world on a trip that really delves beneath the surface. For example, the Lo Manthang trip not only explores the culture and festivals of the people of Mustang, but also focuses on READ Global. READ inspires rural prosperity by building a Community Library and Resource Center in a village and seeding a local business to fully sustain and support the library, as well as provide local jobs. ‘A hand up, not a hand out’, as Neubauer puts it.

“The READ trips allow you to get inside a country. They (travelers) come back with real perceptions,” Neubauer said.”It’s great going into a country where people are happy to see you because you’re collaborating with them to better their lives. It also gives locals a chance to meet us too. All the way around, it’s a great opportunity for idea exchange.”

While most travelers focus on the physical challenges associated with trekking, that’s all just part of the package on a Myths and Mountains trip. Hiking up and down the steep inclines of the Himalayas’ rugged terrain and learning about the environment – that’s icing on the cake.
Nepal may be the so-called ‘grandfather’ of trekking, but Bhutan and Tibet are nipping at its heels as the next big destinations. For those travelers that are interested in trekking trips that are on the road less traveled, Myths and Mountains operate several trips through these up and coming adventure travel hot spots. Their trips through Bhutan and Tibet stick with the ‘insider’s access’ itineraries allowing for the most authentic and adventurous experience possible. Bhutan is sparsely populated and has a certain level of restricted access – making for an intriguing journey through rarely explored territory. In Tibet, there is a consistent intrigue surrounding the spirituality, ancient cities, art and political disarray.

Whether travelers are looking for a truly experiential trip or are ready to embark on their first adventure trek, Myths and Mountains is ready to take it to the next level. They offer scheduled departures, but are particularly known for customizing itineraries to match each traveler’s tastes and interests. The company is also a member of Trusted Adventures, a consortium of award-winning companies matching active travelers with over 350 unique trips walking, rafting, cycling and trekking in over 85 destinations worldwide.
