This trip to Nepal was, in every sense of the word, life-changing. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that we were in for something special, but the experience far exceeded even my highest expectations. Incredible Value & Expert Passion It is honestly mind-blowing how much was included for the price we paid. We received so much more than expected, and that is a direct testament to Sarah and Kory. Their passion and dedication shine through in every single detail of the journey. You can tell they don't just "run" a tour—they pour their hearts into it. Seamless Organization The logistics were handled with absolute perfection. Everything was thoughtfully curated, including: The Agenda: A perfect balance of activity and reflection. Accommodations: Each hotel was excellent and well-chosen. Food & Comfort: We felt completely taken care of at every turn. Deep Spiritual Insights A true highlight was the spiritual guidance provided throughout the journey: Authentic Practice: Kory’s own Buddhism practice and teachings provided a great opportunity to really get to know the philosophy. Integrity: It is rare to see someone (both Sarah and Kory) who so clearly practices what they preach, and that authenticity made the lessons resonate even more deeply. Unique Cultural Immersion What truly sets this trip apart, however, is the team’s deep connection to the local culture. Sarah and Kory have unique insights into Nepal and Kathmandu that the average traveler simply wouldn't have access to. Because of their relationships, doors were opened for us to have profound, life-changing meetings with monks and nuns in Buddhist monasteries. These are experiences I will carry with me forever. Final Verdict If you are looking for a trip that is perfectly organized, deeply spiritual, and offers incredible value, I cannot recommend this journey highly enough. Thank you to Sarah, Kory, and Amanda for an experience of a lifetime. Best, Mo

The Spiritual Pilgrimage in Nepal was an incredible time - words can’t describe how special! The leads were so knowledgeable and I was able to receive teachings on exactly the things I was hoping to learn about. The food was lovely, especially at NamoBudhha where they have an incredible chef! Meditation and yoga practice every morning was the perfect was to start the day. The entire trip was balanced and allowed for connection, spiritual depth, and soaking up the beautiful culture and views in Kathmandu! Thank you to Cory, John, and Bidur for an inspiring and soulful experience. I can’t wait to go back!

Sharing this pilgrimage in Nepal with John and Cory has been a deeply meaningful experience in my journey as a student and practitioner. I had wanted to visit Nepal for many years, and I am extremely happy to have finally had the opportunity to experience this extraordinary country. The journey allowed us to explore many aspects of Buddhism that I had been wanting to return to and study more deeply. Prof John Campbell guided us each day through our practice, allowing everyone to follow their own pace, experience and individual needs. I particularly appreciated the gentle approach to the physical practice, without forcing or placing too much emphasis on it. Meditation and the exploration of Tibetan Buddhist traditions were a fundamental part of the pilgrimage and gave a deeper dimension to our daily experience. We visited places of profound spiritual significance, and I felt there was a beautiful balance between daily practice, meditation, visits to sacred sites, rest, and the afternoon Dharma teachings we received from Lamas and Rinpoches within the Vajrayāna tradition. For me, this was not simply a journey through places, but an opportunity to encounter teachings, practices and traditions that I hope to continue exploring through both my personal practice and my academic studies. I am deeply grateful to have had this experience. I feel that it is not the end of a journey, but the beginning of a path that will continue through study, practice and future pilgrimages. Thank you to John, Cory, Bidur and everyone who shared this journey with me. Simona Nucera🙏 Shala mandala
