Group Trips 2026
Two adventures - very different in style and intensity.
(6pm Europe time, noon CET, 9am PDT)
Two completely different trips
I picked two very different adventures. Nepal is a classic Himalayan teahouse trek - hiking almost every day and moving hut-to-hut, similar to how I travel and film. It’s demanding and not for everyone. Bolivia is a road-based adventure with shorter hikes - we cover multiple locations, see a lot in a short time, and it’s suitable for almost everyone. Think cinematic, scenery-first Bolivia across the altiplano.
Nepal
Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes - Cho La Pass - teahouse trek
- Location: Nepal - Khumbu (Everest region)
- Dates: October 6 - 21, 2026
- Duration: 16 days
- Spots: 8 - 16 spots (limited)
- Style: Multi-day teahouse trek (hiking most days)
- Included: 2 nights in Kathmandu, domestic flights, 16 days trekking with accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, guides (4:1 ratio), and porters.
- Highlights: Gokyo Lakes, Cho La Pass, Everest Base Camp, Sherpa villages and monasteries, Kala Patthar views.
- Notes from Harmen: I’m revisiting (in my opinion) the most beautiful part of Nepal. This trek is based on my first Himalayas film, and Gokyo is part of that route.
If you’re interested in going, please send an email to youtube@harmenhoek.com.
If there’s enough interest, I might host a second trip this year.
I just had a quick chat with Himalayan Glacier, and we’ve decided to open up two additional spots. Check the website!
Bolivia
Altiplano road adventure - salt flats - deserts - short hikes
- Location: Bolivia - La Paz & Uyuni (Altiplano)
- Dates: December 14 - 20, 2026

- Notes from Harmen: This place has been high on my list to visit. It’s an absolute photographer’s paradise with surreal landscapes. The perfect trip to explore new landscapes and cultures together.
after that: US$2,895 per person.
Three years of group trips
I’ve been organizing group trips for three years, and they’ve become a highlight of my year. I never expected to enjoy it this much as a solo traveler, but sharing an adventure with like-minded people from all over the world is incredibly fun.
Smaller groups - better experience
The groups have been getting bigger, and I felt they were starting to lose that intimate vibe. So this year I’m hosting two smaller trips - better group dynamic, and more choice.
Harmen is a great guy, very friendly and generous, and excellent in bringing a group of people together.
Another memorable experience. Grateful for meeting so many interesting and open-minded travelers.
Even though Harmen is a YouTuber with tons of subscribers, he’s incredibly down-to-earth and approachable. He loved sharing everything about his adventures, and by the end of the trip, we’d become really good friends.
Spots are limited and early-bird bookings go fast - secure your spot soon from January 9 on.

I used to write detailed itineraries of my trips. Although I don't do this anymore, you can still find the old ones here.
Madeira
In January of 2023 I spent 10 days hiking 175 kilometers on the Island of Madeira, part of Portugal. The diverse island, in both weather and flora, made it an exciting trip.
Wadi Rum
In November 2022 I spent 4 days hiking alone in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan, then found myself among the Bedouins of the Zalabia tribe for 2 days.
The Dolomites
In October of 2022 I hiked part of the Alta Via 2 route in the Dolomites. The Alta Via 2 is one of the dozen or so long distance high routes in the Dolomites, and considered the most difficult and tec
