About Brigitte Muir OAM

 

Belgian born Brigitte Muir OAM has had a passion for adventure since she as a child, and after trying caving in high school, she embarked on a high-altitude mountaineering career that spanned over thirty years and seven continents. Brigitte moved to Australia in 1983, after falling in love with the vastness of the continent and its big skies and became Australian in 1987. Ten years later, she was at the top of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in Asia, and last on her quest to climb the highest peak on each continent.

 

She reconverted to storytelling, and teaching people high altitude climbing for World Expeditions in Nepal and Tibet, before dedicating herself to a small subsistence farming village in the Solukhumbu region called Lura. She has been filming there since 2007 and raising funds for women empowerment since 2009.

 

Brigitte’s deep connection with the land and the people allow participants a unique insight into the life of every day Tamang and Sherpa people which is neigh impossible in the more touristy of areas of Solukhumbu, Langtang and Annapurna.

 

If you’re seeking an outdoor holiday with good company, great views and professional tips on how to best trek at altitude, then you just found it. Spring time in Nepal is rhododendron season which means if you’re lucky enough to have clear skies, you’ll be met with the gorgeous fragrance of Nepal’s national flower.

 

The combination of Brigitte’s warm and friendly personality, expert trekking skills and local knowledge means anyone who joins this trip will create memories that will last a lifetime.

 

About the Trek

 

This trek is for people with moderate fitness, and as with any trekking endeavour, it’s advisable to begin training about 4 months in advance. You will be walking between 6 & 8 hours most days.

 

As with all mountain hiking this experience will involve some steep inclines, but you are welcome to take your time and walk at your own pace. There is no rush. Yet if you want to go fast, you have that option too!

 

Brigitte and her Nepalese guides will steer you along the trails where you’ll have time to relax and take in the incredible views of the entire Himalayan range including Everest, Lhotse, Tenkharka and Makalu.

 

Brigitte always endeavours to find the route less travelled.

 

Your special 2024 trekking holiday awaits!
