More HOBNAIL ADVENTURES
Bhutan
A Himalayan pilgrimage through sacred peaks, hidden valleys, and timeless culture, the Jomolhari Trek in Bhutan is more than just a scenic hike — it’s a transformative journey. Over 11 days, you’ll climb to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery (above), cross the 15,978-foot Nyele La Pass, and trek through a remote world of yak herders, glacial rivers, and ancient traditions. With its unspoiled landscapes and spiritual heartbeat, Bhutan offers not only breathtaking views, but the kind of clarity that comes from stepping off the map and into something deeper.
Ecuador
Hobnail’s two Ecuador itineraries showcase the country’s striking diversity in unforgettable ways. The Ecuadorian Odyssey blends cultural discovery with light adventure, taking you from Quito’s colonial heart to the cloud forests of Mindo, the Amazon Basin, and the legendary Galápagos Islands—where you’ll hike, snorkel, and spot iconic wildlife like giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. Expedition Galápagos is a 10-day dedicated exploration of these incredible islands. With cozy haciendas, expert guides, and scenery ranging from jungle to mountains to islands, these trips offer two thrilling ways to explore Ecuador.
Iceland & the Faroe Islands: A Nordic Odyssey
The Nordic Odyssey is a journey through two of the North Atlantic’s most captivating landscapes, blending natural wonder with authentic cultural immersion. Hike across fresh lava fields, trek ancient coastal trails, snorkel between tectonic plates, and dine with local families who share their stories and traditions. Guided by expert hosts and carefully crafted for comfort and adventure, this experience offers an unforgettable window into the wild beauty, history, and heart of Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Patagonia
The Patagonian Odyssey is a 13-day journey through Chile’s southern wilderness, blending world-class trekking with unforgettable cultural experiences. Explore Torres del Paine National Park, hiking to the iconic Towers, the dramatic French Valley, and the massive Grey Glacier. Cruise to Magdalena Island to see Magellanic penguins, and visit a working Patagonian estancia for a horseback ride and traditional BBQ with local gauchos.
Spain
The Camino Primitivo is the original Camino de Santiago — older, quieter, and more demanding than the more traveled routes. Over nine carefully structured days, you’ll cross northern Spain from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela, moving on foot, on horseback, and by electric bike. The miles are real. So is the experience that unfolds when you move through them with intention.
Tanzania
We’re thrilled to bring you two of Tanzania’s most iconic, bucket list experiences. First, take on a life-changing ascent of mighty Africa’s highest and most famous peak — Mount Kilimanjaro. If you want to experience Tanzania in a less strenous way, embark on an incredible 11-day safari throughout the country’s greatest national parks and conservation areas.

I chose Hobnail Trekking Co. for my trip to Everest Basecamp and Gokyo Lakes. Hobnail helped create one of the fondest memories and experiences I have ever had. Mark and Holly were so incredibly attentive and had thought of every little detail to make our trip special. Our guides were so present and supportive to the group and made every day on the trail incredible. I can’t recommend this company more!! Don’t wait any longer, sign up NOW!
My experience with Hobnail made me change my preference between a solo trek and a group trek. For me, a group trek is better than a solo trek. The other trekkers and Sherpas definitely improved the overall experience. Plus, being with an organized group allowed me to focus on the trek and not the compulsory logistics (flights, lodging, where to eat, what to eat, etc). This adventure was exactly what I was looking for.
I had an amazing experience with Hobnail Trekking on my recent to trip to Peru! The app they’ve created has everything you need including your flight info, detailed itinerary and even recommendations for places to check out for each city you’re in. Mark and Holly were easy to reach and communicate with prior to the trip as well as during. Felt very informed, supported and prepared each step of the way. Would 10/10 recommend anyone thinking about going on one of their trips to say YES!!
This is an ideal trek for someone who wants challenging hiking during the day with wonderful views and scenery, but also it is very comfortable for overnight accommodations. Of course, like with any trek, it helps to have a good attitude, not expect everything to be like it is here, and be able to be happy with all the good things and let anything else just go. Loved the trek, thought the guides were great, and Hobnail was very responsive and nice about everything. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about this trek and Hobnail Trekking.
