🌲 Backpacking Isn’t Just for Hardcore Adventurers
Backpacking might sound intimidating—giant packs, steep climbs, and survival gear. But that’s not what this trip is about.
At Women’s Adventure Travel Network, our beginner-friendly trips are designed to help women feel powerful in the outdoors, no matter their background or experience level.
👣 So... What’s It Actually Like?
Imagine standing at the trailhead with a supportive group of women, most of them beginners—just like you.
💬 There’s laughter, shared nerves, and the quiet courage that comes from doing something new.
We take it slow. Our trail is chosen to challenge without overwhelming, and our guides are here to teach and support—not to test you.
🛠️ You’ll Learn:
How to pack and adjust your backpack
How to set up camp and cook outdoors
How to filter your own drinking water

🎒 You Don’t Need Fancy Gear or Experience
This trip is a starting point, not a test.
We'll help you prepare with:
A simple packing list
Gear recommendations and rental options
Ongoing support from our team before departure

🌌 What Happens on the Trail?
✨ You slow down.✨ You laugh around a campfire.✨ You sleep under the stars.✨ You connect—with nature, with yourself, and with others.
“Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s action in spite of it.”
Every moment on the trail is an invitation to grow. You’ll be surprised at what you’re capable of.
