FAQs:
Ruh-roh–RAGGY!!! How do we book our flights when we don’t know where we’re going?
Have no fear! Due to the mysterious nature of this trek, we purchase your plane tickets for you. Some meals are also included on this trek. Due to fluctuating airfare prices, we do not have a concrete price at this point. However, please plan to pay around $3,000 for included trek costs.
FREDDDD! How am I supposed to know how many pairs of heels I need? Looks like we got ourselves a mystery, but don’t worry, what to pack won’t be one of them. You’ll be provided a packing list within a week of leaving on the trek.
Jinkies! Do I need a Visa? NOTE: This year’s mystery trek will not include additional visa requirements for domestic students. For international trekkers – to keep from solving the mystery too soon – please reach out to the trek leaders for more information!
