Transformational Student Trips

At Extravagant Yak, we know that travel can be transformational. Whether it's challenging yourself physically with a 5-day trek on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, or connecting with locals through service projects, our aim with every student trip is to partner with schools in growing world changers.
