# Welcome to Lisbon Hiking and Meditation
Connecting with Nature, Mindful Presence, Community, and Culture — Locally and Globally
### Our Story and Vision
Lisbon Hiking and Meditation began with a simple idea: bringing people together to experience nature not just as a backdrop, but as a space for genuine connection, presence, and cultural exchange.
The group was founded by Aman, who brought to Lisbon more than a decade of experience as a mountain guide in his home country of Nepal, leading treks through the Himalayas and Mount Everest. For Aman, hiking has always been about much more than reaching a summit. Through his work with Nomads (https://thenomadexperience.com)—an organization dedicated to conscious trekking in Nepal and across Asia—Aman is passionate about introducing travelers to local cultures, traditional ways of life, social projects, and local communities.
When Aman moved to Lisbon, he established this group to share that spirit of discovery, building a local bridge for anyone curious about immersive, culturally rooted trekking experiences in Asia while enjoying the trails around Lisbon.
### Growing the Trail Together
As Aman’s family and professional commitments expanded, the group needed a fresh pair of feet on the ground to keep the trail alive. Enter Massimo (Max), an Italian facilitator who joined the group after 20 years in the UK, bringing deep experience from years spent in intentional communities and Buddhist monasteries.
With Massimo stepping in to facilitate and lead our weekly walks, the group has entered a vibrant new chapter. Massimo brings a deep passion for community-building and a meditative approach to nature, helping us slow down, cultivate presence, and connect meaningfully with one another and the landscapes around Lisbon.
### What We Stand For
Together, our group bridges the local and the global, the inner and the outer journey:
- Inner Connection: Led by Massimo, our Lisbon walks offer space for mindfulness, quiet reflection, and conscious gathering in nature.
- Community Spirit: A welcoming, inclusive space to meet like-minded people, build lasting friendships, and recharge outside the city.
- Global Horizons: Rooted in Aman’s ongoing vision and his work with Nomads, our group remains a doorway to authentic cultural trekking experiences in Nepal and across Asia for those inspired to explore further.
Whether you are looking for a mindful walk in the hills around Lisbon, a friendly community of nature lovers, or inspiration for your next big journey abroad, you’ll find a home here.
