DISCOVER REMOTE CULTURES IN AMAZING PLACES
Travelling with us means not only trekking in some of the most spectacular remote locations on earth, but also on forging links with remote communities. It means experiencing traditional cultures in a way that few travel companies do, in countries as diverse as remote Tibetan Nepal, Armenia and Uganda.
Get unique insights into the beliefs, stories legends and the daily lives of these remote cultures through tapping into local expertise and indigenous wisdom.
Our links with remote communities, traditional herbalists, lamas and monks, village elders, traditional households, forest people, yak herders and nomadic traders create unique trekking journeys with authentic and meaningful interactions with cultures that we can learn so much from.

Our Vision
We believe that ethical eco-tourism, if done correctly, can have positive impacts on remote and fragile communities and environments.
Journeys that tap into local wisdom and knowledge and seek to create a deeper understanding of the culture, lives and eco-systems of remote areas are inevitably more enriching and interesting.
These journeys can support fragile communities by ensuring that we use their skills and purchase locally wherever possible.
We believe in a slower form of trekking, where there is real interaction with local communities, with locals guiding us through the areas in which they live. Travel which is truly economically beneficial to them and their communities.
