Our Vision
We believe that ethical and eco-tourism can impact positively on remote and fragile communities and environments if done correctly. 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. But these journeys can also support remote and fragile communities by ensuring that we use local skills and purchase locally wherever possible.
We believe in a slower form of trekking where there is potential for authentic interaction with local communities and where locals become our guides to the areas in which they live. A form of trekking which also economically benefits local communities.
