Choose your trip type from the options below
Treks
Trekking holidays in the countries we visit always involve a number of days of walking and staying in local accommodation, or camping along the way. Treks vary in their level of difficulty and there are detailed itineraries to illustrate what to expect with each one.
Treks are accompanied by very experienced trekking guides who know the area very well and are experts in taking care of you in the mountains. You will also have porterage for your kit so you are only required to carry a day bag.
As with all our trips you are very welcome to call or email us to talk through any questions you may have.
Trekking Peaks
For those wishing to climb trekking peaks are a great adventure. The peaks we offer vary in their level of difficulty from some being suitable for first time climbers, to those requiring more experience. Peaks usually require 2 – 3 weeks to complete including your travel to and from your home country.
All trekking peaks are guided by some of the best Sherpa climbing guides there are and we pride ourselves on having a high ratio of guides to clients. You will also have porterage for your kit so you are only required to carry a day bag.
Expeditions
The expeditions we run are to the highest mountains in the world. We pride ourselves on having some of the best climbing guides in the world to support and assist with your climbing expeditions. These trips are only for experienced climbers and involve a much higher level of risk and require excellent levels of fitness. Many of our clients climbing the expedition peaks have climbed smaller mountains with us as a way of building experience and we welcome those wishing to develop their experience with us.
Although our expeditions are usually guided, we do arrange the logistics for highly experienced groups who do not require guides on the mountain.
All trip details include detailed itineraries however you are very welcome to contact us to discuss what you are looking to achieve.
Cultural Tours
These tours are a wonderful way to experience Nepal, Tibet or Bhutan. These cultural tours are often a very fulfilling and spiritual experience for people and are likely to give a very different experience to current western lifestyles. Guides accompany the trips to ensure the smooth running of your tour and enhance your experience through their deep understanding of the places you visit.
The focus of these trips is to experience the culture of the country and they ‘tend’ to be less physically demanding although not always and the accommodation will be mostly hotels/lodges. There are detailed itineraries that explain clearly what to expect each day and you are very welcome to contact us to discuss what you are looking to achieve from your travels.
