IN THE HEART OF THE HIMALAYA
Journeys shaped by the people who live there
A DELIBERATE CHOICE
We are a small company, in one valley, and we have never wanted to be anything else.
Every route we run was first walked by the guide who leads it. Nothing here is bought from a wholesaler, and nobody on our team is a contractor hired for the season.

IN THEIR WORDS
What travellers say
We were never once treated like customers. By the third day the guides felt like the friends who happened to know the way, and by the last I was already working out how to come back.
