 Why book with us

  • We operate our treks in the Himalaya to high standards: we do not cut costs by paying porters and guides low wages and we do not cut corners by leaving out critical things like pulse oxymeters or being fully bonded and insured. But because you book direct with us you still get great prices. So if you find a trek with everything we include at a lower price just let us know and we will do our best to price match.
  • The whole of your trip can be tailor made to your requirement: your choice of routes, length of trek and dates in a custom made trip
  • Private airport collection, hotels before and after the trek, internal flights, park fees, guides and porters and all your accommodation on the trek.
  • Safety is the highest priority on all our Everest treks with detailed risk assessments and guides who are all trained in first aid and altitude sickness prevention
  • We have full insurance for all public liability risks with a Lloyds backed insurer and are a fully bonded member of ABTA so that all monies paid to us are secure.
  • We operate to the highest standards of responsible travel. Our porters are treated well and we support the Leave no Trace rules so that the Himalaya are not spoiled.
