About Us

In 1975, we laced up our hiking boots and hit the Himalayan trails with our first group of trekkers to Nepal. Our philosophy was a simple one; to provide extraordinary adventures for small groups of travellers with a keen focus on responsible tourism and providing support to local communities. 

We haven’t slowed down since. 

Today, our itineraries span every continent, offering a range of authentic adventures from multi-day treks and cultural journeys to cycle journeys and mountaineering expeditions. 

As we have evolved, so too have our Responsible Travel initiatives that remain at the heart of our global operations. 

Supported by some of the world’s most experienced and respected adventurers, we continue to innovate groundbreaking itineraries, refine our classics and to take our travellers truly off the beaten path each year.

To leave the world a better place, environmentally and socially, following our sustainable active outdoor travel charter.

OUR PURPOSE

OUR MISSION

To lead as a global adventure travel brand that brings people together through active outdoor experiences that foster a deep appreciation for the world's delicate ecosystems and diverse cultures, all driven by our dedication to sustainable and regenerative travel.
