Find your way back to stillness.

The philosophy

We believe travel can change the way you see the world — and yourself.

Every journey is designed around a balance. Days that ask something of your legs, and days that ask nothing at all. Trails, villages, monasteries, and long silences in between.

Adventure

High passes, long days, the body asked to work.

Stillness

A sit before breakfast. An afternoon with nothing planned.

Nature

Gorge, forest, pasture and glacier on one trail.

Culture

Nubri and Tsum villages, monasteries, the people who live here.

Reflection

What follows you home a week after the trek.

The Himalayan experience

The rhythm of a journey.

Responsible travel

We walk lightly, and we hire from the valleys we walk through.

Hired from the valley

Guides, porters and cooks come from each region and are paid above union rate. Loads capped at 20 kg.

Family-run stays

Teahouses and monasteries, never camps that bypass the villages.

Leave no trace

We carry out what we carry in. Gas replaces firewood above the treeline.
