What level of comfort can I expect?
On all our trekking & cycling adventures we camp in comfort, using the best equipment. All your gear is carried (except where specified) and meals are cooked for you while our staff prepare the camp. On our adventures our accompanying leader and staff take care of your day to day needs while you stay in local hotels and travel in comfortable private vehicles.
How safe is it?
On all our trips your well-being is our first priority. Our travel partner staff constantly review every aspect of your adventure and our expert guides are fully conversant with the demands of traveling in remote regions.
Where do we stay?
To capture the essence of your journey we have wherever possible selected accommodation with local character. In the cities our hotel rooms are on a twin share basis with private facilities. In remote localities you can expect simple, clean but more basic facilities. When in the field we provide the best possible camping service complete with comfortable two person tents, a mess tent and toilet tent.
What about the food?
We are fully aware of the healthy appetites that build up when trekking, cycling or touring and provide tasty and varied meals with plenty of fresh ingredients.
