"This
divine wilderness is the trekker's delight, the mountaineer's challenge,
the photographer's paradise, Nature's own botanical garden and a sanctuary
of variegated fauna."

We are Britain's
only guiding business to offer climbs and treks exclusively
in the magnificent Indian Himalaya. For the past 15 years
we have expeditioned in the Garhwal, Kumaon and Ladakh regions,
climbing in the shadow of the great Nanda Devi and the sacred
peaks of Gangotri. Here are ranges offering exploration and
pioneering where few Western parties visit and where the natural
environment is intact.
