Everest region and Annapurna region
His name has been mentioned in the latest issue of National Geographic Adventure magazine Dec, 2009. |
Occasionally, we receive a pat in the back, reassurance that we are on the right track. In November 2009, National Geographic Adventure Magazine mentioned us as recommended operator for the Great Himalayan Trail, one of the 25 best new trips in the planet!
We have also been nominated five times (2006 - 09) for the Responsible Tourism Awards in the UK. We have not won any awards as yet, but each nomination or mention encourages us even more. Thanks to all who have helped make this happen.
