Destinations

That which is truly pristine is reachable only by walking. And since the places we have chosen to focus offer you such dramatic isolation, it is only natural that you soak in this solitude without undue exertion. In accordance with that ideal, we have designed daily breathtaking walks & hikes that cover 6-8 miles on moderate to hilly terrain. Our guides lead you through the many vivid images of the flora, fauna, geology and culture, and also attend to the details of introducing you to the local cultures, the delicious delicacies and markets as well as arrange all accommodations and transportation of your luggage.
