Plan a trip

A small team that has been there.

Planners and guides who build each journey by hand, and answer the phone when you are on it.

Our story

[Your story.] We started with one route, walked a dozen times before we sold it once.

The idea has not changed since. Somebody on our team has to have done the whole journey, recently, before a guest does. That is why the list is short, and why it changes slowly.

We stay small on purpose. The planner who takes your first call is the one who books your rooms, briefs your guide and picks up the phone if a pass is closed.

What we believe.

  • Walked first

    Nothing goes on sale until one of us has done it end to end. Brochures lie; boots don’t.

  • Small on purpose

    A handful of guests fits round one table, in one vehicle, and in the huts and camps worth staying in.

  • Honest about effort

    If a day is long, steep or cold we say so, and tell you what you get for it.

  • Light on the place

    Local guides, family-run rooms and groups small enough that a village is glad to see us.

The people who plan it.

One planner per region, each living there or guiding there for years.

Three conversations. Then you pack.

  1. Tell us where

    A 30-minute call about how you like to travel: the pace, the comfort, the one thing you have to see.

  2. We draw the route

    A day-by-day plan with real prices and named guides. Change anything until it feels like yours.

  3. You go

    Permits, transfers and tables are booked. One number to call, day or night, while you are away.

Talk to one of us.

The first call is free, and there is nobody to sell to you: planners plan.
