With conservation at the core of each of our journeys, our trips are not ordinary holiday packages. Each and every aspect of the journeys is planned in a way that it offers maximum positive impact to the destination, its people and most importantly YOU. Some of the critical aspects like cultural exchanges with locals, environmentally conscious accommodations, local leaders and guides are the very essence of our trips but we go deeper in ensuring that we are adding values to the lives of locals by visiting them - we support the local charities financially, our restaurant visits are adequately distributed with different local joints, we decarbonise our carbon emitted as a result of operating the trip, use of local ground transport to the maximum once we have reached our destination, are just some of the ways we create an impactful travel experience for all.

The Outdoors is our learning ground, its where we go to heal and to connect with ourselves. Leaving the hyper connection which the internet offers our trips get you off the grid - and a chance to immerse in something which really matters to your Mind, Body and Soul. By focusing our trips on these three core aspects, we try to create a positive impact on you. We create time for you to do a total reset - our Great Outdoor Therapy. We believe that every aspect of the outdoors helps us see things as they are meant to be, with no filters. It is what it is and when we form that connect it helps us rethink all those aspects of life which were bothering us more than they need to. The essence of every trip we plan is to explore the nature in abundance - the choices of stay, the activities, the meals, the people we meet along the way - offers us a story in sync with the nature. These fine elements intrinsically built in our itineraries offers the mind and heart to relax and learn to focus and truly listen - it will set you up for the life back home!
We believe nothing in life should be less than extraordinary and that is what we work towards on each of our journeys. We don’t bring the ordinary to our travellers, we bring real life experiences which are authentic, true and meticulously planned so you get to see the wilderness our planet has to offer. We go to the extreme to ensure that each of the journeys are wild yet safe for you. Be it witnessing a Humpback breaching in Antarctica or Heli-skiing the wild Arctic. Our journeys are more than just holidays to remember, these would take you to faraway places which are wildly off the tourist path and some of them may have not experienced human presence before. Each of the journeys are carefully crafted with local experts who are avid explorers who have spent years learning about the places and creating experiences which can’t be just picked off any guide book.
Adventure Travel and Trade Association is to empower the global travel community to protect natural and cultural capital while creating economic value that benefits both trade members and destinations. Established in 1990, the association is the largest global network of adventure travel leaders. The community is made up of ~30,000 individual guides, tour operators, lodges, travel advisors, tourism boards, destination marketing and management organizations, outdoor educators, gear companies and travel media who share a belief and commitment to sustainable tourism. Travel and tourism make up the world’s largest commercial service sector, employing 1 in every 10 people on Earth as of 2018.
Any type of tourism significantly impacts the economic well being of people and the environment. Dominated as it is by small businesses working in rural or wilderness environments, adventure tourism is even more dependent than other forms of tourism on human and nature capital. The protection and thoughtful promotion of these resources is crucial not just for adventure travel’s continued success but for the social, cultural and environmental integrity of any destination. THE ADVENTURE TRAVEL TRADE ASSOCIATION IS A VITAL LEADERSHIP VOICE AND PARTNER FOR THE ADVENTURE TRAVEL INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD FOR SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM.
