A partnership with Himalayan Quests

I am delighted that I will be working with Kate and Amrit Ale, founders of Himalayan Quests. Amrit is an internationally accredited outdoors expert and educator, with over a decade of experience leading treks, expeditions and experiential learning courses at home and abroad.  Alongside HQ he also works as an instructor for the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and experiential learning market leader, Where There Be Dragons. Each winter he teaches ice climbing for the Khumbu Climbing Centre, teaching high altitude Sherpas technical skills ahead of the expedition season. Kate’s background is in global event management, but since 2004, she has been running grassroots development and volunteer programmes in Nepal. One thing that Amrit won't tell you, but I will...he has climbed Mount Everest! So rest assured, if you join one of their tours or treks you will be in very safe hands!


I attach example tours and treks to give you a flavour of what you can experience in Nepal and Bhutan. All tours can be tailored to you or your groups requirements ie length of tour, hotel preferences, interests, different trek options and excursions. Flights to Nepal are not included but I am happy to book these for you, along with any additional stop overs.
