Testimonials .

Here is what Jack from California had to say about our Kilimanjaro/Mt. Kenya/Safari:

"The leaders made considerable efforts to insure a great climb on Kenya and memorable trekking of the Circuit Route around the massif. Climbing guides especially were all amazing in knowledge of mountain craft, experience and patience.

I was able to make the summit in the company of clients and guides from all over the world; Canada, Germany, Holland, Kenya and the US. The backgrounds among all the people here are equally as varied and interesting."

Here is what Nicola from Australia, now living in London, had to say:

Tibetan-English Speaking Guides and Tours for the Group

(we are also able to provide Tibetan French and German speakers). Our trained guides will explain everything in extensive and historical/geographical detail to you, as they lead you on tours of famous historic sites and explain the goings-on as you drive through villages, past Everest, and through the Tibetan plateau.

Professional Drivers and Licensed Tourist Transport:

All of our vehicles in Tibet are licensed by the Tibetan Government and operated by trained Tibetans at the wheel. In Nepal we use government licensed drivers and transport as well.

Cooks and Food: On the road we eat in the best quality local restaurants possible. In villages and cities, we eat in the hotel restaurants, or dine in one of the many cafes and restaurants. Food is freshly prepared, with your choice of fresh vegetables, potatoes, rice, bread, eggs, and meats.
