We are sometimes tired,  in a sweat , covered with dust, bumped up and down.

My trips are NOT holiday-relaxation, but adventure-experience and relaxation for your mind.

 

Your satisfaction, strong experience, our friendship and adventure is the most important to me!

 

All my trips are active and are including treks in high mountains.

 

 

Carry animals

If possible (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Himalayas) we complete our treks with help of horses, donkeys, lamas or porters. They help us to carry our heavy bags so we can walk over high passes with our daypacks only.

Our horseman-cook prepares for us tasty breakfasts , dinners and afternoon teas or coffees.

 

Another activities

Our mountain days are supplemented by other activities like river rafting, horse riding, sea kayaking, climbing, glacier walking, museum and sights visiting, etc. According to your wishes.

I take in mind good acclimatization before entering high mountains.

 

Participants - Groups

Most of my groups count 7-8 participants. It is pleasant number of people building one group. Most of participants are at the age of 25-65 years but I have some 70+ years old fit participants as well. I´m really happy to see couples, friends and parents with adult "children" travelling together. There is not much more than strong mountain experience.

 

I´m very glad and pleased that many participants return to our next journeys. We have already had 3-4-5 trips with some of them together. 

I´m honest with description of the trips. There is nothing I would like to hide from you.

 

Duration of  the trips

Most of my trips are 3-4 weeks long. Please do your best to have as much time as possible so we can visit remote places and acclimatise properly. There is no reason to rush on our journeys. We enjoy our holidays - my aim is not to see all what the place/country can offer, but to enjoy less places more deeply. 

 

 

"We will not conquer  the mountain tops  but walk  silently through the country with respect to local communities and traditions."

We will accept the changes in our programme caused by weather and nature with humbleness and humillity.

 

I will do my best to prepare interesting  varied programme for you.

 

 

 

I have organized and led in last couple years :

 

18 trips to Himalayas - Ladakh (2002-2018) 

 

Long trekking-pilgrimage journey (14-22 trekking days) to most remote places in Zanskar. We cross many high passes in the land of snow leopard, visit hiden valleys, canyons, villages and monasteries. Our journey takes us to meet lovely people, nice mountains and strong buddhist culture.

 

10 trips to Colombia (Venezuela, Equador - 2006 -2018) 

 

Very varied trip. We walk in the jungle to the Lost City. Rest on the Carribean beaches in the national park Tayrona, climb the snow hills of Cocuy, ride horses and raft rivers. Visit  archeological sights of San Augustin or Tierradentro. Visit tallest palms in Valle de Cocora and much more. Colombia is still in many parts untouristy country with standard safety situation comparable with other South American countries. We  haven´t faced any troubles in our last six journeys.

 

 

20 trips to Peru and Bolivia (2008- 2018) 

 

Very nice connection of the interesting places of inca and preinca sights and some of the most beautiful trekking routes in the world. We trek with horses/donkeys support in Cordillera HUAYHUASH, Cordillera BLANCA (PN Huascaran) or in Cordillera Vilcanota (Sacred mtn. of Ausangate). Very varied journey.

 

 

 

PRIVAT JOURNEYS

 

In case you have a group of friends (4-6-8-10) I would be pleased to prepare and lead a private trip according to your dreams and requests.

 

Your trips can be organized and tailor-made to South America, Himalayas or anywhere alse. 

Into the mountains, rainforests, desserts, to the beaches.  

On horse back, in boats,  or walking.

 

Don´t hesitate to contact me to fulfill your dreams!
