Our
Journeys
At Responsible Adventures our focus is in combining excellent
logistical preparation with companionable and highly skilled
leaders/guides, to offer you trekking expeditions that are completed
in style. Our reputation is based on the number of well-run
trekking expeditions we have completed and the fact is proven
by the number of clients who keep coming back to adventure with
us.
Our extensive experience and scientific approach minimizes unnecessary
hardship, giving you the benefit of a more certain outcome.
If you share a love for the mountains and remote places and
want to achieve your exploratory goals in an environment with
the most dedicated team, then we welcome you to join a Responsible
Adventures' trekking expedition.
To further help you choose the very best adventure, we use a
comprehensive Grading
System, which identifies an individual trip's level of difficulty
and enables you to easily compare the difficulty of two or more
trips. Additionally, our When
to Go chart shows you the best time of year to visit each
destination.
We Offer Hand-Crafted and Artfully Designed Itineraries
Itinerary design, done well, is an art form, and it makes all
of the difference to your experience. Each of our journeys is
carefully designed to capture the very best of that particular
destination. You travel at an appropriate pace, stay in the
most charming, well-located inns or most spectacular camping
sites, enjoy introductions to fascinating local people, and
make discoveries of off-the-beaten-path gems--hidden villages,
secret footpaths, special little cafes--that only an "insider"
could know about.
No Matter How Remote the Destination,
We Bring the Good Life
Even though some of our trips go to very remote places and
include camping, we make sure you enjoy plenty of home comforts.
On the camping treks, you have a full camp staff at your service
and camp amenities like dining tents and hot coffee or tea,
brought to your tent each morning and supplementary snacks
during the walk.
Small Group Travel Means Traveling
with Friends
Who goes on our trips? Friends, couples, singles-all people
who are active, enthusiastic, and share a great curiosity
about the world. They love to set off on a great hike, learn
new things, and meet local people. Most folks who join our
trips are already very well-traveled, and many have traveled
with us before. Our wonderful Trip Leaders add to the convivial
atmosphere, as do evenings of laughter and conversation over
a good meal with fellow trip members who often become lifelong
friends.
We Handle All Your Travel
Details
Our Area Managers specialize in a particular part of the world
and they possess a wealth of knowledge about our destinations.
That means they can answer your questions frankly and promptly
and help you choose a trip that's right for you. The Detailed
Daily Itinerary for each trip provides helpful preparation
information, and we are happy to put you in contact with previous
trip members who have been on the trip you're interested in
so you can ask them about their experience. When you sign
up, which you can do by phone with a credit card deposit,
the Area Manager is usually your single point of contact,
taking care of trip details, air ticketing and trip extensions,
and providing you with specifics on everything from clothing
to visas to immunizations. We also provide a reading list
to spark your imagination for the journey ahead. In short,
we take care of every detail so you can just pack your duffel
and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. In the field,
this high level of service continues in the good hands of
our world-class Trip Leaders.
We Travel Responsibly
As Responsible Adventures plays its small part in the world's
largest industry--tourism--we are sensitive to the effects
of travel on the places we visit. Our commitment to ecologically
responsible, low-impact tourism goes back a very long time,
and we actively support conservation and cultural groups.
We firmly believe that responsible
tourism can be an extraordinary tool to connect people
across borders and cultures.
Your Safety Is Our Most Important
Charge
Our Trip Leaders and support staff take the utmost care with
every aspect of your trip, from altitude-related concerns
to ensuring hygienic food preparation in camp. Of course,
emergencies are extremely rare, but traveling with a company
as experienced as we are adds a strong element of safety and
security to all journeys. |
