A welcome sight for any trekker embarking on a trek with Responsible Adventures in Nepal, India, or Tibet is the 6 foot 3” frame of its owner, Raj Tamang who stands head and shoulders above his countrymen – as does his service.

Responsible Adventures’ personalized trekking holidays offers challenging and enjoyable treks led by Raj himself. All of Raj’s staff, from the leader, the guides to the porters, consider your comfort, safety and enjoyment to be their main priorities. Whether you opt for a “grass roots” package deal or a luxury trek, you, the trekker become the guest of honour on tour.

A significant feature of Responsible Adventures’ service is its staff. Raj’s leaders and guides are skilled and experienced. All of the staff are trained in Wilderness First Aid and only those who excel are accepted. All of the leaders and guides are educated, conversant in English, and have an in-depth knowledge of the local culture, history and geography. They have the ability to strike up an easy rapport with the trekkers and locals alike. This is reflected in the excellent service Responsible Adventures receives from the staff in the hotels, restaurants and teahouses along the trek.

Raj can ensure the quality of his staff because of his integrity as their employer. All his staff considers it a privilege to work for Responsible Adventures because they are well equipped, trained and paid, and treated with dignity and respect. Raj deliberately pays his staff, including the porters, more than the going rate so they can work towards becoming financially independent – buying land or oxen. From this they can create a livelihood and a future and their children can go to school. Responsible Adventures is indeed contributing to responsible tourism where the benefits from the tourism are going back into local communities.

Raj’s integrity naturally extends to the pricing of his package deals. Prices are competitive but there are no hidden extra costs. In addition to the grass roots and luxury package deals, Raj offers treks for families with children to appropriate altitudes. Small children can be carried by the accompanying porters in padded baskets. Raj will also thoughtfully plan treks for large groups and individuals.

The service offered through Responsible Adventures stands head and shoulders above its competitors because Raj has the skill, flair and expertise to make his treks extra special. As a leader he unobtrusively evaluates the capabilities of his trekkers and the pace is adjusted accordingly. All his guides walk with the trekkers so everyone is included and rapport established. Raj’s reliability can be depended upon. He will ensure your safe arrival and departure from any local airport or depot using and organize your onward travel.

Whilst on a luxury trekking tour, Raj’s chefs provide culinary touches even in the midst of the wilderness – croutons with tomato soup, oregano in the pasta sauce, brie as a pre-dinner snack. Chinese, French and Malaysian cuisines, in addition to local fare, find their way onto the menu. But whatever the deal, the reason why Responsible Adventures gets so many trekkers returning for more – are the “nice touches” you’ll experience – real coffee at the start of a day, a celebratory glass of wine, a birthday cake in a remote setting, music and entertainment in the evening. Through Responsible Adventures remote, beautiful, breath taking and fascinating landscapes and people can be accessible for you. Enquire now for an unforgettable experience.
