Our approach
We run a small number of carefully chosen Himalayan treks each year.
Scheduled departures are personally led by founder Jude Rayen.
Custom journeys are curated around your dates, pace, and priorities — with the option of Jude leading when requested.
Our focus is not speed, numbers, or ticking off summits, but time in the mountains, sound judgment, and moving at the right pace.
Decisions are made on the mountain, not from an office desk.
Routes are chosen for landscape, terrain, and character.
Groups are kept small so acclimatisation, safety, and experience come first.
If you value thoughtful routes, real mountain time, and a guide who is fully present throughout the journey — you're in the right place.
Who you’ll be trekking with
Jude Rayen - Founder & Lead guide
I lead all scheduled departures myself — from the first briefing to the final descent.
I’ve been working in the Indian and Nepali Himalayas for over a decade now. What keeps drawing me back isn’t just the peaks — it’s the quiet. Evenings around camp, stargazing under clear skies, and the feeling of being far removed from the noise and urgency of city life.
The mountains have a way of putting things into perspective. They remind me how small we are, how temporary everything is, and how fortunate we are to experience places like this at all. That sense of humility and reflection is a big part of why I keep returning.
I prefer a steady pace. Treks aren’t a race. There’s time to acclimatise properly, to sit with a view, to enjoy camp, and to actually experience where we are instead of rushing through it.
The routes we choose reflect that. They’re selected for their character and atmosphere — often away from the more commercial circuits — so the experience feels spacious rather than crowded.
If that way of trekking resonates with you, you’ll feel at home here.

Client Reviews
Went on one with Jude that one time, and all my subsequent treks—there's been a quite a few of them—have all been with him. My future treks will be too. That should tell you all you need to know. 😊

An overall wonderful experience. Great food. Comfortable even in the most uncomfortable destinations.

Went on such a beautiful hike in Ladakh and Jude organised absolutely every thing down to the last minute so it was so easy from a hikers perspective.

If small groups, open skies, and quieter trails sound like your kind of mountain time, let’s talk.
I personally lead all scheduled departures. And if you’re thinking about planning something custom for you and your friends — different dates, a specific route, or simply more space away from the crowds — we can shape it together in a way that fits you.
