At Above the Clouds Trekking, we have eighteen years' experience at helping travelers like yourself encounter new cultures and beautiful but fragile ecosystems in a manner consistent with the principles outlined above. We excel in that because it is a true labor of love. Our founder and director, Steve Conlon, lived in Nepal for over five years, dating back to 1972. He and Muna, his Nepali wife of 18 years, are raising their two children bi-culturally and bi-lingually. He speaks nine languages, which means he understands nine different cultrues, nine different way of looking at the world. And because he speaks the local language, he understands and shares local concerns for the impact of tourism. Our cultural and environmental sensitivities were not dictated by a PR consultant. They are genuine. When you travel with us, you are indeed in good hands.
We are a small, personalized specialist. We don't pretend to be all things to all people, and any company with that type of posture should be suspect. We know a few parts of the world, and we know them well. For the most part, we have not just traveled overseas, we have lived there as well. Our phones aren't answered by voice mail, but by knowledgeable, enthusiastic, real people. Our brochures aren't ghostwritten by folks who've never been there, designed in pricy studios, and full of pictures bought from a stock agency. We do it in-house. To us, it's not PR and marketing, it's still travel. Travel is what we know and love.
