How we keep it thrifty
Cheap isn’t the same as cutting corners
We trim the things that don’t make a trip better, and never the things that keep you safe or pay people fairly.
1
Huts, not hotels
Mountain huts, hostels, cabins and campsites. Closer to the trail, a fraction of the cost, and far better stories.
2
Local guides, paid properly
We contract guides directly where they live. No chain of agents each taking a slice.
3
Buses, ferries, trains
Public transport wherever it works. Private transfers only where it genuinely doesn’t.
4
You book the flights
You will always find them cheaper than we can. We tell you exactly where and when to land.
