Mountain Walking with Walks Worldwide
Below you will find details of some of the mountain ranges you can see on our mountain walking holidays, including the Himalaya, the High Atlas, the Alps, the Carpathians, the Andes, Mount Kilimanjaro and the Pyrenees.
The Himalayas - Nepal
Perhaps no other country has captured the imagination of intrepid trekkers since opening its borders around 60 years ago. Nepal is an intriguing mix of religions and cultures, where the people seem to blend perfectly with the landscape of the mighty Himalayas. Everest, the worlds highest peak is the obvious and irresistible choice for many, attracting trekkers in their droves seemingly pilgrim like to pay homage at Everest Base camp. The Himalayas - IndiaFor those in search of the untouched, authentic Himalaya, our trek following the trails of nomadic shepherds, "Kingdom of the Gaddi" is seriously special and a revelation for those that may have trekked in Nepal and now seek to discover spectacular Himalayan landscapes and traditions largely unaffected by tourism. Wonderfully complementing this, "Himalayan Heights and Tiger Trails" ticks all the boxes for the perfect total experience of north India, with quiet Himalayan trails to trek, a tiger safari in world famous Corbett, the iconic Taj Mahal and the temples and ashrams of spiritual Rishikesh to discover. The High Atlas Mountains - Morocco
There can surely be no country within easy and affordable reach of the United Kingdom that offers such an exotic travel experience than the outlandish Kingdom of Morocco. Here you'll find impressive Kasbahs strategically located beneath the even more impressive snowy peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, bustling souks crammed with traditional artisan crafts, a wealth of history and culture, ornate Moorish architecture, friendly Berber tribes living in tiny mud-brick villages, traditional coastal fishing towns, Andalucian influences in the lush Mediterranean mountains of the Rif, spectacular Martian landscapes in the Jebel Sahro, the immense expanses of sweeping sands and dunes of the Sahara, to the delightful, colourful and rarely trekked mule trails of the verdant Western Atlas. Such is the geographical and cultural diversity of Morocco this is a country of almost infinite possibilities for out of the ordinary trekking adventures. The Alps of Europe
One of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. With iconic peaks and glittering lakes the Alps of Europe have long been a favourite for mountain walking enthusiasts. We offer a wide range of sublime walks amongst the Alps in Austria, Switzerland and Bavaria. The Carpathians
The mighty Carpathian Mountains of eastern Europe still remain a mystery to many mountain walkers. Yet, this impressive mountain range stretches through Poland and Slovakia to Romania. From the jagged peaks of the High Tatras, to the mighty ridges of the Fagaras, also known as the Alps of Transylvania the Carpathians are also one of the last remaining wilderness areas of Europe where timeless villages and a life long since forgotten in most of Europe still exists. Definitely the choice for the discerning mountain walker. The Andes
Second only in height to the Himalayas, the Andes are no less impressive. From the spires of Torres del Paine in Patagonia, to the Classic Inca Trail and Machu Picchu in Peru, the explosive summits of volcanoes in Ecuador or a climb to the highest point of Aconcagua itself, there is an amazing variety of choice for walking amongst the mountains of the Andes. Kilimanjaro
The Pyrenees
|
The world's highest stand alone mountain, the snows of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania have captured the imagination of intrepid mountain walkers for generations. We avoid the crowded Marangu route, preferring to follow both the much quieter and more scenic Rongai and Shira routes to the Uhuru peak summit of Kilimanjaro. If climbing Kilimanjaro is your mountain walking goal, our much tried and tested routes to the 'Rood of Africa' tick all the right boxes. 
Stretching from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean the Pyrenees form a natural divide between France and Spain. There are excellenty waymarked walking trails throughout the Pyrenees including the world famous
