Why Us
We are based locally in the Himalayas and hence have the knowledge and resources to respond to any situation that may arise in the quickest and most efficient manner. Roam Beyond, which began as Sikkim Trekking was born as an alternative to large, commercial travel companies — who often sub-contract a visitors experience to unknown places and people. Instead, Roam Beyond has first-hand knowledge of a place, trail, you’ll encounter along your journey. Our Scheduled Trips are in the company of experienced group leaders who have been born and brought up in the same region they are leading trips on. Our independent Custom Trips are supported by local, English-speaking guides who were born and live in the regions you travel. Our small size is our strength, affording us the flexibility to develop group and custom adventure itineraries with a close contact to the communities you will visit.
Roam Beyond offers you the same experience as any high end large travel company without having to pay the big Bucks as we do not spend a lot of money on flashy ads and expensive promotions. That’s not what you want to pay for! Many of our travellers have returned for another experience. They tell family and friends about their adventures and about our services.
Our customers usually come to us by ‘word of mouth’ and from personal recommendations from satisfied travellers. Many return to us again and again to discover Asia in the best hands.
When you join one of our trips, you do not pay a premium for a lot of glossy corporate overhead or non-essential frills. Most of your money goes directly into your own adventure and directly to the people and places make your journey unique and wonderful! We strive to keep our prices affordable to everyone, while still offering very personalized and experienced service.
We give back. Our trip leaders know each location on all our unique itineraries and keep established relationships within each community. They know the local communities, guides, guest house owners, sherpas, porters, horsemen and cooks.
