About Us

We believe real adventure changes you. We’ve been trekking, biking, and climbing in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India for over 20 years and we want to share our adventure opportunities in this region with you. Bring your friends along or make new friends along the way.

Simply stated, we are here to put you on the mountain. The Tibetan Plateau and broader Himalayan region is an amazing place to experience, but with little infrastructure it can be a maddening region if you don’t have connections and resources. That is where we come in. We’ve been living and working throughout the region for over 20 years. We bring you experiences that are born out of the past and the true success is our deep relationships with the locals from this region. Trekking, mountain biking, mountaineering, cultural experiences and tours in the national parks are some of the avenues we use to explore this great region. Come join us!

Our Community

With diverse backgrounds from the United States, China, India, Nepal and Bhutan, we are able to provide unparalleled experiences that blend the needs of our clients with a local understanding of what it takes to experience the best a place has to offer. Our network of Adventure Access staff members, local entrepreneurs, guides, and hospitality points serves as a solid network with consistent reliability and the individuals within this network are your cultural bridge, cultivating and guiding meaningful interactions on all our tours.
