Above the Clouds

About Above the Clouds

Since 1982, Above the Clouds has taken small groups of travelers to a few carefully chosen places where the modern adventure traveler can still connect with a pristine landscape and its indigenous population. Each place in the world has its own rhythms, flavor, and magic. Clearly, some places have more magic than others. And a few places seem to have gotten the lion’s share, especially in terms of the landscapes and the people who inhabit them.

Rather than offering trips to every country by every means of transport known to man, we have chosen to operate in these few magical destinations, places that we know intimately by virtue of having lived or traveled there extensively. We know a few parts of the world, and we know them well. Our phones aren’t answered by voice mail, but by knowledgeable people who love the places they’re talking about. Our website isn’t ghostwritten by someone who’s never been there, nor is it full of images bought from a stock agency. We do it all in-house. To us, it’s not PR and marketing, it’s still travel, and travel is our passion.

The trips we offer are journeys in some of these most magical of places, from treks in Patagonia and the Himalaya, to tiger safaris in India, and cultural tours throughout Bhutan, Nepal and India. We’ve been refining the art of adventure travel for almost 30 years, and would love to share the journey with you.
