What we tell our travellers before they fly.

Notes from the studio. Routes, gear, training, the stories travellers come back with. We are still writing — the inaugural field note is the long-form 2026 Trek Guide below, with shorter posts following through the season.

Coming through the season

Four threads we are writing toward.

Routes

Trail-by-trail breakdowns of the Khumbu, Annapurna, Manaslu and Mustang circuits — when to walk them, what they really feel like, what most operators leave out.

Gear

Layering systems, boots that survive the Khumbu glacier, sleeping bags rated honestly for teahouse temperatures. No affiliate links, no kit-list theatre.

Training

Twelve-week plans for sea-level travellers heading to 5,000 m. Cardio benchmarks, altitude prep, the difference between fitness and acclimatisation.

Stories

Travellers we have walked with, and what they remember. Field accounts from guides on the trail. Why we still get up before dawn for Kala Patthar.
