DISCOVER REMOTE CULTURES IN AMAZING PLACES
Explore not only amazing and remote locations but experience unique and fascinating mountain cultures
Our journeys focus on not only walking in some of the most sectacular remote locations on earth but on forging links with remote communities to allow us to experience traditional cultures in a way that few trekking companies do in countries as diverse at remote Tibetan Nepal, Armenia and Uganda. We tap into local expertise and indigenous wisdom to give unique insights into the beliefs, stories legends and daily lives of remote cultures.
Our links with remote mountain communities, traditional herbalists, lamas and monks, village elders, traditional households, forest people, yak herders and nomadic traders create unique cultural trekking journeys with authentic and meaningful interactions with cultures that we can learn so much from.

About Us

We are a very small trekking company spacialising on journeys to off-the-beaten- track locations in stunning corners of our world where there is potential not just to explore amazing scenery and nature but also remote mountain cultures. The company was founded in 2018 by Gavin Anderson and Jigme Lama who between them have over 50 years of professional experience in international rural economic development. Nomadic Skies is based in Ullapool in the beautiful NW Highlands of Scotland but we have close links with the mountain communities where are journeys are focused.

Our Vision
Travel that supports fragile communities in remote locations
We believe that ethical and eco-tourism can impact positively on remote and fragile communities and environments if done correctly. Journeys that tap into local wisdom and knowledge and seek to create a deeper understanding of the culture, lives and eco-systems of remote areas are inevitably more enriching and interesting. But these journeys can also support remote and fragile communities by ensuring that we use local skills and purchase locally wherever possible.
We believe in a slower form of trekking where there is potential for authentic interaction with local communities and where locals become our guides to the areas in which they live. A form of trekking which also economically benefits local communities.
