๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ & ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐-๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด? You think so?
First of all, we don't put together a new itinerary based on Google & AI. We believe in using a local guide's expertise. Especially when there are incidents/accidents/emergency etc.- more so, as the nature of any outdoor adventure trips are prone to all these 3 situations. ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐-๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐? When it does happen?
Secondly, with local guide knowledge, the plan can be even more flexible - eg: when a trail is blocked, what other trails can your trip leader take on?
Asian local guides are relatively lower cost than European guides. It's tempting for us to save on costs by not using European guides - ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐๐ ๐๐. ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฝ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐, ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ & ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐, which is more important?

2๏ธโฃ Some asked: ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฝ๐? Reason? Save cost? Flexible? can cover more famous Instagram spots. Yes; eg: in Dolomites - so many want to take those famous photos of selected peaks and lakes, etc. Yes, demand is there, yet we don't do. ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐พ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ป๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ป & ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐. Secondly is the car insurance issue that covers only the driver vs. everyone in the car. If it needs to cover all passengers, insurance costs go up tremendously, like in Europe. Is this really cost-saving for you?
We hope the above sharing helps to clear the air about why we don't do certain trip formats since the demand is there + the need to lower land cost [to compete].

Hope to see you on our trips!
