Asia | Travel & Adventures

Our love affair with Asia began when MTS became the first company to organize a trek to Nepal back in 1969. Our curiosity led us to Bhutan—leading trips in 1974, six years before the country formally opened for tourism. We were also the first into Vietnam and Borneo—it's no wonder prestigious publications like The New York Times have noted our historic firsts.
Award-winning Trips. Trek to the roof of the world, Mount Everest; track Bengal tigers on an Indian safari; explore Sri Lanka’s diverse landscape of beaches, villages and forests; or journey to Bhutan’s sacred Chomolhari mountain—our pioneering adventures have been praised by Outside magazine & National Geographic Traveler.

Local Office, Local Guides. Our longtime MTS-exclusive guides (most of whom have been with us for 10-20 years or more!) give you insider locals-only access to places and people, so you can immerse yourself in the world’s oldest cultures.
Unwind in Luxury or Simplicity. Accommodations vary by trip, but are always the best in the area—from luxury lodges with the finest linens to refined camping with tent side coffee service every morning.
High Altitude Trekking Experts. When it comes to Everest & the Himalaya, we take great care in preparing you for the journey of a lifetime. We'll advise you how to train, review any medical conditions, supply equipment checklists, and help you sort out gear once you arrive. Our guides have led MTS groups through the Khumbu for decades, so you're sure to reach those 18,000-foot peaks. Read more about our Everest Adventures.
