On this website you’ll discover the amazing variety and range of trips that KE has to offer: from 1-week European holidays to month-long Himalayan treks and from easy touring holidays to ascents of 6000 and 7000 metre peaks. Whatever your interests or aspirations, we’re sure to have a trip to suit - the hardest part will be deciding which one to choose!
To make searching easier, our trips are divided into five main catagories; Trek & Climb, Bike, Family, Schools & Adventure. By clicking the tabs at the top of the website, you can find out more information about each activity and view the trips in each catagory.
To further help you choose the very best adventure, we use a comprehensive Grading System, which identifies an individual trip’s level of difficulty and enables you to easily compare the difficulty of two or more trips. The trip grades symbols appear in the left corner of the trip description. To fully understand our grades we recommend you read our grades explained section.
Once you’ve identified the trip that interests you most, you can download a copy of a detailed description from the relevant trip page. KE dossiers include a comprehensive itinerary and are full of useful information - such as the nature and difficulty of the terrain, climatic conditions, equipment requirements, as well as a reading list and details of available maps.
Finally, don’t forget our experienced office staff are on hand to offer advice or answer any questions you may have. Contact us
