At each of our 20+ destinations around the world are local agencies run by ourselves and our Altai family providing a range of different trips for all abilities. You don't have to be an olympic athlete to go trekking in the Himalaya or even climb a Himalayan peak. Making challenging destinations accessible to every weekend trekker is what we do best, so whether your dream is to reach the ruins of Machu Picchu or scale volcanoes in south east Asia, let Kandoo Adventures help you achieve your aspirations.
