All profits go to the charity The Umbrella Foundation, and each trip provides an opportunity for disadvantaged youth to get work experience and training. We operate in collaboration with Nature Treks Himalayas, our local partner.Umbrella Trekking gave me my first formal introduction to the tourism industry and my experience was a real-life crash course in starting a small tours business. I quickly learnt about sales, distribution, marketing, guest communications and management, supplier management and everything in between.My experience with Umbrella Trekking was very rewarding but often frustrating. There are far too many layers between operators and guests, and independent operators are squeezed at every turn. It motivated me to demand a better way, and thus, Clean Travel was born. Show less
