Check out our latest initiative to create gender and workforce equity in the trekking tourism industry.

You can join us on 4 sections of the GHT and/or support us by donating to our fundraiser which will create jobs for the women. Learn more here.

BROWN GAL TREKKER MISSION & GOALS

BROWN GAL TREKKER MISSION

If you are faced with a mountain, you have several options. You can climb it and cross to the other side. You can go around it. You can dig under it. You can fly over it. You can blow it up. You can ignore it and pretend it’s not there. You can turn around and go back the way you came. Or you can stay on the mountain and make it your home.
