Why Mogambo ?

Mogambo has roots that stem from a 2005 expedition to Annapurna Base Camp. I was climbing with two Aussie clients and braving a blizzard, we didn't know if we'd make it to Base Camp but when we did the words to embody victory came forth, Mogambo! I didn't know what Mogambo meant but it seemed like the most natural thing and represented our heroic feat. Later we found out that Mogambo means "passion". It's so fitting because that's how we feel about creating meaningful, educational, enjoyable travel experiences for you... passionate. We want to give you the kind of trip that will challenge you, teach you, inspire you and leave you curious to know more. We believe in approaches to tourism that don't harm local cultures or the natural environment. This movement is called socially and environmentally responsible tourism and grew from travellers who wished to learn more about the people and places they visit as well as have a positive impact on the lives of the locals.

We believe that tourism can have a positive influence on the lives of Tibetans and Nepalis as well as you. Therefore we practice these principles.
