More than a mountain…Yala peak and the people who made it a magical experience!.....Summiting Yala Peak might have been my original goal, but by the end of this incredible trip, it became just one very small part of something so much bigger. What truly made this experience unforgettable was the spirit of the people and the care taken by Jo Bradshaw and Sue Blunt at Adventurous Ewe, who brought it all together.The trip was organised by the most thoughtful, values-driven company I’ve ever travelled with. Adventurous Ewe is a family-run business with heart and purpose at its core. Every detail was handled with care — not just for us as trekkers, but for the planet, the local communities, and the amazing team on the ground in Nepal. But not in a worthy way...having fun is important too!Their respect for the environment is built into everything they do, from the free Water to Go bottle, to encouraging cultural understanding and leaving the mountains in the same condition we found them. Even more impressive is the way they support the local team — treating porters and guides with dignity, fairness, and genuine appreciation, ensuring that everyone involved in the trip feels valued.Then there was our group — a fabulous team of strong, like-minded women who really pulled together. Despite altitude and at times exhaustion, we laughed, encouraged, and lifted each other. A sense of togetherness which made this trip feel really special.Our local crew was simply the best. Always smiling and incredibly hardworking. They quietly and consistently went above and beyond, making sure we were safe, well-fed, supported, and looked after every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through the breath-taking landscape of the Langtang region.Our UK team looked after us so well....Guiding us was Seven Summiteer Jo Bradshaw whose extensive experience, professionalism and sense of safety helped make us feel secure and well prepared. Her in-depth knowledge and understanding of Nepal and the communities through which we travelled added a rich layer to our journey.Alongside Jo was Sue Blunt (who owns Adventurous Ewe with her husband Jim). She was a calm, kind and considerate presence throughout. Despite inevitably being busy with her countless responsibilities, she always found time to check in on the team in a gentle and unobtrusive way – her support and thoughtfulness really made a difference to the whole experience.In the end I’ve realised, this trip was never really about the summit. It was all about connection — to Nepal, to the people, and to our team. I came for a mountain, but I left with a heart full of gratitude and friendships with our team and crew that will last forever.If you're looking for a trekking experience that values integrity, the planet, community, and a sense of connection, not forgetting having a great time — Adventurous Ewe is the company to travel with. So much so I’d booked my next trip before I got home…anyone fancy joining me for Kili?

Highly professional, experienced, caring and friendly with a penchant for true adventure. Adventurous Ewe goes the extra mile to ensure expeditions are the best they can possibly be.

Wow, what an incredible trek with Adventurous Ewe to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco! Reaching the summit of Mount Toubkal at 4,167m high was a huge personal achievement which I am incredibly proud of, but I couldn’t have done it without the people.I can’t express my gratitude enough to the team for all the guidance and support they provided. It was wonderful to have Sue from Adventurous Ewe with us, and our local guide, Ibrahim, was exceptional and incredibly supportive.The three-day trek was an amazing way to witness the truly magical scenery of the Atlas Mountains and immerse myself in local life. For anyone seeking an adventure holiday, I highly recommend Mount Toubkal and booking with Adventurous Ewe.

A fabulous few days in the high Atlas Mountains, culminating at the summit of Mt Toubkal. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet, learn about (and indirectly support) the local community. Summit day was challenging but rewarding and we were brilliantly supported by Sue the Ewe 🐑😃

By definition adventures require planning and adaptability in equal measure. Jim and Adventurous Ewe have exactly the right blend of planning, comms, app support, and walked alongside every step of the way before and during the trip. Never intrusive, always there with answers to questions, always showing openness to our requests to add items to the itinerary, delivering on the backup plans when life throws the unexpected. Highly recommend!

Everything you'd expect from a personalised Adventure Challenge company and more. They organised a team charity challenge to Africa for us and it was superb from first discussion to finish. The team were trustworthy, organised, knowledgeable and very experienced. This was a once on lifetime trip for us and a lot of fun thanks to Adventurous Ewe. I would most certainly use the company again for a similar trip. Thanks Jim!
