"Raleigh Coburn led my 10-year-old son and me from Kathmandu, Nepal, to the highest monastery in the world, Tengboche. For many a day, we hiked long trails, camped at night, ate delicious meals, and had so much fun. Two years later, when a group of my friends decided we should go to Perú and hike more than 100 miles around the remote Huayhuash Mountains, I didn't hesitate to engage Raleigh to make all travel plans, hire porters, and arrange our meals. They took us through the most amazing countryside without a single problem. I would use and recommend Raleigh for any adventure travel, as she not only knows the ropes, she knows how to accommodate a group's needs and desires."
