Beyond the Clouds is a Himalayan travel company based in Lower Moutere, in Tasman, and it is listed here as a gift shop. Its tours cover Nepal, Bhutan, Ladakh and Tibet, with expert-guided treks, walking tours, cultural tours and yoga retreats. The website says the company has more than 25 years of experience in the region, and it offers both private journeys and small group trips at a relaxed pace.
All profits from its journeys go to First Steps Himalaya, which funds education and community development programmes for children and families in rural Nepal. The website says the company works with experienced local guides and long-standing partners across the Himalayas. Its team answers questions, confirms details and guides travellers through booking. The business is run from Lower Moutere, a long way from the mountains it sells, so the tours rest on those local partnerships.
