FULL MOON NIGHT TREKKING is native and operates in Gilgit-Baltistan since 2001. All of the staff have lived or worked in the area, enabling us to combine our experience and contacts to make our treks as interesting and flexible as possible. Our treks are in no sense comparable to “organized jeep and sightseeing tours” offered elsewhere. All treks will include not only hiking and camping, but also opportunities to learn about local wildlife and culture. Most treks will include at least one night staying in a local village, or staying with shepherds on the high pastures. Your local guide and porters will do much more than simply show you the way and carry your bags; they will share their knowledge and experiences with you as you go along. We try to keep our trekking groups small to enable closer and more individual contact to guides and locals

As mentioned, we invest a proportion of the profits earned from the treks in Project Snow Leopard. We are also working on a number of other projects, including raising local awareness about general conservation issues, improving livestock management to reduce the incidence of predation, and also to enhance Eco-tourism related infrastructure in villages; upgrading pasture huts and trekking routes, installing rubbish bins and training local people in tourism management. In some cases, we might ask our clients for additional contributions towards those activities.
