DOL PERIS is a guesthouse with a mountain view from every window. It occupies a central spot in the little village of Llanberis in North Wales, from which it takes its name. This Snowdonia village may look small enough, but constant glimpses of high peaks, rushing waters and unspoilt beauty confirm its world-wide reputation as a Mecca for climbers, mountaineers, hill-walkers, canoeists, kayakers, paragliders, artists and photographers.
Dol Peris is run by husband-and-wife team Phill and Lisa George. Having run an outdoor activities company for many years they know the draw of the mountains, the pull of the wilds (www.phillgeorge.com).

Kasbah du Toubkal is the number one property of choice for comfortable hotel accommodation in the village of Imlil and the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The Kasbah (1820 metres) is Just 60 kilometres from Marrakech and set on a hilltop 100 metres above our reception in Imlil. It is a 15-minute walk - mules carry your luggage. The Kasbah is also in the Toubkal National Park and set dramatically below the towering flanks of Jbel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa standing at 4167 metres.
​
I've stayed here many times for ascents of Jbel Toubkal and also trained their Moroccan Mountain Guides for REC Mountain First Aid which includes High Altitude First Aid.

Ladakh Nomad Expeditions was created by Rigzin Tsewang who was born in Ladakh and has been a high altitude climbing guide since 1999. His experience ranges from leading small or large groups, guiding very experienced climbers to high peaks, guiding disabled trekkers and assisting less experienced climbers to summits above 6,000m peaks.

​I've worked with Rigzin on several high altitude treks and can highly recommend him. A video of our last trek can be seen here.
