Our way01
Pathlight is a small group travel studio. We plan cultural and eco journeys with the makers, farmers and families who live there, and send a share of every trip back.
Groups stay small, so you sit at the table, not behind a window.
- 12travellers at most in each group
- 30+host villages and family run stays
- 5%of each trip funds a village project
- 1planner with you from first idea to farewell

Good to know03
How big are the groups?
Twelve travellers at most, usually eight to ten.
Can I travel on my own?
Yes. Many of our travellers come alone, and rooms can be shared.
What is included?
Stays, trail meals, local guides, ground transport and every activity listed.
How does giving back work?
Five percent of each trip goes to a village project chosen with the host community.
We cooked with a family, walked the terraces and never once felt like tourists.

We stayed with a family and brought home a handmade bracelet. It felt personal, nothing like a tour.
