Community Action Treks (CAT) is a new travel company, specialising in trekking and climbing in the Himalaya and other mountain regions. Headed by mountaineer Doug Scott and trek leader Jeff Frew, and backed up by knowledgeable and enthusiastic office and field staff, our combined experience of running treks and climbing expeditions mean we are truly specialists in the areas where we operate. We are fully bonded members of ATOL, which protects any money you have paid us for your holiday.

Promoting Positive Partnerships

"Take an awe-inspiring trip into the Himalaya and you won't just be changing your perspective on life. You'll also be responsible for helping to improve the health, wealth and education of the people who live there."
- Doug Scott C.B.E.
    the first Briton to climb Everest

Community Action Treks is the fundraising arm of the UK charity Community Action Nepal. Once our running costs are covered, the proceeds from our treks go to fund community development projects in the areas where we take trekkers. Working closely with the local people, who always contribute to the funding and construction work, we fund projects like schools, health posts, clean water supplies and income generating schemes, that benefit whole communities.
