Give something back

Plant a tree, leave a root

Give something back to these mountains: plant a sapling on the hillside before you leave, and give it a name. Every year we send you a photo of how it's grown, a little taller each season — a living, rooted piece of you that stays in Kunja long after you've gone home.

Back to Experiences

These mountains give travellers so much — clean air, deep quiet, long green views. Planting a tree is a small way to give a little back. Before you leave, we'll head up the hillside together and put a sapling in the ground with your own hands.

Then it stays. Every year we send you a photo of how your tree has grown — a little taller each season, rooted in Kunja long after you've gone home. It's the kind of souvenir you can't buy: a living, growing piece of you in the Himalaya.

Pick a fruit tree, and some season when it bears, we just might post a little of its harvest to your door. Give your tree a name too — we'll happily put up a small board beside it with your name on it. And there's no shortage of room up here: we have space to plant as many as you'd like.

“We planted a walnut sapling the morning we left and named it after our daughter. Three springs on, the photo that arrives every year is the first thing she runs to see.”
