Every journey leaves more than memories.

Crooked Compass hand-crafts journeys into the world's most remote and culturally rich places. Through the Compass Restoration Program, every tour we design now plants trees in the landscapes our travellers pass through.

Indicative example; not an actual quote
We founded Crooked Compass because we believed the way you travel matters as much as where you go. We have spent more than a decade taking small groups into landscapes that very few operators will even attempt. Nepal, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Jordan. These are not postcards. They are living places, and the communities within them are the reason our travellers leave transformed. The Compass Restoration Program means that every journey we design now gives something back to the ecosystems that make those experiences possible. For our travellers, it is one more reason to travel with intention.
Where the work happens

Real projects. Local hands. Lasting restoration.

Indrawati Reforestation, NepalNepalFeatured project

Indrawati Reforestation, Nepal

In the valleys above Kathmandu, the Indrawati Reforestation project works with rural farming communities to restore forest cover lost to landslides and habitat degradation. Reforestation here creates lasting local employment while rebuilding the hillside ecosystems that protect communities from natural disaster.

Planting the hillsides that protect a valley

In the Bagmati Province of Nepal, restoration work at the Indrawati project is rebuilding forest cover on the slopes that farming communities depend on. Local guides, planters, and community organisers lead the work that every Crooked Compass journey through Nepal now contributes to.
