About Us

Fun in TibetSince 1998 Bill has guided tour groups into Nepal, India, and China, traveling through much of Asia. In 2005 Bill relocated to the Tibetan Plateau where he traveled more extensively into remote areas and through a network of relationships, built a Tibetan travel agency. From this experience Bill has gained a broader understanding of the challenges and operations of the travel industry in Asia. Now based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Bill has taken his passion for sustainable travel and the richness of diverse cultures in Asia, to develop a company with broader horizons- High Adventure Tours Inc.
