We choose to travel GREEN
We offset the carbon footprint for each traveller! Eden reforestation will plant trees for each traveller travelling with 'Roots of Asia'.
We minimize our impact on the environment while trekking: we provide biodegradable soap and shampoo for the group and follow the ‘Leave No Trace’ rules. Most places where we stay recycle and refill water bottles.
Experience authentic Asia culture and support the local community by paying fair prices and staying in locally owned guesthouses and Eco Friendly Hotels.
We only travel in small groups This makes it easier to have authentic social contact with local people. To further enhance the experience, we try to keep the group informed about local traditions and etiquette to bridge cultural gaps.

WE WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR LOCAL GUIDES
Who is organising the roots adventures?
Cat (Gert) has been practicing Qigong and Yoga for the last 15 years, she is inspired by the connection between body and mind. After finishing her Physical Education Master and Qualified Teacher degree in Belgium, Cat combined teaching Physical Education with organizing ‘off the beaten track’ tours in Asia. Her teachings are inspired by all the authentic teachers she has encountered on her personal quest in Asia, from teachers in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Zen Buddhism, Chinese Medicine and true Yogis and Yogini’s. Rather than focusing on how our yoga poses look, from a therapeutic viewpoint, Cat focuses on yoga techniques that can relieve pain and help people. Cat is a qualified yoga teacher.
We would love to hear from you.
