2022 – PointHi becomes a platform for other hand-picked guides

Hi my name is Stefan!

Born and raised in Moldova, then moved to US in 2017.

I’ve been to 49 states, lived in 5 of them(Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Illinois, California), and hiked and explored most of the national parks and mountains in the United States. Traveled to more than 10 countries on 5 continents and met a lot of amazing, talented, interesting and inspiring people.

Having all this experience and connections I decided to help other people experience life in a way that will improve, grow and develop your personality!

We find the best local adventure guides

We hunt down the very best local adventure guides, and review everything about them.

There are a few key things we look for:
Safety – This starts with checking qualifications, risk assessments, trip itineraries and policies for rescue/medical equipment carried. Then once we’re happy, we’ll move to physical inspections which are carried out about once every year with the more popular trips. It’s a fantastic way for us to share skills and keep your local guides updated with best practice.
Quality – we’re not looking for 5-star hotel experiences – mountain huts tend to be pretty basic after all! We do want the basics however – safe and secure accommodation, good food hygiene, enjoyable itineraries and fantastic mountains!
Ethical policies – guides, porters, cooks and any other staff must all be paid in accordance with the PointHi fair wages policy. In addition, your porters will never carry more than 35lbs, which is the recommended maximum load.

Making wild mountains accessible!

Trekking in places like the Himalayas can seem very intimidating. The mountains are remote, the routes are challenging, and it can be hard finding expert advice on what to bring (and what will just weigh you down).

We try to make that easier, with clear course PDFs that contain everything you need to know, and fantastic customer service whenever you have a question.

You can reach us any time on Facebook, Instagram, Email or Phone

Challenge your limits, get amazed, connect with nature and feel alive!
