Crooked Trails is a Seattle based non-profit, community based travel organization that helps people broaden their understanding of the planet and its diverse cultures through education, community development and responsible travel.

Crooked Trails along with other non-governmental organizations in the countries they work  conduct a series of of travel programs in support of the indigenous people of Thailand, Kenya, Nepal, India, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. Throughout the year various trips to these destination are available.

Want to go to Kenya? You will stay in huts made from volcanic rock. You will help the Maassai make mud bricks for a school project. You will also explore the Amboseli National Park.

Snow Leopards strike your fancy? Try the Snow Leopard Expedition! You will live and work in the small mountain village of Gya-Mira. You will learn about the native Ladakh culture and hike with snow leopard researchers.

These trips are learning experiences…not fancy vacations. There will be no five star hotel waiting for you when you get off the plane.

I was telling my husband about Crooked Trails and what they offered and much to my suprise he said he would go on one of these trips.

Who knows….maybe sometime in the future you will see us in Thailand helping with daily chores and pounding/chaffing rice grown by the local villagers!
