Publish Date : 11/1/2007 6:37:00 AM Source : Travel and Hotels News Onlypunjab.com
Eastern Mountain Sports has launched a new department to organize and lead adventurous vacations and expeditions to the most spectacular destinations on the globe: from the Himalayas of India and Nepal to the hut system of the Appalachian Mountain Club. This new department, dubbed Eastern Mountain Sports Adventures, Treks and Trails, is the brainchild of Becky Harrison, who runs the department from her office in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains. A seasoned explorer and guide, Harrison has been exploring and ascending peaks for more than 30 years.
A leader in adventure outerwear and products since its inception in 1967, Eastern Mountain Sports has a 40 year tradition of providing exceptional training, education and outdoor experiences through its Adventure Schools: from rock and ice climbing to mountaineering, kayaking, and ski instruction. With Harrison at the helm of the new EMS Adventures, Treks, and Trails department, Eastern Mountain Sports continues this trend by creating unique domestic and international adventures for nearly any interest or fitness level.
Becky Harrison is one of the most experienced American women guiding in the Himalayas today. She currently spends several months a year outside the US leading trips and researching new programs. Her lifetime of experience in the mountains and extensive high altitude research have led her to build itineraries that vary considerably from the norm, usually with more time for acclimatization and more gradual ascents. As well, she has formed solid bonds with the porters she employees, making sure all have adequate health care, pay and training. She even helped one former client start a non-profit organization that brings dental care to Sherpa villages.
With Harrison's experience and in-country connections, Eastern Mountain Sports Adventures, Treks and Trails has developed several dozen unique peak ascents, cultural treks, and multi-sport adventures. To learn more please check out the website www.emstrek.com or call 603-325-5556.
