An Invitation to the Origins
Step into the world's highest, wildest, and most vital landscapes.
Some places you cannot reach alone. The planning takes years. The locations require teams who know every trail, every pilot, every local fixer by name.
These are professional expeditions, not tours. Far flung lands where the light changes everything. Remote base camps. Next level lodges. Helicopters. Expedition vessels. Camel routes that predate memory. The best days are earned.
Designed and delivered by filmmaker Dirk Collins and his long-time expedition partners trusted by National Geographic, North Face, and the world's leading adventure filmmakers.
