What we’re looking for when we hire our Expedition Managers?
First aid training is paramount among the qualifications of every Snow Lion expedition leader. Then we test our leaders to make sure they are in love – in love with the cultures and the people of the region in which they travel for us. We look for passion above all else. And we look for guides with a natural congeniality – people whose amiability, friendliness, sense of humor and natural leadership easily form bonds.
Finally, we select our guides based on local knowledge, reliability and character. While many leaders add individual areas of expertise to our expeditions, they are not pretentious or overbearing. They lead you on a trip that will penetrate the true nature of Asian culture in a non-intrusive manner.
