OJM’s new partner offers airport transfers, door-to-door, in Scotland and Newcastle areas.
Alistair White’s company, Travel Pods, (a BNI member) excels in service and value.
Any vehicle to suit our customer’s need is available to drop and pick up customers from the airport. Never again do they have to worry about how they’re getting to the airport, or who’s picking them up if the flight is delayed, Alistair and his staff monitor all flight times.
OJM will be at the Mela Festival Sunday 9th August.
Pilrig Park, Edinburgh 12.00 – 17.00.
Sanu is the latest recruit to Himalayan Footsteps and the OJM team. A young Nepali student passionate about tourism, her country, and all the good things tourism can do for Nepal.
Sanu is currently studying for a bachelors degree in Travel & Tourism Studies at Kathmandu Academy of Tourism & Hospitatlity. Her part time work with us compliments her studies and gives a great opportunity for work experience. She works closely with our senior guides and UK team to learn about the business with a view to taking a more senior role when she graduates.
Personaly speaking I am excited about the energy and ideas Sanu brings to my company, in my meetings with her she shows competence and a keen mind.
Listening to the views of young Nepalis, like Sanu, about where they think the direction of tourism should go is key to innovation and responsible tourism.

On Tuesday 2nd June we were honoured to get a visit from Annabel Goldie MSP, leader of the Scottish Conservatives.
Annabel and her party were campaigning along Morningside high-street and we are very grateful for the time she spent meeting our staff.
Only if the politicians would visit when there isn’t an election.
I was very excited to attend yesterday the debut showing of documentaries made by Aman Adhikari, a young man from Nepal, living in Edinburgh and studying to be a film maker.
One by one we gathered outside the Filmhouse on Edinburgh’s Lothian Road. I wasn’t expecting a big turn out for such a narrow topic of film but many people attended and the auditiorium in the presitgious Filmhouse was nearly full.
I have known Aman for over a year but am ashamed to say I never new about his filmaking, today was the big coming out party, he was nervous about his debut.
These documentaries are the fruits of a long struggle to realise his dreams, the scrimping, saving and discipline is remarkable to save enough money for his trip once a year home to Nepal.
This show had short documentaries themed around the people of Nepal. Aman’s first film was titled: “…and this is my story”.
Parvati Shrestha is deaf. She has faced many hardships because of her disibility but her optimism and hope are unwavering.
His second film is titled “A Day In The Life Of Joongey Dai”.
Thick, curly moustaches are not the only impressive thing about Uddaz Bhattari, it’s also his work ethics and honesty. A remarkable story of an ordinary Nepali.
Both films were excellent and the subject matter compelling. I look forward to many more to come.
Two young men from Edinburgh only in their first year at university are to embark on one of the most adventurous and dangerous journeys on the planet.
With our sponsership they hope to complete the drive from Edinburgh to London to Mongolia and give £1000 to charities by fundraising.
we’ll keep you posted.
