What is I.O.?

Initiative Outdoor (I.O.) is a Nepal-based company that operates outdoor leadership and adventure courses for participants of all ages and all walks of life. Our courses are as much journeys of challenge into remote and rugged land as they are voyages of discovery--of one’s surroundings both natural and cultural, of the ins and outs of teamwork, as well as of one’s own potential.

The aim of all I.O. courses is to assist participants in developing leadership as well as technical skills, to foster awareness and appreciation of the environment, and to nurture within individuals new attitudes, perspectives and ways of thinking and participating in the world around them.
