Hiking & Camping Trips
Having spent so much time trekking, exploring, navigating and camping in the great outdoors across continents, celebrating beautiful natural places and absorbing the benefits of nature, I thought to offer my outdoor adventures to others so that they too can have the opportunity to experience the same.
I operate my hiking tours across all seasons in favour of experiencing the outstanding natural beauty that comes with these seasons. I like to keep the trip packages simple so that my customers can get a good understanding of what’s on offer, and what benefits they can takeaway from being out in our natural environment.
It’s all about being out in nature, observing its beauty and enjoying the benefits of walking in the wilderness.

Quality Assured
To ensure a high quality of experience, service and comfort, I will be walking the tours with you. I will be liaising with you with pre-trip information and what to expect along the way, and so, you’re prepared in the best way possible and packing the appropriate outdoor gear.
For those who book the hiking and camping trip combo, we will have an epic adventure exploring by day and campsite chill-out during the evening. The campsite is in a beautiful location surrounded by nature, and has all the facilities you need including clean, hot showers and toilets.
I only book groups of a maximum of 7 people for any one trip. Small groups are a refreshing experience as we get to know each other and work as a team during the activities. This is also an ethical way of laying fewer bootprints on the ground and reducing soil erosion when in nature.
Solo hikers and/or couples are welcome as you will likely join other like-minded people.
Trip Grading
Guided Trips
All hiking and camping trips are guided by myself and I will be with the group throughout the day’s activities. From experience, I can say to you that these hiking trips are leisurely, fun and tailored to be enjoyable.
As an experienced outdoor guide, I understand that any individual’s pace can differ from the rest of the group and this we will embrace. And hence, my trips are tailored to experience, explore nature and to have fun, and not a race to the finish!

Mini Bio
“Exploring the great outdoors on foot and bicycle have been two serious obsessions of mine since a young age. Having lived on three continents, one thing in common is that the great outdoors is where I focused 100% of my time and resources. Whether I was camping, bouldering, trekking or cycling, I just couldn’t get enough of spending time in the wilderness and experiencing what nature has to offer.
I’m also passionate about nature, and bringing her to life through photography and video is my conservation. Along with conservation, I’m also campaigning for ways to encourage the Asian, Black and minority ethnic community to get outdoors, and that nature and the great outdoors is an inclusive experience for all.” ~ Shameer Shah

Well, I’ve had many experiences far too many to list here. I have hiked through Hell’s Gate via Ol Njorowa Gorge (Rift Valley, Kenya) and summited Mount Kenya and Mount Longonot (Kenya), trekked 2000 miles of the Appalachian Trail (US), hiked the ridges of Serra de Tramuntana mountain range (Majorca, Spain), backpacked the Sandbeach to Bierstadt Lake trail in the Rock Mountain National Park (US), bikepacked around national parks and areas of natural beauty (UK), and mountain biked 150 miles of the “all mountain, no roads” in the Lake District (UK), trekked the Western Ghats mountain range (Karnataka + Goa, India)… just to name a few adventures. In my previous venture, I also ran guided adventure trips for groups in Iceland.
Customer Reviews
Great experience
Wonderful 5 mile walk in a stunning area. Shameer is an exprienced guide who knows not only the best places but also how to keep people safe during the walks. So important for a beginner to know who you can trust.
From City Mouse to Mighty Country Mouse
The universe and Algorithms had other ideas and all have played their part in my discovery of the wonderful hiker enthusiast Shameer Shah. I am writing this having gone on a 7 mile walk with the kindest, most engaging tribe of people and we all felt comfortable safe and seen by our wonderful guide Shameer. So why this very long review ….well it’s the backdrop to my call to every curious soul out there. Don’t limit yourself until you’re perfect, instead go out in the world with all your messy baggage. There are people and places to help you reimagine the art of living and Shameer Shah is one of them. Finally in a contrary society which swings from left to right, choose nature which never judges and only presents you with the utopia of a beautiful and blended world. Thank you Shameer Shah.
Perfect Hike in the Chilterns with Great Company
Had an incredible 7-mile hike in the Chilterns with Shameer! The views were stunning, the weather was perfect, and the company was top-notch. Shameer’s enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hike for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors!
First time hiking camping
Shameer is very friendly, lovely to chat with and a professional all-round guide. It was my family’s first time to go camping and hiking over a few days. We arrived overwhelmed, but from the first 15 mins were at ease with Shameer after he spoke about all the health and safety. The hiking was perfect for the family, not too difficult and the camping was so comfortable. Shameer is also an expert cook as he fed us delicious food made at the campsite. We will be talking about this trip for years to come and must join you on another! Thank you so much.
So glad we booked a hike with you
We thoroughly enjoyed the beginners hike. The snowdrops were breathtaking, and your knowledge of mushrooms was impressive; we discovered varieties we had never seen before. A memorable and educational experience!
If you know wilderness in the way that you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go. This is the story of our past and it will be the story of our future.
