Women to the summit
After years of leading mixed groups, Ulfat questioned why women were hesitant to take on the role of "leader", and out of a desire to change this, she created journeys that would give women the opportunity to lead and go beyond their own limits (going within in order to gogrow).
In 2014, Ulfat initiated the "Women to the Summit" campaign - a project to empower women of different cultures through challenging journeys in nature, which she has been leading and guiding since.
The journey is suitable for women with some hiking experience.
Destinations: Himalayas, Alps, Costa Rica, Kyrgyzstan.
