Hi, I'm Maggie and the founder and owner of Latitude 55 Escapes and One Himalaya. For over 20 years I've helped travellers experience the stunning Himalayas—from trekking beneath Everest and tiger tracking in Nepal, to discovering Bhutan's monasteries, exploring the wonders of India and travelling across the roof of the world in Tibet . After years specialising in one of the world's most extraordinary destinations, I've recently opened Latitude 55 Escapes so I can bring that same level of care and expertise to holidays worldwide.
Our small team of experienced travel professionals provide a personalised service to help you achieve your travel ambitions, from short city breaks to relaxing getaways to discovering those hidden gems or planning bucket list adventures and celebrations of a lifetime.
With over 20 years’ experience in the travel industry, we will always take time to listen and understand your travel goals, providing advice and recommendations that suit your interests and needs, making your travel experience as easy, enjoyable and memorable as possible.
We work with a wide range of travel companies including our sister company One Himalaya, to provide travel experiences ranging from family getaways to luxury breaks, trips of lifetime, cruises, no fly holidays and much more, as well as creating tailor made travel experiences, unique to you.
At Latitude 55 Escapes, we believe travel should be meaningful, not manufactured and service should be personal and individual, not one size fits all.
We’re here to provide travel inspiration and advice and to guide you every step of the way - not just as travel experts, but as passionate travellers ourselves. Feel free to get in touch or call in for a chat to our office in Ballycastle.
