THE FOLLOWING ARE JUST SOME OF THE OPERATORS AND PUBLISHERS I'VE FOUND PARTICULARLY SYMPATHETIC OR INSPIRING TO THE NOMADIC INSTINCT:

Cox & Kings, the world's oldest travel company: they began and still excel in India. www.coxandkings.co.uk

Explore, arguably the world's most comprehensive adventure travel company. www.explore.co.uk

KE Adventure Travel, whose itineraries make me realise life probably is too short. www.keadventure.com

Eland Books, whose mission is to revive unsung gems and forgotten classics of travel writing. www.travelbooks.co.uk

Odyssey Guides, whose fine list should be better known and read. www.odysseypublications.com

Geographical Magazine, for trusting writer-photographers with a particular kind of story. www.geographical.co.uk
