Our Story: For the Love of the Wild
At Novrendialthura, we believe adventure is more than just reaching a summit; it's about the transformative journey within and the profound connection forged with the natural world around us. Our roots are deeply planted in the rugged beauty of New York's wild spaces, born from a desire to share authentic, safe, and deeply personal outdoor experiences.
From the crisp mountain air of the Adirondacks to the quiet reverence of a Catskill forest, Novrendialthura was founded on the simple yet powerful idea that everyone deserves to experience the profound wonder of the outdoors. We started as local guides with a passion for preservation and a belief in the power of shared adventure, growing into a team dedicated to making these experiences accessible and unforgettable.
