We Get You Here in One Peace!

We offer custom tours and transportation for those interested in exploring the beauty that Western North Carolina has to offer. We invite you to come enjoy Being in some of Mother Nature’s oldest and most beautiful mountains.

What makes Zen Mountain Tours different from other tour companies?

We specialize in meditative driving and hiking tours. Silent sitting meditation is wonderful, but we have found that it is equally important to bring meditation practice into our moving world. When we practice meditation in motion, our environment becomes far less stressful and we can actually get to a place where we InJoy all of the little things Life has to offer without sweating the little stuff (as in 99.9% of the stuff). Meditating while in motion is very enjoyable and you can practice it anywhere, anytime.

We also provide traditional transportation around Western North Carolina, for those who aren't into meditation. No matter which you choose, we will get you Here in One Peace!

"When a person becomes fully present in Nature, the whole world comes alive and gratitude abounds. My passion is to assist anyone interested in experiencing the Joy of Being.” ~ Trey Carland (Owner of ZMT)

As you may know, there have been hundreds of scientific studies touting the benefits of meditation, Whether you are practicing Zen, Mindfulness, Self-inquiry or any other form of meditation, the most important benefit is increased happiness. When we take a step into Nature in a meditative way, it brings about a sense of Aliveness and Joy that we often overlook. When we are fully present, we can InJoy Life much more deeply.
