Special Environmental Restoration Trek: A sponsored environmental restoration effort will run concurrent with our Oct. 18 – Nov. 7 treks and climbs – and include visiting Sagarmatha Next, an art and experience center that strives to promote sustainable tourism by changing the perception around waste. Join us for this special opportunity to give back and build lasting relationships in the Everest region of Nepal! Cleanup participation is optional.
Trekking through the Khumbu Valley to Everest base camp is a life-changing experience for many, as the spectacular mountain scenery integrated with Sherpa culture and Buddhist religion makes for a truly engaging combination. We follow the same route to Base Camp as the Everest climbers and recount the historical ascents with the climbers who share our lodges along the way. We have the option to climb Island Peak, a beautiful glaciated climb at 20,350’. This is a great introduction to Himalayan climbing, as the terrain and climbing techniques resemble that of the nearby peaks of Everest and Lhotse.
