Nepal, Everest Base Camp Expedition Trek Charity Challenge

This is one of our outline challenge itineraries. If you are interested in running this as a fundraising event, please contact us for more information. If you are looking to take part in a charity challenge please see upcoming events.

Visit this stunning ancient kingdom, trek to the base of Everest and summit the peak of Kala Pattar, which at 5,454m offers the best views of Mt Everest, the world’s highest mountain.

As fascinating are the mountains are the Sherpas, who are amongst the hardiest, most egalitarian people in the world. Whilst best known for their feats as high altitude porters and mountain guides, the Sherpa people have traditionally been traders, herders and subsistence farmers. The Sherpas also actively practise Mahayana Tibetan Buddhism, and this reflects in every aspect of their daily life. They avoid killing any living thing and place great value on acts of merit, which will enhance their future lives and those of others. Evidence of this devotion abounds everywhere in the area we will trek - prayer flags flutter from rooftops, stones inscribed with prayers line the trails and the sounds of Tibetan chanting can be heard resounding through the valleys.

This trekking expedition is the ultimate charity challenge! For fourteen days we will hike in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hilary and other famous mountaineers through the Khumbu in the shadow of Mt Everest.
