Info

Trek to Everest or combine with community work for a longer project. Starting in Kathmandu, the Himalayan capital of Nepal, you will spend your first week acclimatising, enjoying cultural visits around the city and most importantly, attending Nepali classes.

From Kathmandu you will travel into one of the rural valleys where you will work on the rural development project, before heading down to the Royal Chitwan National Park where we take you on an elephant-back safari to look for the endangered Bengal Tiger.

Trek to Everest Base Camp

On completion of the Training phase and the Community Projects we return to Kathmandu and the short flight to the start of our trek. Using Government Sherpas and guides we head off from Lukla. Staying in Nepalese tea houses overnight we cross river valleys and trek through remote Nepalese villages, a unique opportunity to explore Nepalese Himalaya. The arrival at Everest provides the unique summit of this Expedition. The expedition ends with a last dinner back in Kathmandu.
