Expedition Everest
Mount Everest is the roof of the world. Standing at 29,029ft it is the highest point on the planet and is well known to command some of the most amazing views possible to witness with the human eye. However you don’t have to go to the top to appreciate the awesome majesty imposed by this fantastic mountain. Expedition Everest is a two week hike through some of the Himalayas most impressive valleys and ranges to the base camp of the world’s largest mountain.
Despite the surroundings, participants do not have to be well-seasoned mountaineers to take part; all you need is a sense of adventure! This is a expedition with a difference because in addition to trekking in the remote parts of Nepal, participants will get chance to offset their carbon emissions and the deforestation in the Sola Khumbu, spend time with Himalayan Buddhist monks and visit some of Childreach International’s projects.
