Trekking to Everest Base Camp is a lifetime achievement for many, and this expedition will definitely live up to expectations, taking your breath away as you reach Himalayan heights that you could only imagine before.Flying into Kathmandu, we will meet you at the airport and transfer you to Patan where we stay in one of our partner lodges, giving you plenty of time to rest and acclimatise. Before embarking on an internal flight to Lukla and then, on the same day the start of your trek. Highlights along the way include Khumbu Glacier, traditional mountain settlements and teahouses such as at Dengboche and Lobuche, as well as the Sherpa capital at Namche Bazaar, where we take a well earned rest day. And then reaching Everest Base Camp too of course. There is nothing like that feeling.
On this expedition you will be staying in trekking huts throughout, and as we work with local porters to transport your bags you will only need to carry a daypack. You can also rent sleeping bags and trekking poles through us.

WATER: In Nepal we avoid plastic bottle use and actively educate clients on the impact of plastic products on the remote and fragile mountain environments. In Nepal it is important that water be treated for consumption. We utilize ultraviolet (UV) purification systems on the trail to avoid boiling water over flame or propane when possible. Having to build a fire or boil water, or carry propane into the mountains creates waste pollution. This ultraviolet (UV) purification systems practice eliminates tens of thousands of wasteful water bottles being purchased and discarded.

FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS: With our company, we are committed to doing travel right. We see travel in Nepal as one of the most effective means of investing in amazing people and places. We hire experienced local Nepalese guides from the local communities in which we operate. This is not only the responsible thing to do but provides a better and more authentic travel experience. We invest 10% of our total revenue in the form of microcredit to small-scale entrepreneurs in the communities of Kathmandu. In Nepal, we partner directly with WEAN and BPW, microfinance institutions that provide low-interest capital to small businesses in the regions where we operate.This is our mission, our passion, and what makes our company very unique in the travel industry.
A FAIR DEAL: In Nepal our company partners up with local lodge owners, local drivers, and other local businesses in the areas and communities we operate, to maximize the local benefit from tourism. We practice a Leave No Trace principle on all our expeditions and we incentivize environmental best practices among our partners. Our teams are locally hired. We travel with respect and preservation of local customs and with that perspective in mind, we educate those who travel with us in the importance of preserving these important factors.
