On June 8th, 1924, George Mallory & Sandy Irvine set off for the Summit of Mount Everest and tragically lost their lives in the following days. In memory of their achievement and to keep their story alive, we have put together an opportunity to visit the Rongbuk Valley to experience to a small degree the history of the 1924 Expedition and to respectfully remember these two climbers. We are lucky to be led by a Tibetan guide from Lhasa who has summitted Everest 4 times, who will relay the tale and be able to convey what it is like to be high on the mountain. This is a trip for both trekking people and mountaineers who want to pay tribute and hopefully it will be of keen interest to those who ...Read more >

The Mustang Overland Trip is an exciting and fascinating 12 day journey into a less well known region, but travelling in Upper Mustang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Upper Mustang is like being in Tibet in many ways, as it is geographically part of the Tibetan plateau. Prepare to be awestruck by breath-taking landscapes and meet the people of one of the world's most culturally preserved regions. Until 1950, the district of Mustang was a separate kingdom within the borders of Nepal. Upper Mustang was opened to non-Nepali visitors in 1994, and ...Read more >
