It's simple - to reach the foot of the world's highest mountain, and if you have enough energy, to summit Kala Patthar (5,545m) - a fantastic mountain located near Everest Base Camp giving us the BEST views of this majestic peak.

This world renowned classic trek takes us from Lukla through the world's highest mountain range and encompasses the most breathtaking mountain scenery ever imaginable...you haven't seen mountains until you've seen the Himalaya! Eight of the World's 14 highest peaks are found in the Nepalese Himalaya and we can assure you the memories of this challenge will last a lifetime. We'll be privileged with some amazing views of Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,511m), Nuptse (7,879m), Ama Dablam (6,856m), Thamserku (6,623m).........the list of peaks goes on.......it's pure Himalayan magic!

Our itinerary has been designed to maximise our chances of success, and the trekking is taken at a measured pace in order for us to acclimatise sufficiently. The support from our local guides and crew is simply the best around having traditional Sherpas form part of our crew simply adds to this amazing life experience.

Words cannot describe the true feelings you will experience on this challenge - the sights of Buddhism and Hinduism surround us making this challenge a truly spiritual and humbling experience.

We hope to see you in the Himalaya...
