Everest
16 Feb – 6 March 2009
This is the big one!
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to trek to the base of Everest and summit the peak of Kala Pattar. Reaching a height of 5,545m you will have the best view of Everest possible without actually climbing the legendary mountain.
You'll spend 13 days trekking in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and other famous explorers in the Khumbu region of Nepal; an area steeped in history, where the Sherpas farm amidst golden-roofed monasteries in the shadow of the world's highest mountains. Breathtaking, panoramic mountain views and the friendliest of Nepalese welcomes guaranteed.
"The mother of all treks – great group, great fun,
great organisation, great scope!"
Nigel Ragg, Everest Expedition Trek
