Join us on a 21-day Himalayan trek to Everest’s Southern Face Base Camp through some of the world’s most spectacular mountain scenery.

Spend two days discovering the historic treasures of Kathmandu. Stay in villages set against soaring, jagged pinnacles; get to know the unique culture of the Sherpas; and walk trails lined with mani stones, engraved with Tibetan Buddhist prayers. Discover remote mountain monasteries and learn about the Sherpas’ spiritual perspective on the mountains they call home.

The scenery is truly breathtaking with mixed forest, flower filled meadows, glaciers, rivers and spectacular mountainous panoramas throughout. Located in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal our route takes us through Sherpa villages, bazaars and Buddhist monasteries.

Everest’s daunting summit soars so high that trekking to its base camp is an adventure of the highest sort.

It's not just a mountain, it's a dream.
