Our Everest Base Camp team have arrived back into Kathmandu after a great, challenging and fun trek with the legendary guide that is Pasang Lhamu. Well done guys! Here's a few photos of their journey through the Khumbu, which offers more than just a walking holiday; it is for many a pilgrimage to the highest mountain in the world, in a remarkable country which leaves you with vivid memories of the scenery and the people who live there.

We have a long history with this region of Nepal. We have been running treks and climbs to Mount Everest since the 1990's and we run our own company based in Kathmandu. Fancy following in their footsteps? Link in the comments.

A few photos just back from our team currently on the Kanchenjunga trek in Nepal. This is a wonderful, remote, rugged, and uncrowded adventure that takes you to the base of the world’s third-highest peak (8,586 meters). It is a challenging trek through diverse climatic zones. It is like stepping back in time. You will encounter very few trekkers and are guaranteed an authentic, intimate experience while staying in small villages alongside the Rai, Limbu, and Sherpa communities. The trail passes through five distinct climatic zones, transitioning from humid subtropical river valleys and lush rhododendron forests to stark alpine tundra and massive glaciers. The route to both the North (Pang Pema) and South (Oktang) Base Camps involves a large, stunning, circuit, with some high passes and steep ascents and descents. It is a challenging, but very rewarding trek.

What a busy August we had in Kenya and Tanzania! Here's a few images from Kilimanjaro, with many more to come. A private international team who we've worked with for many years asked us to organise a very special climb of Kilimanjaro and a safari for them and their 44 climbers. They were brilliantly supported by a staff team of over 170 people (guides, assistant guides, porters and cooks), which is a lot of people to feed, move and accommodate over an eight day climb! But with such a well trained and experienced team, and with four decades of experience, all went perfectly. Would you like to stand on the roof of Africa? https://www.adventurealternative.com/tanzania/climb-mount-kilimanjaro/

Well done to Rachael and Jess who summited Kilimanjaro with us last week. What makes this even more special is that Jess first travelled with us in 2001 as part of our school trip, Africamp program, which still runs every summer to this day. https://www.adventurealternative.com/tanzania/climb-mount-kilimanjaro/
