• 5 × 5000m Highlights in Everest

    There is more to Everest than reaching Base Camp. This journey is built around a different idea: rather than rushing up the main trail, we take our time and experience five remarkable places above 5,000 metres, each revealing a different face of the Khumbu. We leave the busier trail beyond Namche and head to the quiet Sherpa village of Thame, before crossing the spectacular Renjo La into Gokyo. From here rises Gokyo Ri, home to one of the finest panoramas of Everest and its neighbouring 8,000-metre giants. We then cross the vast Ngozumpa Glacier to tackle Chola Pass, before continuing into the upper Khumbu for Kalapatthar and, finally, Everest Base Camp itself. Five very different high-altitude highlights, woven into one journey — passes, summits, a glacier, alpine lakes, and Everest itself. Base Camp is still part of the story. It simply isn't the whole story. This is our way of experiencing the Everest region more completely quieter trails, time to acclimatise, and a chance to discover how much lies beyond the famous destination.

I am usually never in the office, and my colleagues call me the Tourist. I think strategically, and align the company to the future. I enjoy developing new experiences the most, and of course nothing can beat leading a group on a unique journey through Nepal. Uh Oh I forgot, I would rather be in the mountains!
