Everest Expedition

This immensely rewarding challenge will push you to your limits, providing you with a huge sense of achievement and a more than memorable experience. Along with your fellow volunteers you will undertake the 35-day expedition in Nepal under the supervision of our experienced guides.

Following the physical test of a 12-night trek to Everest Base Camp you will spend 9 nights living and working within a Nepali community where you will gain a real sense of their culture and lifestyle, and lend a much needed hand to the villagers. Your participation in this expedition will facilitate the development of the community projects, as well as providing you with endless rewards.
