A few more photos from our climbing guide Kunga Gyazu Sherpa, who recently led a spectacular climb of Parchamo Peak (6189m) for us. This wonderful trek and climb starts in the less explored but stunning Rolwaling Valley, which is a deep Himalayan valley, tucked under the giant snow peak of Gaurishankar (7134m) and considered a holy sanctuary by the local Buddhist inhabitants. Lots more photos to come!

Check in from our Annapurna Team! Pasang Tendi, Adventure Alternative Nepal's MD, is guiding a great team around the Annapurna Sanctuary. This trek takes you through a hidden pocket of lowland villages, meadow and rice terraces to a gorge of rhododendron forests and icy rivers born form ancient glaciers and gigantic peaks. It allows you to immerse yourself in a slow and easy daily routine, with only the elements, the mountains and the quiet character of the people to accompany you.

Stunning! Simply stunning! Our Pikey Peak team just sent us through these beautiful images from their trek so far. Our Pikey Peak and Dudhkunda Lake trek is in the heart of the lower Khumbu region where the charitable arm of Adventure Alternative - The Moving Mountains Trust, has been working for several decades. This trek takes us on a quieter trail, below Lukla and offers calm relaxed walks, amazing views of many 8000m peaks, including Everest, lush green forests, wildlife, flowers and all at lower altitude. This is a fantastic trekking holiday if you want to experience all that the Himalayas has to offer without going to very high altitudes.

Our Three Peaks & Three Passes team enjoyed their visit to Everest Base Camp and watched a stunning sunrise from Kala Patar, tucked under the impressive peak of Pumori. Then they successfully crossed the Cho La Pass and are continuing their circumnavigation of this stunning region of Nepal's Himalaya. Meanwhile our second Three Peaks Team reached Lukla in beautiful weather and our Manaslu and Annapurna Sanctuary teams have both started well. We've just received some fantastic photos, which we'll share later this week, from our Pikey Peak team!

After our photos from Annapurna Base Camp, we're now over in the Khumbu with our Three Peaks and Three Passes team. Some heavy dumps of snow have impacted some of the high passes, but the team are still having great fun and have reached Everest Base Camp.

Thanks for the messages of support for our team and charity projects in Nepal, all of which have been okay during the recent floods. We have trek teams currently in the Annapurna and Khumbu regions with several more teams due out this weekend. Higher up in the mountains the weather has been quite good though some late snow has been experienced on some of the high passes. Lower down and especially in Kathmandu infrastructure repair work continues and road access is opening up again.

Kathmandu - What a Place! All our treks start and and finish in this most amazing city. It's an explosion of colour, history, culture and fun! It is the most fantastic place to explore - be that on foot or by Tuk Tuk. We love to spend time in this stunning place which is such a sensory overload and a huge contrast from the peace and quiet of our treks in Nepal.

What a few weeks we've had in East Africa! Our brilliant teams in Kenya and Tanzania have been super busy with school groups, safaris and lots of brilliant climbing teams. We've had several private teams and open groups on Mt Meru, Mt Kilimanjaro and teams climbing Mt Kenya to both the trekking peak of Pt Lenana and to the technical peak of Batian. We still have a few more teams due out shortly and have loved meeting and sharing such amazing experiences with everyone! If you'd like to join us on an African Adventure have a look at Tanzanian options here https://www.adventurealternative.com/tanzania/ or for Kenya: https://www.adventurealternative.com/climb-mount-kenya/

The last few weeks has produced a number of Clouded leopard sightings but this is the first during the day for a while.

Our guests were happily observing an Orangutan and this big fella decided that he wanted some attention too.

Thanks for the picture Jean-Philippe Lamothe
