It’s just about 2 weeks ago that we were in Nepal, soaking up the culture and sights in Kathmandu after a fantastic and 100% successful Everest Base Camp trek.

If you were on our trek, are you missing it?

If you’ve been to Nepal, did you enjoy it?

It’s a hugely diverse and vibrant place to visit and Nepali hospitality is second to none.

If you haven’t been then I thoroughly recommend you add it to your list and make it happen - you definitely won’t regret it.

Happy Wednesday!

No points for correctly identifying Toubkal last week but here’s something much more challenging - what mountain am I standing on this week?

Pinch Punch - First of the month!

Welcome to November - we thought we'd start the month off with a great bit of feedback that we received earlier this week.

Tim came to Everest Base Camp with us last month and had a thoroughly amazing time - you can read his full review here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wp8XYnDFgg4R57zR6

If Everest Base Camp is on your bucket list then why not get in touch - scheduled dates are on our website and we can also arrange bespoke dates and private group trips.

Don't delay - book today!

Environmental Responsibility.

What does that mean?

Well, it can mean many things and one way we like to view it is that we leave no trace and make a positive effort to leave the environments that we visit in a better condition than we found it.

Tricky to achieve perhaps?

If you are in the Khumbu in Nepal you can exercise your environmental responsibility when you trek out towards Lukla from Namche Bazaar.

As you pass the checkpoint below Namche you can pick up one or more of these 1kg bags, carrying out old plastic bottles and tin cans that have been collected up from the trail by a team of dedicated volunteers.

Easy - why not get involved and make a difference?

Just pause for a moment and imagine how it might feel to stand right here…

OK, you don’t have to climb up on the metal pyramid but just imagine standing on this summit, breathing in the cool fresh air and marvelling at the fantastic 360 degree views…

This is the summit of Toubkal, the highest mountain in Morocco and the whole of North Africa.

It’s a great introduction to trekking at altitude, non technical and easily attainable for anyone of average fitness.

Our next trip departs on 15 March 2025 and we still have space - DM us now to grab yours!

No points for correct guesses this week but well done if you correctly identified last weeks mountain as Nuptse, the 7861m giant that’s just over a mile to the WSW of Everest.

What a great day!

After the chaos of returning from Everest Base Camp today we took the opportunity to see some of the sights around Kathmandu.

There’s so much to see and it’s such a sensory overload that you see something new and amazing each time you come!

This morning we arrived at Everest Base Camp and almost had the place all to ourselves!

It’s been a tremendous journey, sometimes physically tough, sometimes emotionally but we’ve had some great banter and I’m sure everyone on the trip had made some fantastic memories as well as some new friends.

This is what it’s all about.

“If your goals don’t scare you they aren’t big enough!” (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf)

Today we trekked from Dingboche to the 8000 Inn which sits at about 5000m just beyond Lobuche.

On our way we stopped at the memorials at Thukla Pass where we took our time to reflect on all those lost to the mountains.

A sobering place but all part of the journey.

The quote is on the memorial to Don Cash who perished descending Mount Everest in 2019.

A gentle walk to gain some height is a great way to acclimatise when traveling at altitude.

This morning we headed up the hill behind Dingboche to around 5000m before dropping back down for lunch and a restful afternoon.

Today has been dominated by the ever present Ama Dablam as we trekked from Deboche through the 4000m barrier and on up to Dingboche.

There were plenty of Yak’s out on the trail today as well as some excellent hats!

What a top day!

Today we trekked from Namche to Deboche on our journey to Everest Base Camp.

The trail was initially busy but soon quietened down.

Despite the clouds rolling through we had some awesome views and plenty of great banter…

I hope you didn’t think we’d forgotten it was Wednesday!!

This week you get two for the price of one!

Who can name these two peaks?

Photo taken this morning!!

Last weeks was one of my favourite places to spend the night - Bruach na Frithe.
Well done if you correctly identified it.

An awesome afternoon watching the sun set over Mount Everest from Kala Patthar

What a top day! Today we trekked from Namche to Deboche on our journey to Everest Base Camp. The trail was initially busy but soon quietened down. Despite the clouds rolling through we had some awesome views and plenty of great banter… #adventuretravel #everestbasecamp #nepal #trekking

I’m so excited! Only one month to go before we land in Kathmandu for the start of our next Everest Base Camp trek. Head to our website for your chance to join us next year on this amazing trip. #adventuretravel #everestbasecamptrek #nepal #exciting

Pinnacle Ridge was our route to the summit of Sgurr nan Gillean today - probably the best scramble in the Cuillin’s. Skye is often called the misty isle and it was certainly misty in the Cuillin’s today! None of this dampened our spirits though. Simon ably guided Paddy & Dara, gaining the summit slightly ahead of me, Al and Clem - a great day out in the hills. #cuillins #pinnacleridge #sgurrnangillean #mountaineering #mountains Veteran Owned UK Association of Mountaineering Instructors Harvey Maps

Nice little video of father & son team Jon & Matt making the final steps up the summit ridge on Island Peak in the early hours of Saturday morning - superbly supported by Phursemba Sherpa. Nice work team! #adventure #adventuretravel #islandpeak #mountaineering #mountains #trekking #nepal #trekkingpeak #himalayas @veteran.owned.uk

With a four day backlog of flights trying to get into Lukla we swapped wings for wheels and after a long and sometimes exciting drive we finally got to do some trekking today - still no flights into Lukla though… #adventuretravel #trekking #nepal

In just under two weeks we will be back in Nepal on another exciting exped - can’t wait. Keep following us to find out where we are going and what we are doing. Unleash your inner explorer and join us on a trip in 2024… #adventure #adventuretravel #nepal #trekking #mountains

This time last year we were trekking in the Langtang in Nepal, checking out options for new trips. The monsoon was lingering and the leeches were out! What were you doing this time last year? #adventure #adventuretravel #trekking #nepal #langtang #leeches

This time last year we were smashing our way around the Yorkshire Three Peaks with an awesome team from Men & Mountains - it was a great day out. What were you doing this time last year? We’d love to see some pictures of your adventures… #ThrowbackThursday #yorkshiredales #yorkshirethreepeaks Veteran Owned UK Explorer Coffees Harvey Maps
