CARRY ME BACK PROGRAM ♻

Earth’s Edge are proud supporters of the Carry Me Back program!

This crowdsourced waste removal system organises for any willing clients travelling in Nepal to carry a bag containing 1kg of shredded waste from the trails to a pick-up point. From here, it is collected and transferred to a recycling facility.

This project is helping to move the 700kg+ of waste that is generated per day in the Khumbu region from the burn pits in which it is normally left.

You can read more about the program via the link below!

Darragh summited Kilimanjaro with us back in June this year - here's his take on the expedition!

"The trip was incredible. Nothing I could fault. The people made it. Every one of the guides and porters as well as the people in the group were just amazing.

Freddie and Walter were amazing guides and so much fun and knowledgeable.

Bobby the doctor was an unbelievable addition. He was super professional but felt like a member of the group firstly which made it really easy to approach him."

"This trip is a true cultural immersion, offering not only a glimpse of the beautiful city of Cusco, but also an opportunity to delve into traditional Peruvian cuisine, partake in the art of crafting Peruvian coffee, soak in natural hot springs, and marvel at two of the Inca’s most magnificent architectural creations. Not to mention getting to experience the beautiful wilderness of the Andean landscape!"

"We persevered relentlessly against the biting winds until the first light of dawn revealed the summit. Overwhelmed by the exhaustion and the challenging hours we had just endured, I couldn’t help but cry with joy. It was a truly surreal moment – I’ve seen countless pictures and videos of our clients and even some of my coworkers standing at the peak of Kilimanjaro, I’ve read their testimonials and heard their stories. But I was entirely unprepared for the myriad of the emotions I experienced – the pride, the overwhelming joy, the slight disbelief, and the fatigue – all hitting me at once, as I finally stood atop Africa’s tallest mountain."

Our Ari documented her entire journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro in 2024, and you can read her Kilimanjaro Diaries series here for more incredible insight: bit.ly/47JEjKA

Breeda recently travelled with us to Everest Base Camp - here's what she had to say about her experience in Nepal!

"Embarking on my Everest Base Camp trek with Earth's Edge truly was a once in a lifetime experience that expertly combined breathtaking scenery, physical challenge and exceptional organisation.

Ari is off to Everest Base Camp this September! Here's what she had to say about her most anticipated part of the iconic experience:

"I can't wait for my Everest Base Camp trip this September! The idea of trekking through the stunning Himalayas, soaking in the Nepalese culture and getting up close to some of the most beautiful mountains in the world is so exciting!

I'm ready to push myself both physically and mentally, knowing the amazing views will be absolutely worth it. I'm also really looking forward to staying in the tea houses along the way, where we can chill, share stories, and enjoy the local hospitality. I can already picture sipping hot tea by the stove after a long day of hiking!

Exploring new places, making new friends, and creating lifelong memories – it’s going to be an incredible adventure!"
