The shopping in Nepal is so much fun! You’ll find puffer jackets and vests (even puffer pants!), rain jackets, headwear, active wear, sunglasses, jewellery, all your hiking needs, beautiful cashmere scarves and blankets, amazing artwork (whilst meeting the proud artist), and much much more all for incredible pricing. Most our travellers are so surprised by how good the shopping is that they have to purchase an extra North Face bag to take it all home in 🛍️🧳

For just $25 you’ll fill a backpack and support Sunsar Maya’s mission to help vulnerable children in Nepal build pathways out of poverty. Their holistic, community-based programmes promote education, mental health, and physical wellbeing. And until Friday night an amazing sponsor is doubling the amount of backpacks filled ❤️🎒

✨ Exciting News! ✨

One of SuMa's amazing supporters is offering a Backpack Match! For every backpack filled ($25), she will fill another!

🎒 1 backpack = 2 filled!
🎒 2 backpacks = 4 filled!
🎒 4 backpacks = 8 filled!

(You get the idea 😁)

We have 116 filled so far, but we need more to support all 300 SuMa students. Let’s make it happen! Don’t wait—the match ends Friday, Sept. 27 at midnight!

Empower a student for success! ⬇️

It's been awhile since we posted but we're coming with something fun - a video of our April Everest Base Camp tour which included 4.5star accommodation and a side trip to the chill city of Pokhara. We had incredible weather, and were so lucky with all flights and helicopters going as planned! We loved our rural school visit, joining Curry Without Worry, and catching up with IGWR. A hugely successful adventure!

Everest Base Camp Premium Tour April 2024! Eight days of "Little Up, Little Down" got us to Base Camp, which was helped by knowing we would take a helicopter...

Super excited to see the Sunsar Maya Literacy Programme in action on our next trip to Nepal. We’ve been trying to incorporate our groups visiting this one but something always gets in the way. Bring on April 📝🧮🙌

In Nepal the saying is "Dahl Bhat Power, Twenty-Four Hour". I say "Pringles Power, Twenty-Four Hour". This is my daily snack when hiking in the Himalayas and I love that it's guilt free after all the steps! - Olivia 👣🏃‍♀️💪🏔

Incredibly thrilled to have Mary book her second tour with Summit Adventures! Mary joined us for 'Taste of Nepal' this year in which we completed a five-day trek in Annapurna. So excited to have her coming back in April 2024 to reach Everest Base Camp and revisit the people she met. What is especially amazing is that Mary had a full knee replacement in February 2022, so I am in awe of her training, strength and determination.
A message from Mary 📣 "I'm grateful that the combination of retirement, surgery and physio has given me the opportunity to tramp again. EBC is a massive challenge but also the opportunity to interact and gain further insight into the challenges of many in Nepal. Being involved and able to contribute in a small way to help sustain worthy projects, makes me just as grateful" 🥰💪🙏

Loving our new water bottles, especially the handy-dandy handle! These hydration stations are ready for our Everest Base Camp Premium adventurers. They keep the water so cold which is exactly what's needed when hiking the mountains of Nepal in April 🧊💧What colour would you dibs?

Introducing Gina ✨ one of our Kiwi guides for the April 2024 Everest Base Camp Premium tour! Having previously been an alpine hiking guide here in NZ, and knowing top spots to dine and shop in Nepal, we know Gina will be an asset to all our adventurers. "Nepal is an incredible place, and I can't wait to get back to the people, the culture, and the mountains" a message from Gina 😍🙋‍♀️

Today I am almost as happy as I was on this clear sky morning with panoramic views of the Himalayas - I have regained access to this Summit page!! 🤸‍♀️ 🙌 The reason for being so quiet last few months is I was locked out, so expect to see more from now on.
