October 13 – November 1 2024

In 2019 we did Mount Kilimanjaro. 2020 was Stewart Island’s Great Walk. In 2021 we did the Tongariro Crossing. This year, for our 20th year – we’re doing Mount Everest Base Camp!

“It’s our Everest year! It’s a celebration of epic proportions and the first time we have hosted a team in India.

This trip will be like no other, it really is a once in a 20-year opportunity.

I’m excited about our up-and-coming team travel to both India and Nepal and to Everest Base camp (5,364m altitude).

Not only will you be captivated by the heights, sights and sounds – but you will also be giving back to the people of India and the Himalayan region, including our very own school for refugee children on the Bhutan border (The Kiwi Himalayan Education centre).

It’s our 20th year and I’ve set a goal to raise a minimum of $150,000 through this fundraising climb, both in the climb itself – and also fundraising at home in New Zealand or locations other than Everest.

I’ve put together the information below and some indicative costings. The costs are approximate, as until we know final team numbers and exchange rates there may be some variations. We hope to confirm team numbers as early as possible to get the best prices. I am expecting a good size team as we have had strong interest in the trip.

We will be trekking with an experienced guiding company that I first met in Nepal 17 years ago.

I hope you’ll join me there!”
