Wanna go to Everest?
Mt. Everest BASE camp that is!
As most of you know, I went to Mt. Kilimanjaro this year and Josh Church and his wife Amber did Everest Base camp. We are so pumped by the noise around these epic events that I'd like to extend an offer to the entire team.
Through Embark Exploration Company we have put together a great deal! Quite a few of EN members have reached out to plan their own adventures with the company, so we thought.... why not see if we can form a group ourselves!
Summary:
- 12 Days: March 2 to March 14, 2019
- 9 days of hiking / 1 layover day for acclimatization
- 75-mile trek
- Start at 9,000 ft, hike to 18,541
Overview:
Hike to the doorstep of the world’s highest mountain Everest in what is arguably the highlight of any journey to Mt Everest, trekking in Nepal.
This Everest base camp trek takes even the most novice climber on a strenuous exploration of Nepal’s magical Khumbu region, allowing for close-up views of dozens of Himalayan Giants without the dangers and technical requirements of an actual summit. Sleeping mainly in tea houses along the path, ease into the vibrant Sherpa culture, pose alongside herds of yaks, breathe in the spring aromas of hedgerows and Rhododendrons bursting to life, and run your fingertips through the rush of glacial water as you approach that most illustrious of giants, Mt Everest.

Misc
If we can make these dates work, we can move forward. If the dates don't work, we can shoot for another time in 2020 but.... why put off tomorrow what you can brag about today!
- Approximate cost would run around $3,000 - $3,500 --- depending on how many people go. That includes 2 domestic flights in Nepal.
- It would be nice to get 10 trekkers; we can do as little as 5. Can take as many as 30 - 12 would be nice.
- $500 deposit, final payment due 90 days prior to the start of the trip
SOOOOOOOO Who wants to go on an adventure?????
