Thank You for Making 2013 a Year to Remember!

Friday, December 20th, 2013

With the year coming to an end Berg Adventures would like to thank you for your continued support. It is because of you, our fellow adventurers, that we strive to create outstanding expeditions. Our goal remains the same: to give you the opportunity to reach your travel and climbing aspirations while fostering cultural awareness and personal growth.

This year has been one to remember. From our team reaching the summit of Mount Everest in May, to successful ascents in Bolivia, climbing Mount Ararat in Turkey and even showers on Kilimanjaro, this has been an amazing year.

This could not have happened without you! Whether you were on Mount Elbrus in Russia, following wildlife migrations in the Serengeti, or viewing our expedition dispatches and supporting our teams from home, thank you!

Check out some of our favorite moments of 2013 through these awesome photos.
