Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatches
Deluxe Khumbu and Everest Base Camp
October 18 – November 10, 2014
For a third time this season we are headed to the Khumbu region of Nepal to trek to Everest Base Camp. Our team of 6 trekkers and climbers from Canada and the United States will travel through the remote region to visit with the local Sherpa people, stay in their beautiful homes and lodges, and marvel at their incredible mountain landscapes. Their visit to Base Camp at17,500ft/5,334m will follow after an ascent of Kala Pattar at 18,300ft/5,580m where their views of Makalu, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Lhotse and of course Mount Everest will be ones they will never forget.
Following his trek to Base Camp Kenneth Poskitt will continue his time in the Khumbu on a trek through the High Passes of Everest.
The adventure does not end there, after Base Camp Bob Mangino and Frank and Travis Brier will depart from their EBC trekkers to attempt the summit of Island Peak at 20,300ft/6,190m.
