MT. EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK 2026
April 6th - 19th, 2026
Mt. Everest… the tallest mountain and one of the most magnificent sights on earth. Located on the Nepal, China border of the Himalayas, Mt. Everest is a place not everyone will be lucky enough to see.
What Makes Our Trip Unique?
You will actually get to spend the night at the Mt. Everest Base Camp! Rather than just hiking to the camp and leaving, we will get to spend almost 2 full days at the camp for an immersive experience. Concerned about carrying your gear? Don’t worry, we’ll have someone else carry all our gear up the mountain! All you need to carry is your day pack with an extra layer, water and snacks. To help us acclimate to the altitude, we will have 2 days of scheduled rest. Enjoy a spectacular helicopter ride down from the base camp for the ultimate finish.
The Journey…
Our Mt. Everest Base Camp 2026 Adventure for All will be the journey of a lifetime. Experienced local Nepalese guides will take us on an incredible journey to the foothills of the mightiest mountains in the world. We’ll traverse through rhododendrons, pine forests, rivers, Sherpa villages and Buddhist Monasteries to reach our ultimate destination. The Himalayas are best viewed on the main route of the Khumbu region. Get ready for a closeup view of the world’s greatest mountains, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Thamserku, Tawache and others.
Hoping to see amazing wildlife? Our route takes us along the highest wildlife reserve in the world, ranging from 9,000 ft. to the top of the world. The Sagarmatha National Park covers an area of 1,148 sq. km. of the Himalayan ecological zone. Sagarmatha National Park is a World Heritage Site, remarked for its distinct natural, cultural and landscape characteristics.
Be prepared for great hospitality and acceptance. The teachings of Sherpa Buddhism talk of a spiritual understanding between all beings. Khumbu comes from its guardian deity Khumbila Tetsan Gelbu. The literal translation is “Khumbu country god.”
If you’re ready to start your ascent to the roof of the world, join us for our Mt. Everest Base Camp 2026 Adventures for All!

Where are we going?Each year we take trips to: Yellowstone, Zion, and Alaskan National Parks. We hope you'll join us!
-
Can my friend(s) come along with me?That might be possible. Get in touch with us, and let's talk. We can walk you and your friend through the process so you can both apply.
-
How many kids will be there, and will we all be in one group?Our program has anywhere between 8 to 12 kids.
-
If there are multiple groups, can my little brother not be in my group? Please?While we're sure you and your brother are both bound to make tons of new friends and have loads of fun, we're always together as one group.
-
How will I make friends?We have tons of group activities and ice-breakers, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet your travel buddies!
-
How old are all the kids?Kids from the 4th grade to 12th grade can go on these trips.
-
What will we do?Generally, we enjoy going for a hike, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. There are also plenty of opportunities to learn about geology, wildlife, geothermal, marine life, and history! Additional activities are largely dependent on where we go.
-
What will we eat?Standard breakfast food is how we generally start the days, followed by packed picnic-style lunches at midday, and team-cooked dinners in the evening. We pre-order all of our food from the grocery store prior to arrival, taking into account individual dietary needs.
-
Can I bring my cellphone? I promise I'll only use it to take pictures!Yes. We don't take away cell phones. Use them to take as many photos as you want. However, service is going to be very limited. Don't come assuming you'll be spending all day texting your friends back home.

-
What should I pack?We encourage you to pack all the standard clothes and toiletries. In addition, we provide a unique pack list for each trip.

-
Is there a swimming pool?There are no pools, but there's a chance to take a dip in most of the places we go. Splashing around in nature's waters is better than those "concrete ponds" anyway!
-
My school requires volunteer hours. If I help out, can I count some of my time towards meeting that requirement?Certainly. Let's talk about that to be sure we meet all your school requirements ahead of the trip!
-
What if I get my period? Will there be access to a store to buy those kind of supplies?In Yellowstone and Zion National Park, there will be access to a store. When there are girls attending, we will always have a female chaperone carrying extra supplies as well.
