Perfect for adventure seekers who want to experience the beauty and challenge of trekking through Nepal’s Himalayas while giving back to those they encounter, Trek with a Purpose’s base itinerary will take travelers from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp, introducing them to Sherpa culture along the way.
Trekkers with a hunger for more adventure and culture will also have the opportunity to add on a climb up Island Peak, the famed 20,305-foot-tall mountain in the Everest Region, as well as take a cultural tour of Edge of Seven’s community development projects in the lower Solukhumbu.
All proceeds raised by trekkers participating in the trek will go toward Edge of Seven’s Community Development Program, which creates access to education for girls and women in Nepal by supporting and funding educational infrastructure projects.
