Everest Base Camp Trek

An amazing group of friends Dipak, Anjla and Chattan took on one of the toughest challenges in order to raise money for WaterAid. They trekked up to the base camp of the world's highest mountain, Everest.

The trek took them a total of 11 days to complete, 7 days to hike to the base camp and 4 days to return. Starting from Lukla to the South Base Camp on the Nepal side; they walked between 6-8 hours per day (low altitude) and 1-3 hours per day (high altitude).

Crossing rivers, forests, villages, rocky trails, seeing a monastery and battling the altitude and cold weather, the group survived to get to the base camp and enjoyed the amazing views of the peaks of Mount Everest.

WaterAid would like to say big thank you to Dipak, Anjla and Chattan for all their support in raising over £3,000 for our work.

If you are looking to take on a new challenge and feel inspired by Dipak, Anjla and Chattan then visit Charity Challenge website or Discover Adventure for ideas and details on exciting challenges!
