About

Adventurous Trekkers from every nook and corner take on the challenge of Basecamp Everest every year. The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most iconic and well-known treks in the world, taking us to the most famous base camp of all time at the foot of the highest mountain in the world! Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain and part of the Nepalese Himalayas, standing at 8,848m above sea level. Everest Base Camp is either one of two base camps on either side of Mount Everest. South Base Camp is located in Nepal at an altitude of 5,364m and North Base Camp is at 5,5150m in Tibet. These camps are primarily used by mountaineers to ascend and descend the world’s highest mountain. The Everest Base Camp Trek on the Nepalese side (South side), is one of the most popular trekking routes in the Himalayas, and myself, Owen, Emma-Jayne and Sam, who is living with Dementia have decided to take on the challenge in October of this year to raise funds for Age UK Hythe, Lyminge and Ashford. Climbing to Everest Base Camp is challenging both emotionally and physically, a challenge not to be taken lightly, but it is an achievable one! We don’t need any specialist equipment or technical climbing skills as this is a trek on mountain paths, gentle gradients but, of course, with some steep sections.
