TO EVEREST AND BEYOND
Is seeing Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain at 29,032 feet, on your bucket list? Funny thing is, trekkers who spend two weeks huffing and puffing up steep Himalayan trails to Everest Base Camp never see the mountain, except its point at the top as it’s always blocked by other mountains in the way.
Above is a view of Everest no one gets to see – the entire “Western Cwm” above the Khumbu Icefall, with the full Southwest Face of Everest on the left and straight ahead its sister peak of Lhotse, the world’s 4th highest mountain at 27,940 feet.
No one, that is, except for those who’ve been with me on my three Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. Now I’m leading my fourth and last this November. This is beyond any doubt the single greatest one-week adventure it’s possible to have on earth right now.
For in going to Everest and Lhotse we’re just getting started. We go to all eight of the highest, most magnificent mountains in the Himalayas. We visit remote Sherpa villages, and a hidden Tibetan kingdom forbidden to get to until recently – it’s the last remaining true traditional Tibetan culture in the world.
