Here are a few images and updates from the trail. We currently have 10 teams in the Khumbu Valley, all with eyes on big objectives, from the summit of Everest at 29,035 feet to our luxury Everest Base Camp at 17,598 feet.

Our Rugged Luxury team one is inching closer to Everest Base Camp after spending a few nights at our Lobuche Base Camp. Team two is in Pheriche, their last stop before heading to Lobuche Base Camp.  Photos of Lobuche Base Camp courtesy of Nicole Porto, Rugged Luxury trekker. 

Our Everest Base Camp trekkers arrived in Kathmandu safely; tomorrow, they will hit the trail from Lukla. This team will be joined by Camp 3 climber Doug, along with the Kirby family. The Kirby family includes private climber Michael, who will attempt to summit Everest, while his wife and daughter support him from Everest Base Camp. If you’re considering a summit attempt and also want the support of your loved ones, we have a slew of options for friends and family.

Meanwhile, our Western Guided team, 3 Peaks team, and private climber Marlene enjoyed the luxuries of Namche, the cultural center of the Khumbu, and are en route to Tengboche. Once there, they will take another rest day and an acclimatization hike to another cultural hub—the Tengboche Monastery.

Our private climbers and Lobuche team arrived in Namche today. They will have a chance to soak up those first glimpses of Everest as they settle in for a rest and acclimatization day tomorrow.
