The short story
|
| Everest Scenic Flight, Nepal |
Half day
|
Fly along the front of the Himalayas and around the Everest region for a unique vantage point on those famous mountains |
| Everest View Trek, Nepal |
9 days
|
Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla and trek into Sargarmatha National Park. The Everest view from above Khumjung is among the best in the whole area |
| Everest Base Camp Explorer, Nepal |
19 days |
Our usual route takes in the Gokyo Valley and Cho La, but you could stick to the main Khumbu Valley route all the way for a slightly shorter trek |
| Annapurna Circuit, or Sanctuary; treks & climbs |
21 days |
Trek along the Marshyangdi River from the middle hills into mountain valleys that seem more Tibet than Nepal. Trek right around truly spectacular mountains of the Annapurna Range, in the well travelled valley, or on a less travelled route that traverses the valley walls. Many alternative itineraries! |
| Langtang Trek |
11 days |
A mountain trek within driving distance of Kathmandu. |
| African Twin Peaks: Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru |
16 days
|
An acclimatisation trek and walking safari on Mount Meru, jeep safari in Arusha National Park, trek the Machame route to the summit Kilimanjaro ‘the Roof of Africa’ (5896m), and a private jeep safari to parks of your choice (but we recommend Tarangiri, Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti)
|
| New Zealand Mountaineering |
7 to 30 days |
NZ is our old stomping ground and is an ideal place to learn solid mountain skills under the tutelage of excellent guides, or to climb amazing routes. The options range from leisurely courses at mountain huts, to self-supported long alpine rock routes, short fly-in-fly-out ascents of peaks like Cook and Tasman, and everything in between |
| Island Peak, Nepal |
22 days |
Perhaps ‘the’ classic trekking peak, at the end of the Khumbu valley. The classic route ascends rocky tracks and moderate angled glaciers to the 6189m summit |
Nevado Sajama, Bolivia
|
19 days |
A warm up acclimatization trek from Cusco to Machu Picchu, across Lake Titicaca to climb Bolivia’s highest mountain, Nevado Sajama |
Mount Elbrus, Russia
|
14 days |
The highest mountain in Europe can be trekked from ski slopes with picturesque acclimatisation…. |
Mount Blanc, France
|
7 days |
On the border of Switzerland and France, highest point in western Europe. Climbable with some preparation and a good UIAGM guide. Its neighbours offer harder, easier and different options for routes. Small groups can be accommodated due to the excellent inffrastructure int the area. |
| Tour du Mount Blanc |
7-10 days |
A very civilised walking circuit around Western Europe's highest peak, the Mont Blanc Massif. Trek roughly 150 km through Switzerland, Italy and France. |
Denali, Alaska
|
4 weeks
|
The highest mountain in North America (and its in Alaska to boot) demands respect and commitment to a long hard, fun expedition.
|
| Aconcagua Grand Traverse, Argentina |
21 days |
The highest point in the Americas, 6962m. We suggest ascending the Vacas Valley, the false Polish Glacier route to the summit, descending the route normal (Horcones valley). This gives a more picturesque and gentler approach to this huge mountain. |
| Ama Dablam, Nepal |
31 days
|
We have run many successful expeditions on the ‘standard’ SW Ridge Route. However with an increase in the number of climbers and some deterioration in the route, so we would recommend climbing the 'standard' route in a shoulder season. On the other hand, the North Ridge offers a less-travelled and still achievable route up this stunning mountain in the Everest region of Nepal
|
| Sailing expedition to the mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula |
21-42 days |
Charter the Antarctic sailing vessel, her experienced crew, an expedition leader and 8 of you can climb or ski-tour the small or tall mountains of this last frozen land. Side trips for historical bases, penguin, seal and whale viewing and just to explore are perhaps the most wonderful ‘include’ ever! Truly the experience of a lifetime. |

Sea to Summit on the highest mountain in Antarctica!
Or take a ski plane to the base
|
