Everest Basecamp Trek
Nepal

Our Everest Basecamp trek will be a 16 day trek through Everest base camp stopping along the way to tour the centuries old Buddhist monasteries. This portered tea-house trip will be for backpackers and climbers a like. With a starting elevation of about 8,000ft the trip begins near the rainforest. As the trail ascends along the ridges and valleys of the Khumbu region the environment quickly changes to conifer forests and high alpine terrain. After nine days of hiking we reach Everest base camp and an optional side hike to Kala Pataar at over 18,000 feet.
A typical day in the Khumbu may be spent hiking within view of the highest mountains in the world. Ama Dablam, Pumori, Nuptse, and Everest are just a few of the big peaks along the way. On rest days we take it easy with an opportunity to visit local Buddhist monasteries, barter in the trader’s markets, or spend a relaxed evening in the tea houses learning about the Nepali people.
“I’m couldn’t be more excited about this trip.” SWS guide James Brown. “This is one of the most exciting regions of the world if you love the mountains. This trip allows an awesome sampling of big peaks and an opportunity of emergence in Nepal and Sherpa culture.”
For the more experienced climbers there will also be the opportunity for an optional side climb of Imja Se (Island Peak, 20,285ft.) This climb poses a more technical adventure to the trip despite being one of the smaller peaks of the Himalaya. It is a perfect starting point for people interested in climbing the Himalaya in the future.
The return to Kathmandu marks the end of our expedition and an opportunity to see more an amazing country. Come see what this trip has to offer you, give us a call at 888.797.6867

Cordillera Blanca, Peru - Trekking
Llanganuco to Santa Cruz Loop

We begin our journey in Lima, the capital of Peru. After an evening in the hustle of this strongly Spanish-influenced city, we ride a bus north along the arid coast, then east and up into the mighty Andes of central Peru. Our destination is Huaraz, lying at an altitude of 10,000 feet in a wide river valley, the Callejon de Huaylas. Your first view of this fertile valley is dazzling. As the bus tops the last pass, the view of the ice-clad Cordillera Blanca spread across the horizon is unforgettable.The Cordillera Blanca ("white mountains"), contain some of the finest alpine trekking and climbing found in the world. Lying just ten degrees south of the equator, this glaciated, tropical range has over 40 peaks approaching 20,000 ft. The east side of the Blancas feed the head waters of the Amazon River, while the west side is cut by many deep "U-shaped" glacial valleys.

This is a land of beautiful turquoise lakes and high granite cliffs. The highest mountain in Peru, Nevado Huascaran (22,205') is found in the Cordillera Blanca, in the country's finest national park, Parque Nacional Huascaran. We will be taking a six-day trek from Llanganuco to Santa Cruz deep into the Blancas. We will be passing by deep turquoise lakes, high granite wall and dozens of peaks up to 22,000 ft.
