Our Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek, led by experienced yoga teacher & mountain guide, Heather Kinang, will take approximately 25 days as we trek a whopping 250 km in extreme cold and at high altitude. Have we gone mad? 

We’ll follow the original route used by the early explorers including Edmund Hillary, beginning at an altitude of 1800m, reaching 5300m at Everest Base Camp and ascending to the summit of Kala Patar 5500m for views of Mount Everest.

Neither of us are 'sportos', so it will be an extreme mental and physical challenge. We are in training .... and we’ll deal with the altitude and freezing cold when we get there. What an adventure! 😱

So........we’re raising funds for ‘The Orangutan Project’. Why? We can’t abide the destruction of rainforests for palm oil. So on those days whilst trekking, freezing, when we just want to give up, we can take heart that we are doing this to save our orange frizzy haired relatives. 

Head to the website of 'The Orangutan Project' to find out about the amazing work they do.
