Gareth & Tara's Everest Base Camp Expedition 2026

Raising money for St. James's Place Charitable Foundation

Everest Base Camp Challenge 2026 (SNC) · 7 November 2025 to 31 December 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

A demanding 130km trek to Everest Base Camp, facing brutal winds, snow, rain and sub-zero temperatures at altitudes of up to 18,500 ft, to help give young people in Nepal greater choices in life.

Story

In 2022, I travelled to Nepal on a Supporting Nepal's Children (SNC) expedition to help build a vocational school in a village near Kathmandu. In 2024, I returned with my son Miles to help build the charity's second vocational school in Dhangadhi.

In 2026 Tara and I return to Nepal. As well as visiting the schools we are supporting, we will be trekking to Everest Base camp to raise funds to help build further Vocational Schools.

The expedition is fully self funded so that all donations go to support the youth of Nepal.

The project supports young people by giving/allowing them a chance to learn a skill/gain education, so they can take that knowledge and build themselves a better future. As testament to the perpetual effect of the work of SNC, the furniture in Dhangadhi is being made by the youth in the Vocational School that was built in Kathmandu.

Again, EVERY PENNY that you donate will go to help the cause with our costs fully funded personally - as it should be.

Please support us and please also consider JOINING us at future expeditions!!!!
