Walk the valleys we work in
Our treks follow the trail to Everest Base Camp through the Khumbu villages where the Trust works. On the way you visit the first Himalayan Trust school at Khumjung and meet the students who learn there.
You walk through the Trust's work
Both of our upcoming treks pass places the Trust has supported, so you see where your donation goes.
Visit the places the Trust supports
Khumjung's first Himalayan Trust school is on the route of both treks. In the Footsteps of Hillary II trek also finishes at Khunde, for the 60th anniversary of the hospital Sir Ed and the Trust built there.
Guided by people who know the valleys
Local guides and porters look after each group. Peter Hillary leads In the Footsteps of Hillary II, and Kirsten Nicholson, a Trust board member, leads the Women's Trek to Everest Base Camp.
Your cost and your donation are listed apart
Each trek lists a trek cost and a separate donation, so you can see what each one pays for. The donation goes to the Trust's education, healthcare and water work in the valleys you walk through.
Decades in these valleys
Sir Ed built the first Himalayan Trust school at Khumjung in 1961, and the Trust has worked in the Khumbu ever since. Both treks stop there.
