Sherpa documentary during Everest's 60th anniversary
Looking forward to watching BBC4's documentary of the Sherpas who have climbed Mt Everest this Thursday at 9pm. Often the unsung heroes of any ascent, it is fitting that this study of four of these incredible humans is being shown in the year of the 60th anniversary of Mount Everest. "Climbing Everest with a Mountain on my Back: The Sherpas' story"
If you fancy waking up practically at the base of the mountain itself on the morning of the annivesary (29 May) then join our Everest Base Camp trip departing 18 May giving you extra acclimatisation on trek, two full days at Kala Patar and Base Camp and the opportunity to view Mount Everest at sunset rather than sunrise for better photos. Alternatively take the high road to Base Camp and join our exciting Everest & Gokyo trip departing 19 May which also enjoys a dramatic ascent of Gokyo Ri (5,360m). Or how about taking a different angle and actually being at Base Camp itself on the 29th - but on the northern side in Tibet. Join our Tibet Unplugged trip departing 19 May.
