And we're off!
This April, Pierre and his group of avid explorers will be taking on Mount Everest Base Camp.
Once reached, Pierre will be undertaking the demanding yet ultimately rewarding hike to the highest peak of the planet - The Might Mount Everest.
Our flight to Kathmandu leaves at 7 pm on the second of April, and we depart for the first leg of our thrilling adventure on the sixth.
We will be meandering up rugged slopes, along cobblestone footpaths, and on the edge of some of the world’s most glorious mountain ranges.
We’ll witness rustic villages and unparalleled landscapes, eat delicious authentic curries (and drink plenty of yak milk), listen to the blissful sounds of the Nepalese country and mountain environments, meet a diversity of people (and puppies), and walk for an extended 15 days up and down the Himalayas.
Once the group of merry meanderers reaches Base Camp, Pierre will say his fond farewells as he continues his ascend, and the others will enjoy a smooth decline to decompress in Lukla and Kathmandu.
This is truly going to be a once in a lifetime event.
Pierre will be embarking on a further one-month climb up the snowy slopes of Everest. While he's still awaiting confirmation, he is preparing to fly off from Mount Everest's surrounding areas, completing one of the most unbelievable paragliding feats for 7Summits7Flights.
