On our acclimatisation walk above Dinboche. A stunning location in the heart of the Khumbu.

The Classic Everest trek group will head up to Lobuche and Gorak Shep before visiting base camp and the Island Peak team will carry on to Chhukhung and then to Island Peak base camp.

15th April

The team all arrived safely into Kathmandu and made the flight to Lukla without any delays. They even had the pleasure of sharing the flight with celebs Ben Fogle and Victoria Pendleton.

The weather has been good while they are heading up the Khumbu valley towards Namche.

The team bumped into an old Adventure Peaks friend, Matt Williams, who climbed Everest in 2008 with Adventure Peaks.

The team are doing fantastically well making exceptional time today trekking into Namche. Tomorrow is an acclimatisation day followed by a look around Namche.
