Trek with Swiss Hope Sherpa
We are in the process of opening our own trekking company. The co-operation with Lhakpa, Pasang's brother, is good, but sometimes complicated. If we have our own company, we don't always have to
go through Lhakpa, but can organise everything ourselves. The plan is that we will have set up the company by the time of our expedition in 2024. Initially, we will start with our project trips,
then we will add more and more trips, even without a visit from Chheskam. With this new company, we can also advertise Swiss Hope Sherpa, as 5% of every trip booking goes to our
organisation.
For the time being, however, everything will continue to run through Lhakpa's company until we can open our own.
Project trip 2025
We are planning our project trip to Makalu Base Camp at the end of October 2025. For this trip you have to reckon with about four weeks. We will announce the exact date when you register.
The trek to Makalu Base Camp is one of the toughest treks Nepal has to offer. You can walk for at least 6-8 hours in difficult terrain and have a very good level of physical fitness. This trek is
not as well known as other trekking destinations in Nepal, so the remote trails are not heavily travelled. The trail to the base camp of the world's fifth highest peak is one of the country's
forgotten trekking routes. This is a perfect trek for adventure seekers who want to explore the remote areas of the Himalayan country and learn about the Himalayan culture and lifestyle of people
living at higher altitudes.
