Oct/Nov 2010 - 'Gokyo trek with a crossing of the Renjo Pass', Led by Pertemba Sherpa
Duration: 20 nights/21 days Price: £2500 (inc air fares)
President: HRH The Prince of Wales
Patron: Sir Chris Bonington
Chris Bonington: "This will be a great trek giving wonderful views of some of the World's highest peaks, culminating in a visit to the unique Sherpa Heritage House - donated by my old friend Pertemba to his community, to show how the Sherpas lived fifty years ago when I first visited Khumbu. This will be a very special and memorable experience for all."
Three times Everest Summiteer and renowned leader and climber, Pertemba Sherpa has donated his own family home in order to try and conserve part of the almost vanished Sherpa traditions.
Built by his ancestors and located in Khumjung, Pertemba Sherpa's home is older than many local ancient monasteries and is unique among the villages of the Solu Khumbu, where the majority of Sherpa homes have been radically modernised.
This is a unique opportunity to trek with a mountaineering legend through the land of his birth.
