  Some nice heli skills on display when flying into our Kanchenjunga base camp in 2017. No mean feat landing on the tiny pad. The pad was made bigger in 2018 to minimise any fly-arounds.

  Her smile says it all - the sun, the snow, the prayer flags and the blue sky. Nepal has so much waiting for those who choose to venture off to this amazing country. Thank you, Nikki, for sharing your great photo with us and allowing us to share it with others. Namaste!

  One of the many things we love about what we do is that clients become friends with our shared experiences and our common passion for the outdoors and for adventure. Today, Lakpa and Chhiring met up with some of those friends in Sydney’s CBD. Then, it was off for some training indoors.

  The ANNAPURNA region is one of Nepal's most popular areas for first time trekkers to Nepal because of the easier terrain, lower trekking altitudes and, of course, the spectacular views. Nepal's spring climbing and trekking season is now over and signs of the monsoonal rains are already here. At Expedition Base, we are already preparing for the post-monsoon autumn season and we look forward to welcoming climbers and trekkers back to Nepal for their new adventures soon.

  Expedition Base had a great team and experience on Kanchenjunga with summit successes in challenging conditions, thanks to the strength of our Sherpa and member team. We wanted to share some amazing photos of the mountain with you as we say goodbye to Kanchenjunga for this year.
