Seven Summits Challenge

The seduction of a trek to Everest base camp has long been known in adventure travel for its unmatched views of Everest, immersed in the peaceful world of Tibetan Buddhism and framed by the majestic Himalayas.

If you have a bit more time to really absorb the beauty of the Himalayas then this is the ultimate trek to Everest Base Camp!

This seven day camping route begins on the south west side of Kilimanjaro and skirts the summit massif over several days of good acclimatisation, and descends south down the Mweka route. Machame highlights the diversity of the different habitats of the mountain particularly well, which is perhaps why it accounts for 40% of all visitors to the mountain now.

This camping route can either be seven or eight days, the longer version splits days one and two for added acclimatisatiln. Lemosho begins on the west side of Kilimanjaro and joins up with the Machame Route enroute to Barranco Camp to skirt the summit massif and summit from Barafu, and then descend south to Mweka.

This seven day camping route starts on the northern side of the mountain and has the attraction of being a lower traffic route which is drier being in the rain shadow. The summit day route merges with the others on the crater rim and descends to the south.

The Northern Circuit Route is the longest route on Kilimanjaro and often referred to as the connoisseur's route. It offers great acclimatisation over 9 days initially ascending the Lemosho route on the western side of the mountain up onto the Shira Plateau before reaching the Lava Tower and heading north and circumnavigating the main summit massif in a clockwise direction and joining up with the Rongai route. The summit is then climbed from the eastern side of the mountain and the descent is straight down via the southern Mweka route.

Carstensz Pyramid, also known as Puncak Jaya is one of the famous 'Seven Summits' situated on the Indonesian island of Papua New Guinea.

A challenging expedition to the highest peak in South America, although modestly technical. Much of the hiking is on scree and rock. with snow and ice higher up.

A slightly longer approach to Mt Everest base camp over 17 days trekking (20 days in total including travel) that travels by land from Kathmandu to Phaplu before an ascent through the foothills, bypassing Lukla, through the heart of the Himalaya to the foot of the highest mountain on Earth.

Despite being the highest, Everest is not the most difficult of the 8000 metre peaks, but it does present certain unique challenges.
