Home Everest Region Goli Village Support Trek

Overview

After the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal in April 2015 we starting running the Goli village support trek.

People from around the World have reached out to us and want to help the local people. Now you can.Most of our local Sherpa staff come from the village of Goli, which is located 109km/68mi east of Kathmandu. The village of Goli has 456 homes spread across spectacular valleys, and many of the homes are badly damaged or have completely collapsed.  We are working to help rebuild this beautiful village that is the home to so many of our co-workers and friends, and now you can join us to visit the village and experience the hospitality this amazing village offers. Goli village sits below Pikey peak, at 4,065m/ 13,335ft, and has some of the World’s best mountain views, which are not to be missed. You can see Kanchenjunga in eastern Nepal right across to Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu and all the way to the Annapurna range west of Kathmandu. 

Join us hiking to the summit of Pikey Peak as well as help the local people rebuild their beautiful village.  We will donate 20% of the cost of the trip directly to the village, and we encourage each client to raise a minimum of $1,000 to bring with them to Kathmandu in support of the village. OUR FIRST SCHOOL PROJECT IS COMPLETE!
