Trek to Everest base camp for your favourite charity

Private Himalaya specialises in tailor-made charity challenge treks to Everest base camp. Our tailor-made charity treks helped over 150 trekkers to raise more than £150,000 last year. We do not offer the complicated sponsor funded treks offered by most of the charity challenge business. What we do offer is the best value, highest quality charity treks so you have a great experience and more of your money goes to your chosen charity

We do not cut costs by paying porters and guides low wages and we do not cut corners by leaving out critical things: like pulse oxymeters or being fully bonded and insured with ABTA. But if you find a charity trek with everything we include at a lower price just let us know and we will do our best to price match.

Even though we do not offer any sponsor funded treks more people every year choose us to run their charity trek. These are the reasons they give us for choosing Private Himalaya.

  • We have no pre-set minimum fundraising before you can climb Kilimanjaro for charity so that you do not have to commit to raise huge sums of money from your friends and family. You self fund to pay the lowest price to trek to Everest base camp we can offer and all of your supporters money goes to your charity.
  • To help you get started on your way to raising funds for your favourite charity we have reduced our booking deposit for all charity trekkers to only £200pp. Just pay your deposit, get your guaranteed date and you are off.
  • You can trek to Everest base camp for any charity of your choosing with Private Himalaya. You just need to book your trek and let the charity know what you are planning to do and off you go.
  • Key to our approach for Everest charity treks is that the whole of your trek will be tailor made to your requirement. Your choice of routes, length of trek, dates to start a trek: all of your personal choices can be put together into a custom made trip.
  • Most "Charity Challenge" companies are actually charging a premium price for the treks to Everest base camp they provide and so more of your sponsors money goes in costs. Our pricing for all charity treks is 100% transparent: we give you our very best price and everything else goes to your charity.

Whatever their reason for choosing this challenge all our trekkers found that the trek to Everest base camp for charity was a life changing experience. Why not sign up today for the charity challenge of a lifetime?

Check out the small print in the standard "charity challenge" trek

Time and time again people come to us after they have finally worked out the small print of how the charity challenge schemes work. These are the main things they say.

  • The total cost of the "charity trek" is often over the top, sometimes £500 more than a competitive price
  • There is a big up front deposit– up to £500 before you can even register and you lose all of this if you don't do the climb
  • The total amount you are required to raise can be huge, often well over £4000pp when the cost of the trek and flight is no more than £2000
  • If you don't raise the full amount then you either lose the deposit and cannot do the climb or you have to make up all of the difference yourself
  • If you do not raise the full amount or are unable to trek for any reason, donations that have already been passed onto the charity by your friends cannot be returned- this has proven to be very embarrassing in a number of cases!
  • The charity challenge companies use undisclosed sub-contractors to run their treks and so you don't know who you are trusting with your safety
