Everest Base Camp Trek

We will take the mythical path, through sherpa villages and cities, staying at storied teahouses, where pioneers planned the impossible and in whose footsteps we follow to the world’s most famous starting point. A journey here is not simply of the physical, but at once emotional, historical and spiritual. Flags in bright colours honour those whose spirit flies amongst the clouds and carries us on our journey toward the great, revered Chomolungma (mother goddess of the earth), whom we now call Everest.

TREKKING GUIDE
Evan Campbell, (Dublin)With Tomas as our guide for a week around Mont Blanc he was key to making a group of strangers lifelong friends. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, organized and efficient, we will definitely call on Tomas for our reunion hikes
Athena Michaelides - EdinburghDuring the TMB Tom provided us with an amazing itinerary with loads of routes off the beaten track where we got to explore the more remote areas of the Mont Blanc massif and encountered more wildlife than people!
Cathy Collins Lukes, CA, USATomás is a kind soul to hike & chat with who truly enjoys sharing his love of the mountains & outdoors with his clients
Kieran Kavanagh - Ireland (60)“Several friends and I took a 12-day hike to Everest Basecamp with Citizens of the Wild in Oct 2022 and had a truly awesome experience. Killian and Tomás and their Sherpa and local guide team were thoroughly professional and looked after us from when we booked our trip (including travel, training & kit advice and video-briefing before the trip), through our arrival and stay in Kathmandu until we left Nepal two weeks later, introducing us not just to the breath-taking beauty of the Khumbu valley but, by bringing us on a road less travelled, allowing us to experience the remarkable culture of Nepal and its people. A true life experience - I cannot recommend the trip and Citizens of the Wild highly enough.
Janine, CanadaI would do any trip with him! He was a joy to hike with. Knowledgeable, professional, organized, and sincerely interested and concerned about the hikers. Was able to handle all the curve balls thrown at him: coming up with a Plan B when there was a bad weather forecast, finding a physiotherapist for me when I injured my knee, helping a hiker who had a medical problem, and keeping things on track when one of the guides got food poisoning and was out of commission for a couple of days.
Randy Wert, CaliforniaKillian was engaging and impressively knowledgeable of the turf. Leadership style calm, yet firm and confidence-inducing. Killian’s experience always evident. A+ contributor.
