A Stunning Day Of Trekking For Our Everest 2019 Team

BREATHTAKING WEATHER IN THE KHUMBU AND FROM PHAKDING TO NAMCHE IN JUST 4 HOURS!

Believe us, that after 20 years guiding Mount Everest, when the hike from Phakding to Namche takes just 4 hours, we have a really fit and strong team! It’s just fanstastic to be back on this trail, which is a true bucket list hike for good reason. The mountains are breathtaking, the village culture of the Sherpa people fascinating, and the excitement of being on the trail to Everest after literally months if not years of preparation is difficult to put into words. Check out the glorious weather. Tomorrow the team stay another night in Namche Bazaar, but will hike up to the Everest View Cafe, gaining essential elevation for the acclimatization process during the day and giving their bodies a little rest tomorrow night before heading on up to Deboche the day after tomorrow. AMAZING views await!

“Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb!”

“In my experience, few provide a more complete, safe and rewarding expedition experience than the Benegas Brothers. When it comes to expedition judgement, safety and climbing ethics, Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb. There’s a lot more to high altitude climbing expeditions than just getting to the top. Team dynamics, the opportunities to learn skills, making lifelong friends, enjoying new cultures and cuisine are some of the important elements of an expedition. In my experience, few provide a more complete, safe and rewarding expedition experience than the Benegas Brothers. When it comes to expedition judgement, safety and climbing ethics, Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb. My son Matt and I have 100% trust and confidence in Willie and Damian and when I’m not climbing with Matt, it’s reassuring to know he’s with the Benegas Brothers. ”
