Trekkers will be hiking in the shadow of the world's highest mountain as they climb to the iconic Everest Base Camp. The adventure begins in vibrant and charming Kathmandu before setting off into the heart of the Nepal Himalaya across spectacular gorges, suspense bridges and past majestic peaks in magical landscapes on this epic route, which should be on the bucket list of every adventurer.

This is a multi-day trek to significant altitude (5,645m above sea level), led by experienced guides. Tough, but truly rewarding!

Participants on the Everest Base Camp Challenge will need to raise a £4,260 for the the Amnesty International UK Charitable UK Trust.

Amnesty International UK works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. We defend human rights whenever and wherever they are under threat and bring perpetrators of abuse to justice. We protect individuals at risk, fight for the unjustly imprisoned and prevent torture. We support marginalised groups including women, refugees, LGBTI, and other minority groups.

Some examples of issues we are currently working on include:

'I Welcome' - We work to create a fair and effective system for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in the UK (and abroad).

Women's rights - Human rights are basic rights that every person on the planet should be entitled to but many are routinely denied to women and girls. Deep-seated discrimination and social traditions often set unequal power relations between men and women. And some human rights will be denied to a woman on a daily basis (access to education or healthcare) creating multiple obstacles women face over and over again.

Human Rights in the UK – from resisting plans to scrap the Human Rights Act, working with our Belfast office supporting campaigners in their quest for justice, to supporting refuges settling in the UK with our Football Welcomes programme, we work tirelessly to support human rights at home.
