The summit of Mount Everest might be a bit out of reach for most (fitness and financially speaking) but you can still reach the base of the highest mountain on earth.

Everest’s base camps are situated at above 5 000m altitude- that’s more than five times the height of Table Mountain! But life is not just about the destination, and this journey there will be an epic one. Plus, you can get a staggering 50% discount on this deal.
Highlights include stopping over at Namche Bazaar where locals barter over yak cheese and butter and visiting a beautiful monastery.
Your first sighting of the snow-capped peaks of Mount Everest, and the mountain views that follow, of Makalu, Lhotse and Cho Oyu will no doubt leave you breathless.
