Join veteran mountaineer Lincoln Hall – who in 2006 stunned the world by surviving a night alone and without oxygen at 8600 m on Mt Everest – on the trekking trip of a lifetime in Nepal. This 20-day trip takes in the dramatic scenery around Ama Dablam, one of the most spectacular mountains in the Nepal Himalaya. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mt Everest as you climb to base camp on Ama Dablam’s northern flank. In 1981 Lincoln and his team became the first Australians to reach the summit. The trek is fully supported by World Expeditions, which has been operating expeditions in Nepal for nearly 35 years. Trek days are short, and in the company of Lincoln, this journey is not to be missed.
