The Farewell Circle: Saying Goodbye to Your Crew

Etiquette for the Final Night of Your Everest Expedition

Closing the Chapter

The final night in Lukla is a time of high emotion. Your Everest trekking journey is ending, and it’s time to say goodbye to the crew who made your Mount Everest expedition successful. Proper etiquette ensures a meaningful farewell.

The Tipping Ceremony

The 'Tipping Ceremony' is a joyous event. It is customary to present tips in envelopes with both hands. This financial gratitude is vital for the families of the Sherpas who supported your Mount Everest summit goals.

Speech and Stories

Acknowledge each member of the staff publicly. Sharing a funny or touching story from the trail to Everest Base Camp builds a lasting bond that goes beyond the professional Mount Everest expedition contract.

Singing and Dancing

Join in the local dances and songs. The 'Resham Firiri' is the anthem of the Khumbu. Participating in this joy is the ultimate sign of respect after the physical struggle of your Everest trekking adventure.

Friends for Life

The mountain brought you together; the heart keeps you connected. Finish your Mount Everest expedition with a celebration of the human spirit. Namaste.
