The Everest Family: Staying Connected to the Khumbu

How to Support Your Sherpa Crew from Home

Bonds Beyond the Mountain

The relationships built during a Mount Everest expedition often last a lifetime. Many Everest trekking enthusiasts continue to support their Sherpa guides and the Khumbu region long after they return home.

Sponsoring Education

A popular way to give back is by sponsoring the education of your guide's or porter's children. This direct support is the most effective way to ensure the future prosperity of the Everest trekking community.

Supporting Local NGOs

Organizations like the Himalayan Trust continue Hillary's work. Donating to these groups ensures that the medical and educational infrastructure of the Mount Everest summit region remains strong.

Spreading the Word

Recommend your guides to others. Ethical word-of-mouth is the best marketing for the local staff who make Mount Everest expeditions safe and successful.

A Lifelong Partnership

The Mount Everest summit brought you together, but friendship keeps the connection alive. Support the people who shared your greatest adventure.
