Closing the Loop: Gear Donation Programs in Nepal

Where to Give Your Mount Everest summit Kit After the Trek

Pass the Passion

You’ve reached the Mount Everest summit region and finished your Everest trekking adventure. Now, you have a pile of gear you might not need again. Donating it is the most meaningful end to any Mount Everest expedition.

The Porter's Clothing Bank

There are dedicated banks in Namche and Kathmandu that provide high-quality gear to porters who can't afford it. Your old down jacket could be a life-saver for the next Mount Everest expedition support staff.

Local Climbing Schools

Organizations that train young Sherpas to be guides always need technical gear like harnesses and carabiners. Giving your Everest trekking peak kit to these schools helps the future of the Mount Everest summit industry.

Environmental Clean-Up Teams

Groups that specialize in removing waste from Everest Base Camp often need rugged duffel bags and boots. Donating your expedition luggage supports the ongoing effort to keep the Mount Everest summit clean.

The Gift of Adventure

Your gear has a second life. By donating it after your Mount Everest expedition, you help others experience the magic of the Mount Everest summit region safely.
