On October 26, 16 hikers, including three patients, embarked on the trip of a lifetime: A trek to Everest Base Camp. The team hiked the Himalayan highlands (home of 16 of 20 of the world's tallest mountains), winding their way through small Nepalese villages on their way to "EBC" (18,300' ft elevation).

This challenging and awe-inspiring 9-day trek took our climbers on a strenuous, but friendly, journey through Nepal's magical Khumbu region, allowing for close-up views of dozens of Himalayan Giants without the dangers of a technical summit. Hikers crossed several dramatic suspension bridges and at night slept in primitive Nepalese teahouses. The team eased into the Sherpa culture, assisted by friendly herds of yaks that carried much of the team's gear.
