The Good Karma Trek October 21-November 7, 2016
A team of 15 individuals from various parts of the US and Canada will come together to experience a beautiful trek through the Himalayas of Nepal and into Everest Base Camp. They will be guided and supported by the experienced guides of Sherpa Mountain Adventures, a Boulder-based Sherpa-owned company. The trip begins in Katmandu with an internal flight to Lukla where the trekking adventure will start. The trek will pass through many small villages and remote mountain areas and participants will have the unique experience of locals, sharing their culture. Visits to monasteries, Temples and cultural sites are all part of the Good Karma adventure.
Recipe for a highly successful team
Each participant can contribute to the team by showing up prepared, being supportive, having a positive mind set and pitching in whenever needed.
Sharing a common goal to trek safely while enjoying the beauty of the mountains, and in a way that respects, protects and improves the trails with a focus on helping and supporting Nepal and it’s people is The Good Karma that we give and the Good Karma we receive.
Recent History and Update
The Nepalese economy is dependent on tourism. The entire country faced difficult times after the earthquakes. Trekking and Climbing trips declined, which resulted in hard economics for many families and businesses that rely on tourism and adventure trips for jobs and income to support themselves. Trekking route conditions are for the most part, back to normal and it is safe to trek and climb in Nepal.
Sherpa Mountain Adventures
The guides and porters of SMA continue to work and provide excellent services to all the participants of their adventure trekking and climbs. The Good Karma Trek brings economic opportunities for the poor people in Nepal by providing jobs and supporting their businesses and services. By trekking and climbing, we have the unique opportunity to support and boost the economy. SMA and their participants trek and climb responsibly with sustainability of the future always in mind. Additionally they provide service projects, humanitarian projects and volunteer opportunities to help the environment, the people and the economy of Nepal.
