Donate to Suas

"The trek to Base Camp with Suas was such an incredible experience. Not only is it the adventure of a lifetime, but the money raised supports such fantastic work in under-resourced communities.  It really is a wonderful opportunity."
- Carol O'Brien, Suas Base Camp Team 2012

The Cost

Participation Fee:
•    Everest Base Camp Trek - €1950
•    Himalayan Trail Trek  to Annapurna Poon Hill - €1500

Participation fee includes all flights, internal transportation & accommodation, food, trekking and support costs, as well as pre departure training.

We then ask you to fundraise just €1500 to directly support the work of Suas partner education projects in India and Kenya.*

Why trek the Himalayas?

Proudly housing nine of the world's fourteen highest mountain peaks, Nepal is a true Himalayan kingdom. Nepal (voted again as best value destination by Lonely Planet) is one of the most enchanting countries in the world, known globally for the warmth of its people, colourful culture, magical temples and of course some of nature's most magnificent monuments - the towering Himalayas. Our Treks have been designed so that you will experience and enjoy all of the above and much much more with no technical or previous hiking experience required!

Why trek with Suas?

At Suas, we use a well established local Nepali Trekking company meaning not only are we able to offer an extremely competitive price for our treks but this also means that all revenue generated from the trek in Nepal stays in Nepal and we contribute directly towards the local communities through which we will be trekking.

Every penny that is fund-raised from this trek will go directly towards supporting quality Education projects in Kenya and India. These projects include access to quality Primary School education for children living in the slums of Nairobi. In India this means access to coaching centres for Children in Kolkata supporting them to stay in school.

Just €1500 will provide the following:

In India:     20 children to attend coaching centres for a year.   
In Kenya:    7 children to attend primary school for a year.

* Please note that fundraised money may not be used to cover the cost of participation, this must be covered by the participant themselves.
