VSO Accenture Everest Base Camp 2011

Mount Everest (Nepal)

3rd - 19th March 2011

 

NOW ALSO OPEN TO GUESTS OF ACCENTURE!

Welcome to Accenture's Everest Base Camp Challenge 2011, a life-changing experience open to Accenture employees and guests.

In line with Accenture's Skills to Succeed Corporate Citizenship programme, funds raised through this challenge will support VSO's Secure Livelihoods work - helping disadvantaged people in some of the world's poorest countries secure an income and so a future for themselves and their families.  Funds will also support VSO's projects in Nepal where the trek takes place.

Take part and you could be trekking among majestic Himalayan peaks to Expedition Base Camp and on to Kala Pattar, reaching 5647m above sea level. This experience is enhanced by the opportunity to visit a VSO project and witness first hand the incredible things your support can achieve.

With a total of fourteen days trekking in extreme conditions this is not a challenge for the fainthearted, but it is an achieveable and enjoyable one. Here are some of the reasons why:

  • Anyone willing to train can participate: you don't need any prior experience as it is a non-technical trek 
  • The treks operate on a sliding scale basis so that the more money you raise, the lower your individual costs are (you could go for as little as the cost of your flights!)
  • You can easily extend your trip out there and spend more time in the area to explore independently
