Challenge Your Limits

​Our Head of Ops decided to challenge herself and head out for her first-ever trek...to Everest Base Camp (you can read all about it here). She was recovering from cancer and decided it was time to snap out of self-pity mode.

You may have your own reasons, but if you're looking to challenge yourself, there's no one better to do it with than MHE. You are guaranteed knowledgeable and attentive service from the moment you enquire, till the time the trip has completed. Between our trekking leaders, guides, all the office adventure staff, and the CEO and Founder themselves, we’ve got over 500 years of outdoor adventure experience that we're happy to share.

A challenge has a different meaning for everyone; maybe it’s trying rafting for the first time, or taking a multi day trek. Perhaps you want to trek to Everest Base Camp, cross a mighty Himalayan pass, raft a foaming river, or take a Himalayan jeep safari. It could be a physical or mental challenge; either way it will enrich your life.

We travel ethically, and we don’t stint on properly trained and paid staff. Your safety and security is paramount; we take heed of regulations, changes in weather, and local conditions. Wherever possible our trips are “all inclusive” which means the price you see on our website is the price you pay – no hidden or insidious "extras" for things like porters, water, or transport.

If you think you’re ready to take up a challenge, check out some of our scheduled departures here and other great trips. And do give us a call, we’ve got lots of stories to tell!
