Trek Nepal with Mark Inglis
About
Trip Overview
The Gokyo Lakes region at the head of the Dudh Kosi Valley provides a more tranquil trek through the Sherpa heartland that affords ample time for acclimatisation with opportunities to savour the mountain panoramas from beautiful alpine campsites.

About your Leader/Escort
Mark Inglis:
For Mark Inglis, standing on the summit of Mount Everest had always been a boyhood dream, a dream that he thought he had lost in 1982 when as a Search and Rescue Mountaineer in New Zealand’s majestic Mount Cook National Park, he had a ‘hiccup’ (in Mark’s words) in his climbing career, stuck in an ice cave dubbed ‘Middle Peak Hotel’ near the summit of Mount Cook for 14 days. As a result of this stay, Mark lost both legs below the knees to frostbite.
Mark achieved his dream to summit Mount Everest in 2006 and became the first double amputee to do so. Mark is also a winemaker, well-known author, patron of the Cambodia Trust and patron of the NZ/Nepal Foundation. Mark will help interpret the magical place that are the mountains of Nepal and will fill your evenings with tales of adventure and survival and help motivate you to achieve your goals.
