September 24, 2024 – It's exactly one year until World Expeditions, one of the world's original adventure travel companies, celebrates its 50th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the company has launched a series of exclusive treks through Nepal's most iconic region for September 2025. Trekkers from around the globe are invited to join one of nine World Expeditions 50th Anniversary Treks that will culminate in a black-tie banquet with Everest as the backdrop on September 24, 2025.

This golden anniversary is more than just a celebration; it's a return to the roots of adventure travel, honouring five decades of exploring the world's most breathtaking landscapes.

The treks range from 13 to 30 days, offering participants a chance to enjoy the region's most famous peaks, from Everest to Ama Dablam. All participants will meet for the surreal experience of an evening of celebration with an anniversary banquet at the majestic Thyangboche Monastery.

Among the highlights is the opportunity to trek alongside acclaimed mountaineer Tim Macartney-Snape. Tim's 16-day challenging trek through the remoter regions of the Khumbu Valley offers a mix of wilderness camping and comfortable lodges. Like all other adventures of this series, the expedition will culminate in the adventure travel event for 2025, our special 50th-anniversary banquet where you can rub shoulders with even more renowned adventurers from around the world.

Another great option is to join fellow women's adventurous spirits for a perfect 14-day introduction to the Everest region. World Expeditions Women's Adventures – 50th Anniversary trek with Sherry Ott promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Led by an exceptional female local guide, you'll gain a unique insight into Nepali women's lifestyle.

Sue Badyari, World Expeditions CEO, comments, “The excitement is palpable as our team across the globe commences the one-year countdown to our 50th anniversary celebration on September 24, 2025. To celebrate 50 years of setting the benchmark for adventure travel in a setting that is quite literally on top of the world is incredibly humbling. We are all looking forward to commemorating the occasion and sharing it with the inspiring adventurers who have been instrumental in World Expeditions' success.”

World Expeditions' 50th Anniversary event is a nod to its unique place as one of the first companies in the adventure travel industry worldwide, with five decades of pioneering BIG adventures with a small footprint. The banquet dinner will be a sumptuous, three-course affair held in the spiritual heart of the Khumbu Valley, Thyangboche, where the company's legacy of pioneering exceptional expedition-style adventures will be toasted.

Bookings are now open for the nine specially curated 50th anniversary treks in 2025.
