Get ready for the adventure travel event of a lifetime! In 2025, we’re celebrating a monumental milestone—our 50th anniversary—with an exclusive series of treks through Nepal’s legendary Everest region.

Back in 1975, we were the first to bring adventure travel to Australians, and now, half a century later, we invite trekkers from around the globe to join us for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Our 50th Anniversary Treks, ranging from 13 to 30 days, will culminate in an unforgettable black-tie banquet at the foot of Everest on September 24, 2025.

Picture a lavish three-course dinner in the spiritual heart of the Khumbu Valley, Thyangboche, surrounded by towering peaks and like-minded adventurers. This is more than a celebration—it’s a return to the essence of adventure travel, honouring five decades of exploring the world's most awe-inspiring landscapes.

Choose from a variety of treks, from the 13-day Everest Anniversary trek—perfect for first-timers seeking stunning views of Everest, Ama Dablam, and Lhotse—to the challenging 16-day trek with Australia's legendary mountaineer, Tim Macartney-Snape, one of the first Australian’s to summit Everest without supplementary oxygen. All treks converge at Thyangboche for the grand celebration. 

Experience the best of the Everest region with stays at our exclusive Eco-Comfort Camps and eco-lodges, accompanied by expert local guides and gourmet meals prepared by our highly trained cooks. And the banquet? A gathering of high-profile adventurers and mountaineers sharing stories and toasting to 50 years of World Expeditions’ pioneering spirit in adventure travel.

 

“The excitement is palpable as our global team begins the one-year countdown to our 50th anniversary celebration on September 24, 2025,” says CEO Sue Badyari. “Commemorating 50 years of pioneering adventure travel in such an extraordinary setting is incredibly humbling, and we can’t wait to share this moment with the inspiring adventurers who have been a part of our journey.”

Join us for the adventure travel event of 2025, where history, adventure, and the breathtaking backdrop of Everest come together for a truly epic celebration!
