Summits & Basecamps: Journeys to the World’s Highest Places

The Himalayas are home to the planet’s most iconic mountains — Everest, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, and countless untamed peaks. For centuries, they have called out to explorers, trekkers, and climbers seeking to test themselves in the world’s highest landscapes. At Summit Routes, our Summits & Basecamps journeys are crafted for adventurers who dream of standing at the foot of these giants — or climbing to their summits.

Why Choose a Summit or Basecamp Journey?

Unlike shorter treks, these routes take you deep into the heart of the high Himalaya, often above 5,000 meters. Every step is a mix of physical challenge and pure wonder — glaciers, towering ice walls, ancient trade routes, and the warm resilience of mountain cultures.

These journeys aren’t only about reaching a destination. They’re about experiencing the raw power of the mountains while walking paths shaped by climbers, yak caravans, and nomadic herders for centuries.
