Everest Basecamp

Research Funding: Health Care Equity

Fighting gynecologic cancer is harder than climbing Mount Everest.

The world’s tallest mountain stands at 29,029 feet, a monumental journey, but every step we take up the mountain brings us closer to the top.

The Any Mountain Project is committed to summiting the toughest challenges in gynecologic cancer through creativity and research.

Join the Climb

Funds raised by participants will go directly to gynecologic cancer research awareness efforts.

What to Expect

Any Mountain Everest 2027 is a 2 week trek on the Goyko route led by professional American and Nepalese mountain guides.

Everest Basecamp Gokyo Lakes Trek via Chola Pass is an exciting trek to Everest Basecamp that takes us via Namche Bazaar and then up to the sacred lakes in the stunning Gokyo Valley. Here, we climb Gokyo Ri, one of the finest viewpoints for a panoramic view of Mount Everest (8848m) and surrounding mountains, including 8000 meters mountains Cho Oyu and Makalu. The journey to base camp continues as we cross into the Khumbu Valley through Cho La (5420m) and ultimately ascending Kala Patar (5550m) for incredible views of Everest and the astonishing Khumbu Icefall. Climbers will have the option of continuing on to Climb Lobuche, one of the 6000m peaks in the Khumbu Valley.

Accomodations throughout this trek are in double occupancy tea houses. Meals and drinks are included. Personal gear and snacks will be the responsibility of the participant. Any Mountain leadership will provide training guidelines and detailed gear lists in preparation for our adventure.

Cost: $15,000.
