EXPEDITION

"We have seen a whole mountain range, little by little, the lesser to the greater until, incredibly higher in the sky then imagination had ventured to dream, the top of Everest itself appeared." George Mallory, 1920's British climber.

Eight of the ten highest mountain peaks of this planet crown the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. The exhilaration of scaling one of them, or any of the lesser mountain tops, draws skilled mountaineers to Nepal's summits every year during the climbing seasons: March-May, June-August, September-November, and December-February. There are one-hundred-fifty-three peaks in Nepal open for mountaineering> They range in height from Mardi peak at 5587 meters( 18,325 feet) all the way to Mt. Everest, the highest point on the globe at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet)> GFAS experts can make arrangements for all levels of expeditions in Nepal and Tibet. With consulting services of one highly respected Sherpa, three-time summiteers of Everest, Mr. Pertemba Sherpa, GFAS is ready to organize your dream peak expedition. This talented expedition leader has experienced three distinct routes up the famed mountain.

"...the mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand on their summits.", Sir Francis Younghusband, early 20th century British explorer and diplomat.
