We are proud to partner with the Australian Himalayan Foundation to help bring more smiles to the people who call the Himalayas home by donating on behalf of everyone who books an Everest Base Camp trek with Best Life Adventures. Helping these communities live their ‘Best Life’ is a small, sustainable way we can give back.

Friday, May 29th 2020 is “Himalaya Day” – the anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s first summit of Mt Everest in 1953, 67 years ago. So we will be joining our friends (virtually) from the Australian Himalayan Foundation for their Himalaya Day Dinner at home.

Our love affair with the Himalayas goes way back…The Himalayas are in the background of these photos taken when we drove through Pakistan in 2015. When we heard about this curry night event we reached out to our friend from Pakistan for curry recipe inspiration.

We’re all set for our curry cook up and thought we would share the recipe with you as inspiration to join in!
