Namaste from Nepal! The "Annapurchata" group has completed the active part of the trekking program to the Annapurna base camp. Today we arrived in Pokhara, tomorrow we are flying to Kathmandu - the final point of our route.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Kotlyar sends from Nepal: 

Hello everyone from Everest Base Camp! Today was a day full of a variety of emotions)) At 4 am, our trekking group set out to climb Kala Patthar Peak. For many participants, this was their first mountain experience, and not everyone found the climb easy, but we did it! At 7 am, our entire team was standing at the summit!

 We descended to Gorakshep, had breakfast, and headed towards Everest Base Camp — the final point of our program. Today, we reunited with the climbing team, and we missed each other during the day!

 All participants, without exception, were shocked by the conditions and service we provide here! Alex Abramov and Viktor Volodin rode into the camp on horses, it was epic! Lena Abramova greeted us with champagne and snacks, and for lunch there was delicious borscht!

In the evening, our trekkers were awarded, we watched films on the plasma, sang songs with a guitar. It was very soulful! Tomorrow we return to Kathmandu.

The personnel of the 2025 Everest expedition arrived at Everest Base Camp. The 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club teams ascended there today, led by their leaders Alex Abramov and Viktor Volodin. A ceremonial welcome with champagne was arranged, and then borscht was served for lunch! All the new arrivals were delighted with the level of comfort in the camp!

April 24, Dhaulagiri. Namaste from Nepal to everyone from the "Dhaulagiri Lovers Club" group! We are finally home! That is, at the Dhaulagiri Base Camp (BC). Behind us are 5 days of intense trekking with two passes above 5200 and an ascent on a peak at 5800 m. We spent three of the four nights at 5000. We hope this will replace one rotation on the slopes of Dhaulagiri. The trek, by the way, is very wild. We met almost no people, there is no infrastructure. We spent the last night in a picturesque place by the river. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Reminds me of Tibet.

Today we overcame the highest pass on our way - French Pass. And by lunchtime we entered the camp, where our favorite chef Dendy and his team warmly greeted us. A scarf on the neck, an aperitif, chicken water soup, onions and garlic. Everything as we like.
Now we will rest in the camp at 4700 for the next 2-3 days. We will arrange a bathhouse and a big wash.
Head of the expedition to Dhaulagiri Lyudmila Korobeshko.

Today, the Everest-25 team spent a rest day in the village of Lobuche. At an altitude of 4900 m. We walked 5000 meters to the Pyramid Hotel. Tomorrow we go to Everest Base Camp, where, according to the camp manager Lena Abramova, everything is 100% ready.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Kotlyar sends messages from Nepal:

Greetings to everyone from the team of trekkers going to the Everest Base Camp! Our morning began with the fact that we celebrated the birthday of Dementiy - one of the members of our team! We baked a real big cake!

Today, our huge team split up. Two groups of Everest climbers stayed for one more night in Lobuche for better acclimatization. And we went higher - to the place of Gorakshep, at an altitude of 5100. The views today were just crazy! Nuptse in all its glory! We saw our Everest base camp from afar, where we will be tomorrow!

We have already checked into the lodge. After lunch we want to take a short walk, and early in the morning we will set out to climb Kala Patthar.

The group's guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club "Annapurchata" group, after spending the night at the Annapurna base camp, set off on the return trip to Pokhara. Today we walked more than 15 km, and lost almost 2 km vertically. The day was full of colors: from the majestic Himalayan peaks to the bamboo forest. Tomorrow is another transition through the subtropical forest.

Hello to everyone from Nepal from the team of trekkers and climbers on Everest! Today we made the transition from Dingboche to Lobuche, gaining another 600 m in altitude. The weather was wonderful all day, the highest mountains of the planet are visible in all their glory!

We had lunch in the town of Tukla, then walked to the memorial dedicated to the climbers who died in the Himalayas. At 4900, of course, it is much cooler and you can feel the altitude, but Dr. Ovchinnikov is with us, who will heal and cure everyone!

Tomorrow our huge friendly team will split up. Trekkers will go to Gorakshep and will go to climb Kala Pattar, and climbers will spend a day of rest in Lobuche.
See you at Everest Base Camp on April 24!

April 22, Dhaulagiri. Namaste to everyone from Nepal from the "Dhaulagiri Lovers Club" group! The first night at an altitude of 5000 went well. Today we got up at 4 am, at 5 we set out to climb. We walked along steep scree and snowy slopes. The views were stunning: on one side Tukuche and Dhaulagiri, on the other - Nilgiri and Annapurna.

By 10 am we climbed the peak of Dhampus small (5800 m). We took pictures and quickly ran down. And just in time. After lunch the weather suddenly deteriorated - it started snowing with rain. Now we are already in tents. Resting. Of course, everyone is tired, but healthy and feeling good. The day after tomorrow we plan to be home (that is, at Dhaulagiri Base Camp).
Head of the Dhaulagiri expedition Lyudmila Korobeshko.

The group's  guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:
Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club "Annapurchata" group is at the foot of Annapurna, in the base camp. Early in the morning we went for a photo shoot. The beauty and power of the Himalayan giants are impressive. Then our path goes back to Pokhara.

Greetings to everyone from Nepal from the Everest trekkers and climbers team! Another beautiful day of our adult pioneer camp is coming to an end. Today we crossed over to the village of Dingboche, gaining 600 meters in altitude. All day long we were accompanied by simply unreal views of the pearl of the Himalayas - the beautiful Ama Dablam, and now it can be seen from the windows of our lodge.

We decided that we definitely needed a team song and gave the doctor a party task - to write the lyrics. As it turned out, there are a lot of creative people in our team! In the evening we will learn the lyrics.

April 21. Club 8000 Expedition to Dhaulagiri. Namaste from Nepal to everyone from the Dhaulagiri Lovers Club group! The first night at 4100 was calm. It was warm and windless. At 7 in the morning we had tea and at 8 in the morning we went further. In 6 hours we reached the assault camp of Dhampus Peak, located at an altitude of 5000. We gained almost 1000 meters vertically. On the way, our mountain Dhaulagiri opened up to us in all its glory! We managed to take pictures against its background. Snowy slopes had already begun. Having arrived at the camp, we had lunch and decided to rest a little. Tomorrow we will have an early rise and go out to assault Dhampus Peak (6012 m). Everyone feels well, despite the rather sharp gain in altitude. The weather is also pleasing so far.Head of the Dhaulagiri expedition Lyudmila Korobeshko.

The group's guide Andrey Berezina reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club "Annapurchata" group is on the road again! Today we walked through a bamboo forest almost the entire day. And today was also the first sunny day of our trek. We are enjoying the sun.

Hello to everyone from the team of trekkers and climbers on Everest! Yesterday we had a rest day in Namche, which we spent doing Easter chores! Our team includes a pastry chef, Natalia, and she volunteered to bake Easter cake for us, here, at an altitude of 3400! It turned out to be quite a quest. We were given a separate kitchen, while the Easter cake was being baked, the rest of the team members were also busy - they painted eggs and sang a song with a guitar. It was very fun and soulful!

The Easter cake will turn out very tasty and of course it was in the shape of the main peak of the planet! In the morning we congratulated each other on the holiday and set out on the route. Today's Namche - Dibuche trek is one of the most beautiful on the program. We saw Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam for the first time. There is still a lot of greenery here, but the mountains are already very clearly visible! On the way we stopped by the Tengboche monastery.

Now we have already checked into our cozy Rivendell lodge and are getting ready for dinner. Alex Abramov, Victor Volodin and Sveta Kotlyar.

April 20. Expedition to Dhaulagiri. Namaste to everyone from Nepal from the Dhaulagiri Lovers Club group! This morning we left Marfa early in the morning towards Dhaulagiri Base Camp. According to the plan, the trek should take 4-5 days. We walked for almost 6 hours to the first camp and gained 1400 vertical meters. The path passed by coniferous forests and juniper thickets against the backdrop of the most beautiful peaks of the Nilgiri massif. By lunchtime, we arrived at the camp at an altitude of 4100. We had a festive picnic in honor of Easter with supplies that we brought from our homeland. Tomorrow, according to the plan, we are going to 5000 and the day after tomorrow we will try to climb the six-thousander Dhampus Peak. We are doing well. The weather is great.

Namaste to everyone from Nepal! News from the Te and Yeti groups. Our team is finishing its fun adventure. Today we reached Lukla. And yesterday we were in Namche Bazaar and saw our team off to Everest. It's already spring below - we're warming up. Tomorrow - flight to Kathmandu. All the best!

April 19. Dhaulagiri expedition news. Namaste from Nepal to everyone from the Dhaulagiri Lovers Club group! Our team went on an acclimatization hike today - climbed 550 meters above the Marfa settlement, saw Jomson and a piece of the Mustang kingdom. On the way back, we walked along the colorful streets of Marfa, filled with the spirit of Tibet.

And in the evening we had an oil painting "Masons invent meldonium." We boiled and painted eggs in the field. Tomorrow we are heading on a hike towards the Dhaulagiri Base Camp. There will be no connection for 4-5 days. Don't worry! We will send voice messages to the answering machine. (If we catch the satellites!) Dhaulagiri expedition leader Lyudmila Korobeshko.

Alexander Abramov: Today we visited the helipad, the Tenzing Norgay monument, the Everest museum and the monastery. Preparing for Easter. Painting eggs.

Hello to everyone from the team of Everest trekkers and climbers! Yesterday we made the trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar, a small village at an altitude of 3400. We slowly gained 700 meters in altitude. This part of the route to the Everest base camp is one of the most beautiful. Mountain rivers, air filled with the scent of pine trees, blooming rhododendrons, suspension bridges - incredible beauty!

In the evening, we checked into our cozy lodge. After dinner, the doctor checked the saturation of all participants. And in the evening, as is tradition, we captured a rock bar, played billiards, danced, sang songs with a guitar, listened to Russian music and watched films from our film studio.
