Alexander Dorojukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the Iskra group walking around Annapurna! Our main part was completed successfully today. All participants reached both Lake Tilicho and the Torong Pass.

We went down to the village of Muktinath. Here we finally got to the connection, which had not been there for two days and, of course, to a warm shower. The whole band is in a great mood and are impressed by such a beautiful trek.

Alexander Dorozhukov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the Iskra group going trekking around Annapurna. For two days we had no communication at all. We successfully went to Lake Tilicho. As always, we were accompanied by the most beautiful views.  Part of our funny group finished their adventures and flew by helicopter to Kathmandu. The rest of the team continues our wonderful trek.

Alexander Dorojukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

 Greetings to all from the Iskra group going trekking around Annapurna! Our cheerful team reached the village of Manang.  In the morning, Annapurna's face smiled at us and accompanied us throughout the day. The weather pleases us, beautiful landscapes, forests, rivers and sand pillars. In general, everything is fine with us! Let's move on…

Alexander Dorojukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the Iskra group of the 7 Summits Club going on a trekking “Around Annapurna”! Our team went on the route today.  The first day took us through beautiful forests, hills and rivers. With jokes, songs, and of course, with lunch, we reached the Pisang village. Tomorrow it will be a little harder, but we keep us cheerful.

Alexander Dorojukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the Iskra group going trekking around Annapurna! Today we had a day on wheels, we moved in jeeps at the beginning of the route. Along the way, we had wonderful views: waterfalls, flowering plants, and in general, beautiful mountains.

Alexander Dorojukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Greetings to all from Nepal, from the group walking around Annapurna! Yesterday, all the participants gathered in Kathmandu. We met, walked around the city, changed money. Then everything will be according to the program…

At the end of March, work begins on the installation of base camps on Everest, processing the route of ascent. The Icefall Doctors have already arrived at the base camp and started work. The team of Sherpas of the 7 Summits Club, led by our permanent sirdar Mingma Gelu, gathered in Kathmandu before leaving for Lukla, which is scheduled for March 25. The shipment of goods is being completed, but there is still a lot of work to be done in the preparatory period. And from the photos it is felt that our Nepalese friends, our partners, are looking forward to the start of the expedition with great impatience.

The decisive stage of the preparation of the Everest-22 expedition has begun. Alexander Abramov is flying to Nepal to prepare it. Now the 7 Summits Club's team has 17 participants, 4 guides and 20 high-altitude Sherpa porters. Not counting the same number of Nepalese who will work below, ensuring the life of the expedition. All this must be arranged in advance: equipment, oxygen, a team of Sherpas, permits...  This week in Kathmandu is allocated for the preparation of the expedition. In addition to the classic ascent of Mount Everest, this year there will be a team that will go up to 7000m with the passage of the Khumbu icefall. Also, in the spring season more than 10 trekking groups of the 7 Summits Club will storm the Base Camp and the surrounding mountains above 6000m.

As we promised, since January 1, there has been an increase in prices for the Everest expedition programs of the 7 Summits Club.  The main part of the participants has already been formed and is now preparing for a serious ascent. But we are waiting for new bookings. For those who doubt, let's say - it's better not to postpone! There is an opportunity – you need to use it! No one gives guarantees for the day after tomorrow. Only for tomorrow…

 Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the team "without Olivier"! Max Shakirov is in touch! We're spending the night in Deboche tonight. Part of the team is already in Lukla, they are waiting for tomorrow's departure to Kathmandu - they have an early flight to Moscow. The full results of our track are as follows.  Nikita and Sergey, who initially decided to go only to Kala Patthar, found the strength to walk to the Everest base camp as well.  Anna was able to put on a dress in a decent "minus" and the wind and appear before Everest in all its glory. Mikhail brought and photographed in the EBC with the flag "re:Store”. Valery Tebiev showed his son Alexander the Peak he climbed a few years ago from the closest possible distance. Alina and Yulia fulfilled their New Year's wish. Everyone is happy and satisfied and is already planning their future trips with the 7 Summits Club.

 Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Greetings to all from the team "Without Olivier"! Max Shakirov is in touch. Today our team reached the top point of our trek - the Everest base camp. And two of our team were able to climb Kala Patthar before that. The views were beautiful, but it was cold. Details later, but for now only one "final" photo.

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Greetings from Lobuche, from the team "Without Olivier"! Max Shakirov is in touch. As yesterday and the day before yesterday, in excellent weather, we reached the highest overnight stay of our trek. Tomorrow we go to the Everest base camp and return back to Lobuche. The mood and conditions of all of us is fire!

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Greetings and congratulations on the New Year from Dingboche from the team "Without Olivier"! Max Shakirov is in touch. On December 31, in the evening, we reached Deboche, admiring on the way to Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. The weather and hundreds of photos taken on the way made the mood of our New Year's party. Having opened a bottle of champagne brought from Moscow, we amicably celebrated the New Year in Magadan time. True, without olivier salad, but for that with jamon and sausage.

January 1st. The weather did not cease to please us and all the way from Deboche to Dingboche we stopped every now and then to capture the splendor surrounding us.

Tomorrow we leave for Lobuche. And we hope for the continuation of the weather extravaganza!

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:  Greetings to all from the team of the 7 Summits Club from Namche! Max Shakirov is in touch. Half a meter of snow fell here last night, the beauty is indescribable. Weather disasters have made changes to the schedule of our progress to the goal. Now we have to go up without stopping to rest. We will celebrate the New Year in Deboche. Our team wishes everyone a Happy New Year and wishes each of you health, love and beautiful ascents!

Maxim Shakirov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Hello to everyone from Phakding! Max Shakirov is in touch! Today we still managed to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla and make the transition to the place of the first overnight stay. We walked a little more than two hours to Phakding. With a good mood and appetite, we came to the cozy "Sherpa Guide Lodge", had a delicious dinner and went to bed. Tomorrow will be a difficult trek to Namche.  The mood and conditions in the team are excellent!!!

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Hello everyone from Kathmandu!  It's nice to see this city filled with people, cars and scooters again! We have been trying to fly to Lukla for the second day to launch to our goal - the Everest base camp. But for now – there is non-flying weather… We believe that we will succeed in the near future. The mood and well-being of the participants is fire. We are looking forward to meeting the big mountains!

Viktor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club group: Hello everyone!  We got to Kathmandu.  We are eating, sleeping off, tomorrow we will try to fly home. The dream is fulfilled, we are happy! Thank you all so much for worrying about us!

Victor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Dear friends, yesterday, 15.11, the mountaineer's dream came true. We climbed the beautiful  Mount Ama-Dablam! Thanks to everyone who supported us!

A completely new idea from Alexander Abramov! Not just to go through the most important world trekking to the foot of Mount Everest, but also to feel like a full-fledged participant in a climbing expedition. Not just to spend the nights at the base camp, but also to climb along with other mountaineers the famous Khumbu icefall. By the way, the transfer of the route to the right side of the icefall made it much safer. However, impressions and adrenaline there will be enough for the most demanding participant!
