“2003 was a tremendously exciting year for me with the 50-year anniversary of my 1953 summit of Mount Everest with Tenzing Norgay. The 29th of May heralded celebrations all over the world, including the banquet tent at Thyangboche where 150 enlivened World Expeditions trekkers gathered for one of Nepal’s largest mountain dinner parties. The event helped to raise a substantial donation for the Himalayan Trust – funds that are so vital in continuing the work that the trust invests in schools and medical facilities for the Sherpa people of the Everest region. I am so grateful to World Expeditions and its participants, for the continued efforts, contributions and support of the Trust over the years.” – the late Sir Edmund Hillary

"Right from the early days World Expeditions has been a strong supporter of The Fred Hollows Foundation. World Expeditions’ staff and clients have shown real enthusiasm and a willingness to help us achieve our vision of a world where no one is needlessly blind. There is no better example of this than the See the World Challenge, which offered individuals and organisations the chance to raise money for The Foundation and be rewarded with an adventure trip of a lifetime to Nepal, Vietnam and Cambodia and the Northern Territory. As part of the trip participants got to visit one of our programs to see how the money they raised is making a difference. World Expeditions’ commitment to this program was second to none – it was just outstanding!” – Gabi Hollows

"Paddy Pallin has worked closely with World Expeditions for many years. One reason that we have partnered with this business is the consistently high ethics and respect that WE have always paid to the environment and people of every country that they operate in. World Expeditions, also works to improve the knowledge and understanding of all the clients that travel with them. Many trips can include an element of giving back to the country that you are visiting, in my case a day spent fixing and painting a school house in Nepal. This was a small effort on our part, however greatly appreciated and a great way of stepping beyond just being a tourist, into becoming friends with the people and being a part of the community." - Tim Pallin
