CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
Through Project Base8000, we hope to inspire you to go trekking, get out into the mountains or even to create your own adventure project.
Try Something New
Try something or go somewhere new. Challenge yourself and see what you’re capable of! You could even create your own adventure project like we did. Adventures can be life-changing experiences, especially in the outdoors.
Explore the Real World
People choose to go trekking for many different reasons. For some, it's about celebrating a milestone birthday or ticking off a bucket-list adventure. For others, it's a chance to escape the pace of everyday life, reconnect with nature, discover new cultures or simply see what they're capable of.
For us, it became something much bigger than reaching mountain base camps. Trekking gave us purpose, lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences and a fresh perspective on life.
Adventure doesn't begin when you arrive at the trailhead. It starts with the first spark of an idea, grows through the planning and preparation, comes alive in the mountains, and stays with you long after you return home.
Starting out as two adventurous trekkers from Sydney, Australia, we're just ordinary people who dared to take on an extraordinary challenge. We hope our journey inspires people of all ages to step away from their screens, explore the real world and discover where adventure might take them.
Push Your Boundaries
We’ve learnt through experience that trekking is 80% mental and 20% physical. That goes for many other types of challenges too. Building mental toughness provides the resilience to deal with adversity – not just in expeditions but also in life.
Trekking expeditions give people the opportunity to push their boundaries and see what they’re capable of. Digging deep to find the courage to face a challenge can result in rewarding experiences, new insights and self-discovery.
Adventures allow you to grow and the mountains always have something to teach you, as well as kicking you in the butt when you least expect it!
Your Adventure Starts Here
Every adventure begins with a single decision - to say yes.
Whether that's your first overnight hike, a trek to Everest Base Camp or a long-term adventure project of your own, you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. The most important step is simply getting started.
Wherever you're starting from, we hope our experiences, practical guides and stories inspire you to take the first step towards your own adventure.
