1:00 p.m. -  Trek Toward the Top of the World: Everest Base Camp (geared for adults)
Join us for an immersive experience! Hoedl will transport us to the Himalayas with photos and videos he took along the way.

From Kathmandu to Lukla, we're in for a journey as Hoedl takes us along the historic trail every climber of Everest has undertaken leading to the legendary Everest Base Camp.
