Mission accomplished! Pierre Farrugia and fellow Maltese hikers conquer Everest Base Camp
A truly inspirational journey!

Francesca Vella

Local adventurer and vlogger Pierre Farrugia, known for capturing Malta’s scenic trails, has just completed his most daring expedition yet trekking to Everest Base Camp!

Teaming up with a group of fellow Maltese hikers, Pierre made the gruelling journey to 5,364 metres above sea level, battling exhaustion, illness, and extreme conditions along the way.

Sharing his triumph, Pierre wrote: 'Mission accomplished! EBC round trip done. It wasn’t easy  I was sick, tired, and exhausted  but with the help of Mexventures Trekking & Expeditions, Ryan, the guides, and my incredible teammates, I did it… we did it!'

A true testament to resilience and determination  well done Pierre! 

Huge congratulations to the whole team!
