Incredible Adventures Extreme Event
World's Highest Gig 2012
In 2005, Music4children
broke the world record for the "The Highest Gig" at Kalapattar,
Mt Everest, and raised enough money to build an orphanage for
the children of Nepal.
Their record setting performance at 5545 meters
(18,190 feet) has since been topped by another group, so they're
heading back to Nepal this spring to reclaim their place in the
record books and raise additional money for the orphanage.
You can join them, either as a musician or an audience
member. Either way, it's sure to be an event you'll remember
forever.
This time, the World's Highest Gig is planned for
Mera Peak in Nepal and an altitude of 6476 meters (21,240 feet).
Mera Peak is the highest of the "trekking peaks" in Nepal. Performers
and audience members need not be super fit or experienced mountain
climbers. The trek will follow "the easy route" up Mera and includes
extra time to acclimatize to altitude.
3 Ways to Join this Historic Expedition
Incredible Adventures is proud to be teaming with Music4children
and Adventure First Nepal to offer three separate participation
options, ranging in duration from 11 to 24 days and in price from
$6900 - $28000.
If you can't join the group from start to finish, you can shorten
the trip by skipping the trek down and flying back by helicopter.
If time is even shorter, you can skip the Highest Gig on Mera
and meet up with the group on their return. On the way back
down, they'll be stopping in Lukla to perform at a monastery and
street festival.
