The driving force behind EverTrek is the desire to help as many people as possible achieve their goals and life-long dreams, whether that’s to stand at the foot of the mighty Everest, atop the summit of Kilimanjaro or both & more!
We believe that everyone should be able to experience the awesome sense of achievement as they embrace challenging treks and experience amazing destinations & cultures around the world.
One of the ways in which we do this is our much-celebrated competitions.
Our EverTrek competitions give you the opportunity to follow the footsteps of renowned explorers like Sir Edmund Hillary or George Mallory and go on a trek for FREE.
Some of you may be thinking that it’s too good to be true, in fact the most frequent of questions is “is this for real?!”
YES, it’s completely true and we have numerous previous winners who will vouch, with much enthusiasm and elated-shock, that it’s an incredible prize to win!
Other than the validity of this amazing opportunity, we’re often asked a number of other questions about the competition and so we’ve put together this list of ‘Competition FAQs’:
EverTrek Competition FAQs
What exactly am I winning?
The winner will win a full 15 day Everest Base Camp trek for both them and a person of their choosing. You can find full details of the trip on our website HERE.

When does the competition end?
The competition closes on the 16th of November 2021 and the winner will be announced Live on our Facebook Page at [12:30]GMT.
What is Viral Loops?
If you’ve followed the link to register for a competition, you may have taken a second glance at the link and thought “What is Viral Loops?”. This is the software that we use to track your entries, it’s not harmful and has nothing to do with viruses! This software allows us to keep track of both who has entered and the number of times they’ve shared the link. This is important as each share generates an additional entry, meaning the more you share - the more times your name could come up in the draw.
Why does the counter that tracks entries not increase with shares?
This is a frequent question, as it appears to go against what we just said eh? Don’t worry - the counter that you will see on the Viral Loops page following registration tracks the number of people who sign up using the link that you’ve shared. This again counts towards your entries. Although it’s not displayed on your screen, we do track the number of shares in total at the ‘back end’.
What date is the free trek?
It’s completely up to you! You get to pick your preferred available date just the same as you would if you were booking a trip normally. Should your name be announced we will be in touch to talk about the next steps which involve you checking out the available dates on our website, and letting us know which one you would like to go on.
You can view the available dates for this trip on our website.

Are flights included?
Our packages cover everything you could need on the trek itself, from airport transfers, accommodation, meals & filtered water, expert guides, and more - it's a long list! You can find the full details on the trek page - scroll to the bottom beneath available dates to find more information.
We don't include international flights in any of our trekking packages as we find that it's a benefit to trekkers to be able to arrange their own flights that suit them. (This is due to many factors from flight costs being cheaper by booking direct with an airline rather than package deal prices, to having the flexibility of being able to choose your own arrival/departure dates if you want to spend longer in the country.) This means that the free trek you can win in our competition won't include flights, but as soon as you land at the airport our friendly team will be there to welcome you to Tanzania & take you to your hotel. The Yetis at EverTrek are always on hand to help with your trek preparations, so when it comes to booking flights we are here to help with any queries you may have - from average costs, to dates & times, no question is too small!
Can other friends book on to the same trip?
The prize is for you and one other to go on a trip for free, but that doesn’t mean that others aren’t welcome! As long as there is space in the group, you can invite as many people to join you as you like. Others won’t be as lucky to go free of charge, but to prevent them for being too jealous, they’re welcome to benefit from using a ‘runner up prize’ - meaning a discount on their booking.
If I don't have Facebook will I still be notified?
We always announce the winner live on Facebook, but if you’re not able to tune in or do not use social media, that’s no problem. We also contact our winners directly through email and phone, if provided, so make sure your details are correct when you register.
Are there runner up prizes?
For the winner of the draw, having their name announced and being the winner of a free trip is an awesome feeling! However, there is only one winner, well, two if you include the friend, so we realise that this means that it might not be you. To avoid too much disappointment, there are runner up prizes available, so should your name not be drawn do check your emails following the prize draw. Info on these prizes are emailed to all runner ups, so again, make sure your details are correct when you register.
Can I use a runner up prize on a trip I've already booked?
If you've received a discount code you are welcome to use it on a new booking for any of our trips of a value over £1600. You are not able to use it on a trip that you have previously booked with us, but we would love to see you on another trip!
Are you excited yet?
If you haven’t already registered to be in with the chance of winning this awesome prize, do it now! You and a friend could be standing at the foot of Mt. Everest in 2022, 2023 or 2024, on an incredible trip worth £3400! Click here to enter!
Don't forget - every time you share your link on social media or by email, an additional entry is entered into the draw - so tag your mates and get sharing!
Good luck!
