Run for the Planet. Grow a Legacy.
Nepal’s majestic Himalayas are under threat from glacial retreat, biodiversity loss, and the escalating impact of climate change. But hope grows one tree at a time.
Since 2022, the team behind the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon has planted thousands of Rhododendron Barbatum trees across the Everest region. These beautiful, high-altitude natives don’t just bloom, they protect soil, stabilize the ecosystem, shelter endangered wildlife like the Musk Deer, and help combat global warming by capturing carbon.
We’re setting a bold goal: To Plant 100,000 Rhododendrons for Everest.

Why It Matters
Each tree we plant:
• 🌍 Combats Climate Change by capturing CO₂
• 🦌 Restores Wildlife Habitat for rare Himalayan species
• 🌸 Preserves Everest’s Ecosystem from erosion and glacial risks
• 👣 Empowers Local Communities through eco-tourism and stewardship
From Tengboche to Khumjung, from Namche to Sagarmatha National Park, this initiative is already thriving. With your help, we can accelerate the momentum.
