Explore Himalaya had an opportunity to organize a high profile aviation event over the Everest. The project named GKN Everest Mission teamed up with the explorer Bear Grylls (host of the popular adventure series “Man Vs Wild” on Discovery Channel) for a breathtaking Himalayan adventure: to fly a powered paraglider higher than Mount Everest. This daring feat, successfully completed on 14 May 2007 acted as the focal point of a global challenge for GKN employees to help raise an extra $1 million for charity.
