"We are here now doing sound checks. We are really looking forward to the show tomorrow. Everyone is really excited here," Oakenfold told AFP.

This particular journey is only one part of Oakenfold's SoundTrek series, a project he designed to draw attention to the effects of global warming, while also raising money for various charities, such as aiding the survivors of Nepal's 2015 earthquake.
"I want to support in the rebuilding and to shed light on the environment ... I would like to do my bit," the DJ said.
Despite aspiring to change the DJ game and using the adventure to raise funds, not everybody approves of Oakenfold's journey. According to AFP, some feel he is disturbing the peace and tranquility of the Himalayas.
In an interview below, the DJ explains why he decided to embark on a 10-day walk to Everest with a trusty team of yaks and porters to make music history.
Oakenfold feels Everest will be a refreshing break from the monotony of playing his same old gigs and festivals.
"Everest opens new doors that are exciting for all of us. That's what really inspires me, because it allows me to keep growing as a person," he explained.

Though he's seasoned artist, Oakenfold has had no prior trekking experience. To prepare for the journey, he reportedly trained for four months before arriving in Nepal.
"I'm not going to pretend it was easy to get here ... but it has been a wonderful trek. If you could see the view I'm looking at, it is very inspiring," he said.
