Mt. Everest and the main peaks of the Khumbu
without going to extreme altitudes. Starting
with a flight to Lukla air stripe trek in to
Namche Bazaar, the principle town of the
area and the Sherpa 'capital.' After a day
of acclimatization we explore the
traditional Sherpa villages of Kunde and
Khumjung set amongst incredible mountain
scenery. We then trek to Thyangboche - the
site of Nepal's most sacred Buddhist
monastery. The views from this ridge above
the Dudh Kosi river is possibly the most
beautiful with Mt. Everest looming over the
Lhotse Ridge and Ama Dablam towering above
the monastery. We continue to Pangboche, the
treks highest point, and then by way of,
seldom visited, Phortse we swing back to
Namche and Lukla to end the trek with a
flight back to Kathmandu. This trek offers
more of everything packed into 10 eventful
days - more mountain views, more culture,
more nature, more hospitality, more
surprises, more, more. The trek is combined
with the two days Chitwan wildlife reserve,
known for One Horned Rhino, Bengal Tiger,
Sloth Beer, wild boar, barking deer and over
300 species of birds.
