This 12-day of trip offers
excellent views of 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.
Moderate to difficult trekking and lodging from
2,805m to 3,985m with possible optional hikes up
to 4,500m. Accommodation in comfortable lodges
run by Sherpa families. The trek starts with a
flight from Kathmandu, clients carry a light
day-pack only and walk at their own pace. |
