A classic trek that takes you through the heart of Sherpa country right to the foothills of the
mighty Mt. Everest..with trails that lead to splendid wonders, serene monasteries&majestic landscapes..

Everest trek where you find Sherpa culture, and chances
to click some of the best pictures in the world. The adventure also
takes you through challenging terrain that includes glacial moraines
and a steep climb up Kala Patthar where the adrenalin really goes into
overdrive. As you hike up to EBC, expect some 3-4 hours hiking every
day of the trip, but be prepared for some longer days on the return
journey. A reasonable level of fitness is required. After exploring
historical Kathmandu, we take a short flight to the hillside village of
Lukla (2800m). As we move through the splendid mix and eye-catching
vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park, we trek to the Sherpa 'capital'
of Namche Bazaar. This is an interesting, bustling and friendly town
where amazingly, even at such an altitude, almost everything under the
skies can be found here. Namche was formerly a trading post between
Nepal and Tibet.

We
allow a day's acclimatization hereabouts and then move on to the
beautiful Thyangboche Monastery. At this peaceful landmark, we find
ourselves amongst the Mani walls, prayer flags and chortens&soon
realize we are in the shadows of the magnificent Everest massif and Ama
Dablam, where the views are breathtakingly dumbfounding.

The
trek from Thyangboche ascends slowly but steadily to Dingboche, Lobuche
and finally Gorek Shep, advancing above the tree line into more rugged
and moonscape-like surroundings. Gorek Shep, at 5100m is in fact the
highest point that we will lodge at, and we take our time to reach this
altitude after getting well acclimatized. Naturally, we leave our packs
at Gorek Shep to make an afternoon incursion to Everest Base Camp,
passing spectacular glacial forms and enjoying the triumph of having
made it all the way! A trip that will surely go down into our dairies…..
