This
16-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. |
