This trek is truly an incredible experience of this
magnificent region and its fascinating people. From Lukla (2,805m/9,200ft)
we trek to Namche Bazaar (3,436m/11,270ft) for a day of acclimatization
and optional hikes. From Namche we explore the Sherpa villages of
Khunde and Khumjung before heading for Thyangboche Monastery. After
visiting Chukung Ri we trek to Lobuche for a day-hike along the
Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,600ft) and a climb
of Kala Patthar Peak (5,550m/18,200ft) for a close encounter with
Mt. Everest. Surrounded by some of the highest mountains on the
Earth you will bask in this incredible mountain scenery before swinging
back by way of, little visited, Phortse village to fly out of Lukla |
