Nepal needs no description for its natural, cultural and historical beauty. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It contains an incredible variety of scenery from the highest point on earth to the jungle lowlands along the Indian border. Naturally Nepal once is not enough!
A visit to the Everest region is a dream of many adventure lovers in the world. Considered as the second-most popular trekking destination in the nation, the region holds unique culture, traditions, life style of the local people, rich biodiversity, and majestic mountains. The region also got its popularity due to the presence of Mt. Everest (8,848m.), the world’s highest mountain in its lap.
The traditional homeland of the Sherpas, the renowned mountain people who moved south from the Tibetan plateau lies in the shadow of Everest. Exploring the region using colourful village inns, we maximize our contact with the Sherpa people. The trek to this region offers stunning combinations of majestic mountains view, scenery, history and culture as well as a variety of exciting ways of experiencing the Nepali way of life.
The trek is prepared for those who have limited time and cannot trek to the higher altitude. Besides, the trek is also popular among the senior citizens. Comparatively it is shorter than Everest Base Camp trek. In this trek, we would reach only up to Tyangboche monastery which is situated at an altitude of 3870m.
We enter the Khumbu region by air trough Kathmandu –Lukla flight. It takes around 40 minutes to reach Lukla from Kathmandu. Upon arrival at Lukla, we get refreshed in one of the best hotels and then start our trek. The trek continues through the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park with pine forests, rhododendron flowers and an abundance of wildlife to Namche Bazaar (3442m).
A day at Namche is spent for acclimatization and then we proceed to Tyangboche (3930m), the home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world (4100m).
The later days of this adventure journey will be spent in the delightful and scenic villages of Jorsale (Thumbung) at 2830m. and Khumjung where we will have the opportunity to interact with the legendary Sherpa people and participate in their astonishing traditional lifestyle. Finally, we come back to Kathmandu through Lukla.
