Detail Itinerary
Following the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, this trek promises the opportunity to play in the laps of the world’s tallest mountain. Having opened its doors to foreigners in 1950, the Everest region boasts of attracting travelers from all over the world.
Besides the revered name and the giant peaks, Sherpa villages, monasteries and the fluttering prayer flags speak of a culture and tradition so unchanged by the never ending throngs of
outsiders.
Most trekkers’ objective would be the base camp that stands at an altitude of 5,340 meters but some opt for an inconspicuous 5,545-meter hump on the southern flank of Mt. Pumori.
A trek which takes you into the heart of the mountains and the culture of the Everest region to the foot of the great peak itself. Commencing in Lukla (Airstrip for Everest) you trek up to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazar). A day is spent here for acclimatization and just soaking up the atmosphere of this bustling village before heading on up through Tenboche (Visiting the great monastery) Pheriche, Lobuche village and finally to your highest camp at Gorak Shep. This is the jumping off point for the climb up to Kala Pattar (5545m) for spectacular views of Mt. Everest, and the walk in to Everest Base Camp. This really is breathtaking mountain scenery and is well worth the effort of getting there. It is a relatively short trek which will have you standing literally at the foot of the world’s greatest peak.
