The trek will begin after a short, scenic flight to Lukla in the Khumbu region. This trek has been designed to take you through the Everest region’s famous and less busy trails. We have selected lodges owned by exciting characters with stories that will enchant you. Likewise, we have picked less active lodges.

Staying in locally run tea houses along the way, you walk to the villages of Phakding and Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital of the world. Namche Bazaar is a bustling little town with numerous cafes, restaurants, shops with essentials for trekkers, bars, and even laundry service.

This trek’s numerous highlights are visiting villages home to World record-setting/breaking Sherpas. You will even stay and dine at the homes of two of these famous Sherpas. One of the spiritual highlights is the Tengboche monastery, which offers an incredible panorama of Mount Nuptse 7901 meters, Lhotse 8501 meters, Ama Dablam 6812 meters, and of course, Mount Everest! This monastery was first built in 1916 and has been rebuilt twice. It was damaged by the 1923 earthquake and a fire in 1989. The current building was rebuilt after the fire. The renowned Abbot of the monastery, Lama Ngawang Tenzing Jangpo Rimpoche, passed away quietly on the 9th of October 2020.

You will encounter various wildlife and birds that are both residents and migratory. The wildlife population has increased since the Sagarmatha National Park was established in 1976, and it was Nepal’s first national park to be inscribed as a World Heritage site in 1979.

Note: Flight to Lukla and back can be delayed or cancelled due to poor visibility. We ask you to have buffer days of a few days in case your flight to Lukla is affected.
