"highest
valley, traditional buddhist culture, beautiful
forest of firs, rhododendrons, birch, pines,
juniper and oaks in the shade of the high
Himalayan peaks" Introduction: This is an out standing trek visiting the high lush valleys of the Khumbu with time to explore villages and monasteries and to sample the incredible hospitality of the Sherpa people. Adventure begins with a sweeping flight to Lukla. A popular destination which provides a fascinating contrast to the high mountain scapes as we approach nearer. We trek slowly to Phakding our first day and night's camping spot. Next day then, we trek ahead to the Sherpa capital at Namche Bazaar. We have time to acclimatize ourselves, before following the quite trail to Gokyo and Khumjung village in the high valley and visiting the ancient Buddhist monastery here. Descending to Khumjung, we are treated to incredible view of Khangtiaga, Thermasarkhu and the Nuptse - Lhotse wall with the Mt. Everest rearing above. At the Khumjung we camp below Khumbila Peak, home of the patron God of the Khumbu, before making our way through lovely forests towards Pangboche and Thyangboche the many highlights of the adventure. The views along the trail throughout are tremendous, panorama of snow capped chain of mountain ranges to all sides and manly more exciting fun and enjoyment on the way.
