"on the classic trail to Mt.Everest Base Camp, rich Tibetan Buddhist culture on the world's highest valley, great views of the giant snow capped peaks"

Introduction

We start our trek driving first to Jiri (1,867m.) a 170 Km. mountain run. The trek then begins walking with a climb to the ridge top at 2400 metres then drop down to Shivalaya (1,768m.) and towards Bhandar (2,194m.). Since reaching this village we have been in Sherpa Country and will continue through land populated by these hardy ethno clan, as far as the upper most of pasture lands beneath Mt. Everest.

We also have the option to visit Everest Ice fall or Expedition Base Camp, depending on how fit we are when we are at Gorakshep.

Return journey is made via Pheriche, Thyangboche ( a famous monastery site much highlighted in the media by photographers, journalists and the heritage societies ), Namche and finally to Lukla to conclude this Mt. Everest trek, as a great experience for a life time.
