With eight of the Worlds ten highest peaks. Nepal is loaded with spectacular mountains vistas. The Everest trek is justifiably famous not only for its proximity to the world’s highest mountain but also for its friendly Sherpa people. Picturesque villages, great variety of cultures and traditions, colorful festivals and monasteries. The Sagarmatha National park is rich with flora and fauna, but the existence of the Yeti remains a mystery.
This trek cuts across the valley and starts in Nepal speaking Hindu lowlands and ends in the Tibetan Buddhists Kingdom.
The ultimate challenge is this trek is across Cho La Pass (5,420m), which takes 18-21 days and covers both the Gokyo Lake area and the Everest Base Camp. There are some short and interesting “climbs” of Gokyo Ri, Chukkung Ri and Kalapatthar for the classic views of icefalls and glaciers of Mahalangur Himalayan range you will have a breath taking view of Everest, Cho O Yu, Lhotse, Lhotse Shar and Makalu

Beginning with a slight climb to Jhorsalle, the trail passes a waterfall. All day, we pass villages interspersed with magnificent forest- rhododendron, magniolia trees and giant firs. And on the way to walking you will be rewarded (weather permitting) your first glimpse of Kusum Kanggru (6369m) Thamserku (6608m) Everest (8848m) and Nuptse (7879 m). A steep climb up to the beautiful village of Namche bazaar (3440m).
Acclimatization is most important before proceeding to a higher elevation. It is therefore recommended that you take a short days hike to Thame, Khunde or Khumjung or relax and explore the sherpa culture of Namche.
