This trip introduces you to the world’s highest mountain, offering spectacular views of the forbidding slopes of Nepal’s famous Sagarmatha, commonly known as Everest. We fly to Lukla and begin trekking through the land of the legendary Sherpas into the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park. Since the successful ascent of Everest, the Khumbu region has enjoyed international attention. We will walk in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay, Hillary, Bonnington and Messner.

Following the classic trail to Namche Bazaar (a regional trading market), we go to Tengboche, a famous mountain monastery. From Tengboche to Pangboche (3085m) the trail rises through gorgeous alpine meadows where yaks graze quietly, After touring the monastery we set out and cross the Lobuche Khola to arrive at Pheriche. After crossing the moraines of the Changri Shar Glacier, we reach the sandy plain of Gorakshep. Then we climb up amongst large boulders to the broad summit of Kalapattar (5545m), which offers the best view of Everest and the Khumbu Glacier.

Alternately called Everest, Sagarmatha (Nepal) or Chomolongma (Tibet), the highest peak of this planet is stunning to behold. The trek will end at Shyangboche or Lukla, and fly out to Kathmandu.
