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. Amongst the many peaks that
surround the trekker daily are Everest, Cho-Oyu, Lhotse, Nuptse,
Pumori, Kangtega and Tawoche.
You can trek
to Everest Base Camp and see where it all began back in 1953, or you
may prefer something a little more remote such as the trek to the Gokyo
Valley. Gokyo boasts magnificent views of all the major peaks and is
nestled on one of 5 beautiful glacial lakes next to an enormous glacier.
Base Camp
The route to Everest Base Camp is probably the most famous mountain
trek in the world. Every spring and autumn the trail fills with
awestruck walkers who wind their way through friendly Sherpa villages.
Porters and yaks ferrying equipment seem minute compared to the
towering heights of Ama Dablam, Kangtega and Tawoche. Base Camp sits
astride glacial moraine beneath the unforgiving Khumbu Icefall, and
above it all the mighty Everest.
Highlights:
Sherpa culture, phenomenal mountain views, fantastic Tibetan
monasteries, musk deer and Himalayan pheasant, the trek of a lifetime!
