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.
