This spectacular trek will more than satisfy the ambitious trekker intent on crossing high passes without the commitment to any technical climbing. The trek offers an enduring experience of natural beauty, geological magnificence and profound cross-cultural discovery. The Sherpa residents of Khumbu, the great valley below Mount Everest, believe that all things - mountains, plants and animals are sacred.
We start this trek from Lukla after 45 minute mountain flight. Trekking through Namche, Tenboche and Finally to Chhukung where we spend a night before crossing Kongma la.
