This introductory trek, staying in comfortable lodges, offers sensational mountain views and an insight into the lives of the local Sherpa people. We spend two days Kathmandu to relax and enjoy the mystical shrines and temples of this magical city before we fly to Lukla, the starting point of our trek. For the first two days we trek slowly, to aid acclimatisation, heading north up the Dudh Kosi valley. Our route takes us through beautiful tracts of pine and rhododendron forest, with the peaks of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru soaring above the trail. It is a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar (3446m), the capital of the famous Khumbu Sherpas, where we are rewarded with spectacular mountain vistas. We allow a rest day here to aid acclimatisation and there will be the option of short walks towards the Thami valley and the nearby national park museum.
From Namche we follow the trail to the famous Thyangboche Monastery, located high on a ridge where a magnificent 360-degree panorama of Himalayan giants is laid before us. The views of Everest, the Lhotse/Nuptse wall, Ama Dablam and Kantega dominate this peaceful and spiritual location, surely one of the most tranquil and inspiring places in the world. Our return journey from Thyangboche passes through the picturesque villages of Khumjung and Kunde, back to the airstrip at Lukla where, after a final farewell celebration, we say goodbye to our Sherpa crew. The following day we fly back to Kathmandu, where we have time to relax, shop or sample the delights of the many excellent Kathmandu restaurants.
