The Everest region is understandably one of the world’s
most popular and spectacular hiking destinations, as it
offers fascinating and enjoyable trekking. This trip
begins with a scenic flight to Lukla. The trek starts from
here, passing many farm villages en route with beautiful
views of the world’s highest snow capped peaks. The
highest point of our trip is at Kala Pattar, where we get
an outstanding panoramic view of peaks and its glaciers,
including Mount Everest.
Our Everest Base Camp itinerary is both a scenic and
cultural adventure in the famous Khumbu region. We include
all the highlights of the Everest National Park including
Namche Bazaar (the Khumbu’s Sherpa capital) the unmatched
view point of Kala Patthar (18,188ft) and a visit to the
ever-exciting Everest Base Camp. With extraordinary views
of Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse and with ample time to
acclimatize and visit the Buddhist monasteries of
Pangboche, one of the oldest in the area and Thyangboche,
this really is a classic trekking adventure.
From your participation in this trek US$500 per person is
donated to an Orphanage, a non-profit organization, whose
mission statement is to provide orphaned and
underprivileged children living in Nepal with basic human
rights, health services, education, accommodation and
love. The orphanage cares for Nepalese remote village
children whose parents have either passed away,
disappeared or are too poor to feed and educate them. We
are working closely with the Orphanage in Kathmandu. |
