Description
Travel to the homeland of the Sherpas for this luxury Everest trek, staying in superbly appointed mountain lodges with no camping. Accompanied by expert guides and porters, you’ll trek high into the Himalayas, scaling the 4,830m Sumdur Ridge, entering the Khumbu Valley and experiencing breathtaking views of Everest. You’ll start the journey in Kathmandu, staying in five-star accommodation, before flying down across the mountains to Lukla. From here you’ll hit the trails, increasing altitude gradually to reach the Sherpa capital Namche Bazaar. Along the way you’ll find your lodges offer all the amenities of a city hotel, and all feature memorable mountain views. In Namche you’ll have a full day to acclimatize before continuing up to Thame with its atmospheric Buddhist monastery. Returning to Lukla you’ll take a new trail, crossing rhododendron-covered slopes with unique views of Everest itself. Flying back to Kathmandu there’ll be a full day to tour the ancient sites of the Kathmandu Valley at the end of your Himalayan tour.
