Trip Snapshot
Following the footsteps of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay we take a thrilling steady climb of 2800 m / 9187 ft to 5545 m / 18193 ft from Lukla to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patar (5545 m), a viewpoint recognized as the best vantage point to see Mount Everest. After exploring the temples, shrines, bazaars, and restaurants of Kathmandu we take an exciting mountain flight to Lukla and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley, surrounded by the soaring peaks of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. It’s a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar, capital of the Kumbu Sherpas, and then the trail passing Buddhist monasteries to have the views of Everest get closer every day. This trek is particularly strenuous as there are many ups and downs and the itinerary doesn’t allow us for proper acclimatization days.
