and Makalu. The first week of
the trek is rugged, remote, and
dramatic. We hike from the hot,
subtropical Arun River Valley
(2,900') up over the Salpa Pass
(10,990') in just a few days.
On our way to
Sherpa country we have fantastic
views of Makalu, Kangchenjunga,
and Everest's rarelyseen east
face. After a week of passing
through villages that have changed
little for centuries, we begin
to trek to Everest Base Camp.
Enroute we'll spend several days
acclimatizing at Namiche Bazaar
and Thyangboche Monastery.
The final days'
trek to Base Camp are absolutely
spectacular. We fly out from Syangboche.
On the April departure, we are
treated to spectacular rhododendron
forests in full bloom.
