This trek is a long and varied route to our destination and allows gradual acclimatization and attainment of physical fitness. It is worth the hard work and provide one the opportunity to observe intimately the change in terrain and culture as one treks to the wilderness of the base camp. We first encounter the predominantly Hindu farming communities of the hills, followed by Sherpa Buddhist Communities and their monasteries in the highlands. We visit Namche Bazar, Khumbu’s most colorful commercial center, the famous Thangboche Monastery and the ancient Pangboche Monastery. We then ascend to the high pastures of Dingboche and Lobuche, pass through Gorakshep and finally reach the base camp of Everest. Those who want to, can take the tough 4 hours hike up to Kala Pathar (5676m). On return we fly back from Lukla to Kathmandu.

5. Solu Trek (10 days):

We have focused our cultural trips on those tribal areas and ethnic regions that provide diverse cultural and ecological experiences. An example of our main cultural trips is a trip to the region of the Sherpas . This visit provides a lesson in Tibetan and Sherpa Buddhism. The trip consists of visits to remote and sacred sites where we will have audience and hear the teachings of some of the most venerated Lamas in the area. We start with a days bus ride to Jiri, east of Kathmandu. As we ascend higher the gradual change of terrain parallels a change in culture as well. We leave behind the predominantly Hindu farming communities of the southern hills as we reach the Sherpa Buddhist communities of the high altitude yak pastures. Along this trek visit famous monasteries like Thupten Choling., Takshindu and Chiwang in the Solu region. The Tibetan Refugee Center of Chiyalsa provides an interesting opportunity to observe the life style of Tibetan refugees.
