Everest (8848m) - there is no greater mountain on Earth and this lodge-based trek follows in the footsteps of the great climbing parties attempting to ascend the mountain from the Nepalese side.
Trekking through Sherpa country past cultivated fields and small villages, the trail follows the Dudh Kosi before the hard work begins as we climb up to Namche Bazaar. Above the tree-line the scenery is stark but spectacular.
The incredible monastery at Thyangboche is a photographer's paradise and a highlight of the trek, set against the backdrop of Ama Dablam, Everest and other huge, snowcapped peaks.
With time for acclimatisation en route, our goal is Everest Base Camp on the Khumbu glacier and the opportunity to climb Kala Pattar (5545m) for a breathtaking view of Everest and one of the greatest mountain panoramas on Earth.
13 days point-to-point walking with full porterage. Altitude maximum 5545m, average 3900m. Grade C.
