This trek follows a classic approach to Mt. Everest, the highest peak on earth. It starts with a 7 hours journey by bus to Jiri on the border of the Solukhumbu. The route passes through the Sherpa villages and the alpine area. Once past Lukla we climb to Namche, the main trading village of the Khumbu area, where time is spent acclimatizing before continuing on via Tengboche Monastery to Pheriche, Lobuche and the early morning ascent to Kala Pattar. |
