come together in a mix one cannot help but be a part of. The trek begins with the excitement of a 35-

trek starts at Lukla for a 3-4 hour climb to Phakding at 2,610 meters / 8,563 feet of green rolling
country, suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River, and the canopy of Buddhist prayer wheels
and stupas. The trek gives the first view of Kusum Kanguru at 6,367 meters, a beautiful great peak
with the mountains to come.

historic base camp, fluttered with prayer flags and flanked by monolith peaks such as Everest,
Pumori, and Nuptse. The trek reaches Kala Patthar (5,545 m / 18,192 ft), the trekking summit, and

descent, the trek passes through Sherpas’ villages, the forest, and across the Dudh Koshi River, and
thereby an opportunity is being provided to the trekkers to have their spine-chilling moment.

the Himalayas with a dash of unspoiled beauty, Sherpa culture, and thrill of high-altitude trekking. It
is a lifetime experience for anyone who wants to reach out towards the marvel of nature and the
