An Awe-inspiring Everest Views Trek – 10 days
“Cultural, religious and natural interests, set within an awe-inspiring landscape below world’s Mountain The Everest with Incredibly challenging trek to Himalayan High Valleys and exploration of tranquil highland hamlets and sacred monasteries – Everest High Valley Trek”
The experience of 2 weeks below Everest trek helps you release the demons within you as you hike down to its ever so peaceful monasteries while simultaneously viewing some of the highest and most panoramic peaks on the planet.
This scenic trek through the river valley of the DudhKoshi takes you through the traditional Sherpa villages where you will meet the friendly Sherpas and enjoy their hospitality. Our highest point is Pangboche (3,908m), which has a delightful and un-spoilt monastery, the way it was ever since its inception. There may also be an opportunity for you to visit the famous Thyangboche Monastery, set high on an inclined ridge, commanding the most spectacular view of Mt. AmaDablam.
A week below Everest offers the magnificent views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, AmaDablam, Thamserku and Kantega. You will also see great glaciers, sprawling snowfields and glistening ice ridges emitting sparkling flashes during warm sunshine. You will experience some unique nature hikes through dark forests, open pastures and wade through masses of rhododendron flowers in the pre-monsoon, or the reds and gold ones of autumn in the post-monsoons. You will also look into the intricately carved Mani stones and Prayer flags whispering odes to the gods in the breeze and the all-seeing eyes of Buddha on every Chorten and stupa.

The park was set-up to conserve this fragile mountain environment. We then ascend steeply to Namche and along the way, if the weather permits,you catch the first glimpse of Mt Everest. Namche is the main trading village in Khumbu and has a busy Saturday market – a meeting place for the Hindu traders from the lowlands and the Tibetan yak caravans that have crossed the glaciated Nangpa La. You then reach the Namche bazaar.Overnight in Namche.
Day 05: Rest Day atNamche (3,450m)
Namche tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, teashops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook that seems to meet western standards, even at this remote mountain outpost. The amazing Sherpa folks down here have learnt a lot from the big expeditions that have passed this way. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude before heading off towards Tengboche. Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khunde hospital, which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one-hour walk up to the Everest view hotel above Namche for the sunset view of AmaDablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. There are also good views from the national park centre and museum just above the town. We have a nice time at Namche and then settle in for the night.Overnight in Namche.
Day 06: Trek to Tengboche (3,864m), approx. 6-7 hours walk
Heading east, we pass a large Chorten and then descend to a bridge across the DudhKoshi at PhunkiTenga. From the river, the trail ascends through a forest of pine and rhododendron, before arriving at Thyangboche Monastery. The views here are truly awesome, from the beautiful AmaDablam to Lhotse and Everest at the head of the valley. The Gompa has been rebuilt since a tragic fire in 1989 destroyed it. The monastery is well worth a visit. Overnight in Tengboche.
