You will be surrounded by the giants of the Himalaya. Leaving Lukla we follow the Dudh Kosi River up to Namche with some spectacular bridges along the way. The stunning scenes from the view point here rivals no other place in the world. The trail carries on up to Tengboche with the monastery situated majestically on the ridge above the valley and looking up to Mt Everest or originally known as Chomolungma - the mother goddess of the world. Time at Pheriche exploring will help us to acclimatise and prepare for our onward trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar. In Kathmandu you will have a chance to experience the hustle and bustle of markets and most of all enjoy the hospitality of the wonderful Nepali people.
