We fly to Lukla and begin trekking through the land
of the legendary Sherpas into the Sagarmatha (Everest)
national park.
Since the successful ascent of Everest the Khumbu
region has enjoyed the international attention. We
will follow the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay, Hillary,
Bonnington and Messner. We follow the classic trail
to Namche bazaar, Khumjung, Pangboche and Lobuche
to the Everest Base Camp and go on to Kalapathar.
From Tengboche to Pangboche (3,985m) the trail rises
through meadows where graze yak. After touring the
monastery we set out and cross the Lobuche Khola to
arrive at Pheriche. After crossing the moraines of
the Changri Shar Glacier, we reach the sandy plain
of Gorakshep. Then we climb up amongst large boulders
to the broad summit of Kalapathar (5,545m), which
offers the best view of Everest and Khumbu Glacier.
Whether it may be called Everest, Sagarmatha or Chomolungma,
the highest peak of this planet is stunning to behold.
The trek will end at Syangaboche or Lukla and fly
out to Katmandu.
