Everest Base Camp Trek 17 Days |
|
The Mount Everest National Park has been a popular destination for trekkers and climbers alike, since the very first expeditions to the Nepalese side of Everest in the 1950’s. To see as much as possible of this stunning part of Nepal, we have put together a superb trekking holiday in Nepal’s high Khumbu district which explores the two principal valleys of the area, and includes the ascents of two of the most breath-taking vantage points for Everest, namely Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri.
This itinerary also offers the option to trek up to the Base camp area of Everest. This circuit trek provides a taste of the Khumbu that is second to none, and offers an excellent challenge to the ambitious trekker on his or her first Himalayan trip. This great itinerary begins with a trek from the airstrip at Lukla to Namche Bazaar and onwards to the holy lakes at Gokyo, before crossing the quite challenging and spectacular Cho La to enter the main Khumbu Valley, close to the base camp for the south side of Everest. The return journey to the Khumbu capital of Namche Bazaar is on the main Everest Trail, leading through many small Sherpa villages and including visits to the famous monasteries at Pangboche and Thyangboche. Highlights of this excellent trek are the accessible summits of Gokyo Ri and Kala Patar which each provide magnificent views of the Southwest Face of Everest. We also take the opportunity to visit Everest Base camp for a closer look at the spectacular “Khumbu Icefall” The climbing route to the South Col, the route taken on the first ascent. |

We will be visiting three of the famous heritage sites in Kathmandu. You will visit first the Swayambunath Stupa (Monkey Temple). It is said that Swayambunath Stupa is more than 2,000 years old, and it symbolizes knowledge. The painted eyes on all four sides symbolize the all-seeing power of Buddha. It is an important Buddhist place where pilgrims from all over the world come. It is situated to the west of the city on a hill some 77 meters above the valley.
It is a 30 minutes drive to Boudhanath Stupa, another important Buddhist pilgrims site. This ancient Stupa is considered one of the biggest in the World. Every morning and evening, many Buddhist devotees come here to pray and circumambulate enabling the visitors to observe local religious practices.
The sacred Hindu temple Pashupatinath is considered the holiest cremation ground, and people bathe in the Bagmati River with a faith of cleansing themselves spiritually. Many Sadhus or Hindu Ascetics live here. During religious festivals, Hindus come to make offerings, and it is sometimes very crowded.
