| Everest
Base Camp Trek A wonderful journey through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Himalaya, focusing on the high Sherpa villages and the breath-taking mountain views of the Everest region. Our trek is a window into traditional Sherpa villages and 'gompas' (monasteries), their mountain Buddhist culture and their sacred peaks and valley. Not only peaks, the Everest region is an incredibly spiritual place, and we have the chance to visit its many colorful gompas: Tengboche, Pangboche, Namche, Khumjung, Khunde and Thame. Throughout, we are surrounded by spectacular 8000 meter peak panoramas and hosted by welcoming Sherpas in their cozy lodges. Early Spring & November are the perfect times to trek in the Everest region, the peaks accentuated by clear, blue skies and without the hoards of trekkers who come during the peak months. Wildlife such as the Himalayan Tahr, musk deer, danphe (Himalayan pheasant, Nepal's national bird), blood pheasant, Himalayan snow-cock and snow-pigeon and chukkar roam the mountain-sides, and if you come in the Spring, it's rhododendron season, so the valleys are filled with reds, pinks and whites ...
