Duration: 11 days | Grade:
This scenic trek through the river valley of the Dudh Kosi takes you through the traditional Sherpa villages of Namche, Khumjung and Khunde and brings you to the ever- so-quiet monasteries at Thyangboche and Pangboche. You will meet the friendly Sherpas and enjoy their world renowned hospitality.
You will also be amazed to observe how life continues in this extremely quiet and spiritual side of the world; very much at its own pace as it has done for centuries. Our highest point is Pangboche [3908m] with its delightfully unspoilt monastery, the way it was ever since its inception. There may also be an opportunity for you to visit the rather rare and unusual Buddhist nunnery at Deboche and the famous Thyangboche Monastery, set high on an inclined ridge, commanding some of the most spectacular views in the area.
Indeed, throughout this trek, you will have magnificent views of Mt Everest [8848m], Lhotse [8501m], Nuptse [7879m], Ama Dablam [6856m], Thamserku [6608m] and Kantega [6685m].
You will also see great glaciers, sprawling snowfields and glistening ice ridges emitting sparkling flashes in the warm, Himalayan sun. 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 never have a better tryst with the gods of nature as you would on this trek.
