Year-round
Everest - Home to Sherpas, Yetis, reincarnate Lamas, Gods, Goddesses, and a forgotten way of life. Fly to Lukla and trek north to Everest, through the heart of the Sherpa homeland. Rest and altitude acclimatization days are scheduled and you ascend slowly to a high point above 18,000 feet for unparalleled views of the great mountains.
Visit Namche Bazaar on market day with your new Nepalese friends and have an interview with a "rimpoche" (reincarnate Lama) at Thayangboche Monastery. Rushing water, forests, glaciers, religious images, and yak trains are all around you as you go.
One of our previous guests has written up her experiences on this trek. You might enjoy her journal

"I peeked out from my tent one morning to see a beautiful eagle soaring in the sky. I felt so good that it was a few moments before I realized that I was looking down at the bird."
