Everest Adventure 12 days

The Everest region has arguably the most dramatic mountain scenery in the world and you don’t need to go all the way to Base Camp for the best views. This lodge-based trek offers sensational mountain views and an insight into the lives of the Sherpa people. We fly to Lukla and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley, surrounded by the soaring peaks of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. It’s a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar, capital of the Khumbu Sherpas, where we are again greeted by spectacular mountain vistas. A rest day here aids acclimatization and we explore the local market and enjoy an optional walk towards Thami. We then follow the trail to the famous Thyangboche Monastery, located under the shadow of Everest, Ama Dablam, Kantega and countless other snow peaks. Our return route takes in the school in Khumjung and the hospital in Kunde, both built in the 1960s by Sir Edmund Hillary. Then it's back to Namche Bazaar before descending to Lukla for the spectacular flight back to Kathmandu.

  The guide was professional at all times, had a good sense of humour and showed care and concern for those who needed extra help from him. Always willing to answer questions. The sherpa guides were always helpful, friendly and also had a cheeky sense of humour. On the days that I struggled they were close by if needed but inobtrusive at other times.

  Thank you Peregrine for a trip we will never forget, although it was the hardest thing we have ever done it was also the most fulfilling. Minus 20 degrees on Christmas night takes some beating.  We also met some great people. 

  Our guide Mukund was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for him. He and his helpers, Baboo & Ringze made sure we were well taken care of. Back in Kathmandu he arranged a second group dinner for us after the tour had officially ended and made sure we got safely to the airport. We would be very happy to have him as a guide again.
