 Everest Classic
(Direct Everest BaseCamp/Kalapathar)

We fly to Lukla and begin trekking through the land of the legendary Sherpas into the Sagarmatha (Everest) national park. Since the successful ascent of Everest the Khumbu region has enjoyed the international attention. We will follow the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay, Hillary, Bonnington and Messner. We follow the classic trail to namche bazaar, Khumjung, Pangboche and Lobuche to the Everest Base Camp and go on to Kalapattar.

From Tengboche to Pangboche (3,985m) the trail rises through meadows where yak graze. After touring the monastery we set out and cross the Lobuche Khola to arrive at Pheriche. After crossing the moraines of the Changri Shar Glacier, we reach the sandy plain of Gorakshep. Then we climb up amongst large boulders to the broad summit of Kalapattar (5,545m), which offers the best view of Everest and Khumbu Glacier. Whether it may be called Everest, Sagarmatha or Chomolongma, the highest peak of this planet is stunning to behold. The trek will end at Shyangboche or Lukla and fly out to Katmandu. Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries and the highest peaks on Earth In the shadow of Everest lies the traditional homeland of the Sherpas, the renowned mountain people who moved south from the Tibetan plateau. We explore the region using colourful village inns, maximising our contact with the Sherpa people. Our first destination is Namche Bazaar, the trading capital and main town of the Khumbu region. Leaving Namche, we follow trails used by many Everest expeditions to the highlight of the trek, the famous monastery at Thyangboche, one of the finest mountain viewpoint in the world, and an optional trekking peak above Pangboche, which gives further spectacular views.
