| The Khumbu region is the area of Nepal where the highest peaks in the world are located. From our high point we will have very close views of Everest, Pumori and Lohtse. The Khumbu is also home to the Sherpa culture. This trek and climb will take you from the village of Lukla to the highest peaks in the world. We will camp and hike in an ancient land where the Sherpas cook on yak dung fires and live a very simple life, Our food and equipment will be carried by porters and yaks to make our trip more enjoyable and cultural. This is an excellent opportunity to achieve a Himalayan Summit (6173m) together with an exhilarating trek to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar. The main reason of its popularity is its technically straightforward ridge, which attracts a lot of novice climbers without having any knowledge of snow and ice climbing. A physically fit & acclimatized person is well qualified to make an ascent over this Peak. A short orientation and demonstration on Ice climbing performed by our Sherpa Guide at the Base Camp is enough for you to head off for a summit bid. The climb being combined with a trek to Everest Base Camp you will have an advantage of experiencing the major highlights of the Everest area including Kala Pattar and Mt. Everest Base Camp, Sherpa villages and Monasteries along with a wonderful experience of a Himalayan Climb and it's fantastic views. This trip can be done during March to May and September to November.
