Eight of the world’s fourteen peaks that exceed 8,000m in height are situated in the Nepalese Himalayas. The highest of them all, standing at 8,848m, is Mt. Everest. Our trekking adventure begins at Lukla, where we will trek to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar. We will have plenty of time to acclimatise to the altitude, following the trail across numerous rivers. The trek leads gradually uphill from Thyangboche, where we reach our goal of Everest Base Camp with is glacial floor and sunlit valley. If we have any energy reserves we can aim for the highpoint of Kalapathar (5,647m) with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers including Mt. Everest. Having completed the challenge, we will have the chance to explore the city of Kathmandu and its many temples and bazaars.
