We begin our journey from Kathmandu by flight to
the mountain airstrip at Lukla, the heart of the
Everest Region. We follow the Dudh Kosi valley
Phakding Benkar Monjo to Namche Bazaar. The
Renjo-La Pass (5345m) route is off the usual
beaten track. At the pass, a great view of the
Gokyo lakes on one side and other two lakes on
the other side, and a myriad of snowy peaks in
the background provide this incredible
atmosphere. From the Gokyo peak enjoy stunning
summit mountain including Everest, Makalu and
Cho Oyo. From Gokyo we follow a trail over Cho-La
pass and reach Lobuche, Gorakshep Everest base
camp and Kalapatthar. After the ascent of
Kalapatthar (5545m) and the impressive up-close
view of Everest, our return route passes through
Tyangboche, a magnificent location with a
fascinating monastery which savor the incredible
scenery, including magnificent views of Everest
(8848m), Mt. Lhotse (8516m), Mt. Nuptse (7855m),
Mt. Ama Dablam (6856m), Kangtega (6809m),
Kwangde (6194m) etc and trek continue via Namche
Bazaar to Lukla than by flight back to Kathmandu.
