Situated in the Khumbu region of Nepal, this trek offers a breathtaking journey through the heart of the Himalayas. Trekkers traverse through picturesque Sherpa villages, dense forests, and high-altitude landscapes, all while enjoying stunning views of snow-capped peaks.
The trek typically starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where the trekking trail officially begins. As trekkers ascend, they pass through Namche Bazaar, a bustling market town, and other charming villages like Tengboche and Dingboche. Along the way, the trek provides opportunities to explore ancient monasteries, interact with the local Sherpa culture, and witness the unique mountain way of life.
